Hell is Other Demons for Windows

An action platform shooter set in a world full of demons

Hell is Other Demons is a platform shooter in which the player takes on the role of a gun-wielding demon who must battle their way through many levels of fast-paced action. Along the way, the player will be able to unlock new abilities to fight the increasingly difficult enemies.

This game features a visually distinctive retro style that can be likened to Shovel Knight. It can also be compared to that game in the fast-paced side-scrolling action that it contains. In keeping with that retro style, there is an arcade mode to play, which alters the game dynamic to be more like the retro games that inspired Hell is Other Demons.

Fast-paced side-scrolling action

The core gameplay of Hell is Other Demons is an action side-scrolling platformer. The player takes on the role of a demon armed with various weapons. The player must work through the various levels, fighting off waves of enemies and different bosses. The environment is also hostile, with obstacles and traps to avoid as the player combats the enemies.

Game modes

There are two game modes for the player to experience—campaign mode and arcade mode. As the name suggests, campaign mode is a full playthrough of the game’s various levels, encountering thousands of demons and a range of bosses. Arcade mode is designed for fans of classic action platformers, and it presents the player with unlimited procedurally generated levels with the aim of getting as high a score as possible.

Ideal for fans of fast-paced retro action

The appeal of Hell is Other Demons may be limited to fans of the kind of retro games that this game is inspired by. Still, any players who enjoy fast-paced action may find something to like about the frantic combat and varied enemies on offer.
