The year 999. The spear fell.

A burning spear fell from heaven and tore a wound in the world. Sorcerers sealed it behind a Gate, and a fortress rose to guard it. Now the seals are failing. Descend through ten Circles of Hell, break the rulers who guard the spear's shards, and hold the last bastion of mankind.

Diablo-Style Combat

Click to move, hold to keep walking, click a monster to cut it down. Three-hit combos per class, hit-stop, blade trails and blood, and a dash that slips through a killing blow if your timing is right.

Choose Your Gates

Every Circle opens three gates: trials, moral choices, hazard runs and brawls, each with its reward shown up front. Clear them in the order you choose, then face the Circle's ruler.

The Last Bastion

Between descents, walk the fortress of Hellsgate: temper your blade at the Black Forge, restore spear shards at the Chapel, choose a path at the Mage Guild and resupply for the next fall.

The Descent

Ten Circles, Ten Rulers

Limbo's ash fields, the crimson spires of Lust, the bile pits of Gluttony, Greed's gilded vaults, the burning docks of Wrath and on down to the frozen throne of Treachery and the wound itself. Every Circle has its own monsters, landmarks, music and a ruler waiting at the bottom.

  • The Grey Judge, The Broken Prince, The Glutted Queen, Lord Avarrix
  • General Scald, The Unspoken Bishop, Warlord Tharn, The Smiling Seer
  • Seraphiel the Betrayer, and the World Wound itself
