Oooh boy, it has surely been a long, long time since the last time that I wrote a review for any kind of game whatsoever. But this, this game deserves it. I will try to keep the review clean and somewhat short (I guess a little bit of a spoiler alert incoming!).

So, Helltaker is, simply put, a waifu simulator, but not your usual waifu simulator: you play as a man, known as "Helltaker" (well, I see what you did there, devs) and you had a dream about your own personal harem, but with waifus literally from Hell. Then, the game starts with a little bit of a story and the puzzle part begins.

There are, in total, 10 puzzles, each one being somewhat different but not that much from the last one. Also, if you have ever played Undertale, there is also a kind of puzzleish boss at the end, just like in that game. Each puzzle, when completed, grants you a new infernal waifu. There are lots of waifus, and they can range from 10 up to 12 (depending if you actually count 3 demons as only 1 or not).

After finishing each puzzle, it's sorta similar to a dating sim, but with only 2 answers that you can give. If you choose the right one, the waifu will be yours. If not, then she will kill you and you will have to restart the level all over again. So pick your cards right on each one of them! Also, some waifus can have more than 1 correct response, but hey, that's a little bit too spoilery!

Also, there are se secrets within this game, that will require you to pay more attention to certain blocks that you can move... Or, you can just search online to see what you have to do to finish some of those secrets or hell, just go with the path that guides give to you!

Nevertheless, this game was fun. Very fun. I really recommend you trying it out. Unfortonately, the only downside about playing it is that it's a short game. For me, it took 2.2 hours to finish it completely, including all anchievements, as well as a lot of failures and times that I did the same mistake all over and over, trying to solve some puzzles or in the ending, or just trying to find the secrets myself. So maybe, for you, it could take more or less the same time as mine.

Everything else about the game is perfect. The animations, the music, the little story, even the concept of the game itself! So, should you give it a try? Definitely. Don't think twice about it! And the best part is that it's a free game! Anyways, enjoy the game, and I hope to whomever is reading my review that it can help you out. Also, sorry in advance for any errors, I'm a little bit sleepy right now after spending my almost entire night and a little bit of my morning playing this game, so maybe some other time I will review my review (?).

Have a nice day! :)
