    Rising Hell has moderately simple ambitions and fulfills them with aplomb. Sensibly priced and well presented, it’s an easy recommendation if you’re after an action platformer with a more satanic edge.

    Despite some minor complaints with the game, I still thoroughly enjoyed Rising Hell. As a fan of rogues, I feel this is a must-own title for fellow fans of the genre. And even though it’s a short ride, you more than get your money’s worth. Sure, I wish this version of the game had achievements, but the portability of the Switch helps mollify me. All I can say is that I’m impressed by the game and implore the devs to work on a more substantial title next. But if you enjoy dark, edgy rogues with a rocking heavy metal soundtrack, you definitely need to pick Rising Hell up.

The action feels great and the gameplay is addictive! I love games of this style and it's just super replayable. It's already at a budget price, so it's totally worth picking up. Fans of the rogue-lite genre will love this and I think it would be appealing to people who aren't sure about the genre yet. The platformer climbing is satisfying and makes this game feel really unique in my opinion.… Expand

If you like the genre, It is very likely you will like this game. It is simple, though, so don't expect anything like Dead Cells or Hades regarding complexity.… Expand
