Hellspawn: Tales of Anguish

[ZeroKirbyX]

So, is this like a made up version of hell or is Hel, Hades, Satan, Anubis, etc god of hell or what?

This is the real version of Hell with some creative liberties. A lot of it is based on descriptions given by Dante's Inferno and the Bible.

All the Seven Deadly Sins are there, and each one is found on it's own Circle of Hell. The 4 rivers are also there, but they are represented differently. River Acheron is now the river of Blood. The River Styx is now a river of urine and feces. Then theres the River Phlegethon and the River Cocytus

Of course, they say there are 9 circles of Hell, but theres only about 7 represented here as actual circles.

The missing circles are Limbo, and the Floor of Hell.

Limbo surrounds the outside of Hell. You can see it on the world map but you can't reach it.

The Floor of Hell is at the center of hell and thousands of miles below it. Theres basically a deep hole at the center that leads to the Floor of Hell, and this is where Satan and the most sinful of sinners supposedly are (the last obstacle before approaching the most negative shattering point of the Divine Universe).

So basically the World Map will be like a Giant Circle, with a series of rings in it divided by rifts and rivers. But it will be a good world map. It's got a good looking chipset and is very dynamic. One of the things you got to watch out for are Hellstorms, which are basically scorching waves of fury unleashed by the Demon of Pride. Everytime you see the screen flash a couple times, that is your sign to hold down shift in order to protect yourself from the storm. Otherwise, your party will take massive damages and get afflicted with a condition.

Many of the monsters are also based on classical Hell creatures along with many new ones.


It should have you convinced.

Man, you thought this through. This is gonna be great. I don't really like the River Styx being the river of urine and feces, but meh.

That's because River Styx is the river dividing the circles of Gluttony and Greed.

Demons with whips force Gluttonous Sinners to wade through the river and eat their own waste. It's the price they have to pay for eating so much in the living world.
