About this game
Hell Maiden is an action Horde Survival Deck-Building game inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy.
Follow Dante on a new adventure through Hell in search of a second chance at salvation.
Harness great power by strategically building and organizing your deck of unique weapons and abilities, and prove your divine worth by facing off against hordes of blood-thirsty demons and climbing your way to Heaven!
Overcome the challenges of the afterlife and wreak havoc in all 9 Circles of Hell by creating unique deck builds and wielding mythical weapons to tackle endless waves of enemies and defeat Hell’s toughest fiends.
Better yet, you get to keep and use your opponents' signature abilities in your own deck!
Pick your favorite Spirit Cards and combine them with a myriad of different abilities, bonuses and status effects to create powerful builds and decimate your opponents.
Equip Mod Cards to enhance and modify your Weapon Cards — edit, experiment, adapt, and reformulate your hand and card combinations as you go and refine your personal playstyle!
Accompanied by the Roman poet Virgil and protected by the sanctified Beatrice, you must rescue and befriend the Poets of Limbo to unlock new abilities and perks, ultimate attacks and signature weapons!
Meet all the legendary poets of antiquity including but not limited to Homer, Ovid, Horace and Lucan, and help them find their own way to salvation.
Hell Maiden picks up from the ending of the original Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri.
Dante is now inexplicably back in Hell after having reached Paradiso — and she's lost all her memories to boot! Unable to remember anything about her past life or her first journey through Hell, Dante is determined to climb her way back to Heaven and once again come face to face with Paradiso's higher powers in search for answers.
A compelling story about passion, justice and love, Hell Maiden is more than a reimagining of the classic poem — it is the exciting continuation of its events!
✦ Two unique levels themed around the Circles of Hell — each with new enemies to beat, quests and challenges to complete, Poets of Limbo to rescue and tough Boss Battles to overcome!
✦ 40+ abilities to mix, match and experiment with.
✦ 5 new abilities per rescued Poet of Limbo.
✦ 2 new abilities per defeated Boss.
✦ A compelling, all-encompassing narrative to drive your adventure.
✦ 4 Poets of Limbo to rescue and befriend across the two Circles of Hell.
✦ And more!
