Hell Maiden is an upcoming horde survival deck-builder from AstralShift, set to light up Steam. The Portuguese indie studio, known for horror titles like Little Goody Two Shoes and Pocket Mirror, is stepping out of the shadows to deliver an action-packed adventure inspired by Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy.
In Hell Maiden, you play as Dante who inexplicably finds herself back in Hell after already reaching Paradiso, her memories completely wiped. Determined to claw her way back to Heaven and uncover the truth, she’s joined by the wise Roman poet Virgil and the saintly Beatrice. Your journey takes you through the nine Circles of Hell, where you’ll face swarms of fiends and towering bosses. You’ll build your arsenal by collecting, stacking, and merging tarot-inspired cards.
What sets Hell Maiden apart are the Poets of Limbo, legendary figures like Homer, Ovid, and Lucan, who lend their Blessings and Signature Weapons to your cause. Each poet offers unique perks, abilities, and ultimate attacks, letting you mix and match for unstoppable builds. The game’s visuals are amazing too, brilliantly merging nostalgic 2000s pixel art with a modern flair.
Hand-painted environments and dynamic 2D animation really make combat stand out, while the all-female cast, inspired by the charm of Touhou Project, adds a playful edge to The Divine Comedy’s themes. With multiple bosses, branching paths, and endless card combos, it’s a game built for replayability.
