Demo Update v0.51.0 Alpha This is the largest update Hellrifters has had. Two months of work, and it lands on the parts of the game you spend the most time with: the campaign has an ending you can actually reach, levels breathe between pushes, and your aim steers the squad's fire in every mode instead of only in Directional. Here is everything new since v0.41.0. A note before you read on: this…
The big one this update: Hellrifters now has a story. A narrative wraps around your missions, the Campaign is open from the start, and you can preview every character and loadout before you commit. Here is everything new since v0.36.2. New: a story layer Hellrifters now has a narrative running through the Campaign, woven into the menus and the missions themselves. The General and the Devil each…
This is a major update for Hellrifters. Combat has been rebuilt around what the game does best: commanding a squad through overwhelming hordes. You move, aim the squad, and carve through enemies while four Hellrifters keep up a steady stream of fire.

The biggest content update I have shipped to the Hellrifters Demo so far. Your squad isn't just cannon fodder anymore. They also play insensible soccer! Squad members now play like a real team, with each class taking on its own role in the kick-and-pass flow. Body pieces are no longer just a side effect of combat but a central way to resolve situations. And when the squad pulls it off, the came…
Hellrifters Demo v0.20.2 Alpha This is one of the biggest updates to the Hellrifters demo yet — a brand new game mode, a new way to play, and a deep new risk/reward system that reshapes every run. If you played the demo earlier, it's worth another look. New Game Mode: Battle Arena Survive enemy waves, level up your squad between rounds, and see how far you can push before the horde breaks throu…
