Para meu gosto pessoal, esse não foi meu conceito preferido no gênero, mas é porque eu gosto de jogos bullet heaven principalmente para me desassociar dos meus problemas da vida real e relaxar enquanto vejo lindas luzes piscando. Se você sempre achou que esses jogos poderiam ser muito chatos, Halls of Torment provavelmente é o que você está procurando. Com mais foco em como você executa uma run do que na build que você escolhe criar — incluindo opções de mira manual e ataque — acho que o jogo está do outro lado do espectro do gênero e adoro sua existência por causa disso.

It's a game inspired by Vampire Survivors, with a Diablo 2 aesthetic. It doesn't yet have the amount of content of its competitor, but it's gradually becoming a better game with each update. The gameplay is as simple as Vampire Survivors but with a few additional layers of complexity. I personally enjoy this game more, as it's a little more strategic and you can choose the direction of your attacks, it's a small change but one that makes all the difference. As well as extracting items and potions, the game has several layers to keep you in the game loop without it becoming too tiring and repetitive.

I thoroughly adore this game.
The art style was what attracted me to it but the gameplay is very tight and fun. The roguelike elements work well, the enemies are varied and the overall tone is consistent and well realised.

I think this game will stand the test of time as a well loved cult classic.

Halls of Torment is in a constant flux with Risk of Rain 2 for my favorite rogue-like on the market. Its an excellent hybrid of classic ARPGs like Diablo 1 & 2 and Vampire Survivors. Despite the randomness in certain events and upgrades the character building and customization with each character in and out of runs is extensive in building synergies. I highly recommend this game to fans of either genre the game takes after.

This game is what you get if you mixed Vampire Survivors and Diablo 2. Amount of variation between character playstyles is great and makes you want to experiment with equipment and different skills. The roguelite progression of sending 1 piece of equipment back per run, or upgrading the potions is kind of slow, I wish there was more going on or you had the ability to collect a bit more than 1 per run. The characters make up for that though with there being about a dozen of them at the point I played and its still in early access and more are being added. Overall a nice way to kill 45 mins (ish) and will definitely be checking it out again on further updates or full release.
