'Down To Hell' (ALL) Comes To Nintendo Switch Next Week - Screens

Down To Hell is 2D slasher game with challenging difficulty and unique style inspired by metal music.

Down To Hell is a game with a heavy metal heart.

Inspired by the best elements of Metroidvania conventions, Down To Hell is best described as a 2D answer to combo and style based gameplay of dynamic slasher games such as Devil May Cry, with deep fighting system, rising levels of challenge and battles with larger-than-life bosses which test player’s skills to maximum.

All of the experience is enhanced by the grim, but evocative art style, inspired covers of metal albums, the darkest of dark fantasy and classic references such as legendary manga Berserk.

This approach is spiced up with selected elements of beat’em up, Soulslike and Metroidvania genres, to provide a diverse gameplay experience. But the game wouldn’t be as much fun and eye-candy without grim, but evocative art style inspired by covers of metal albums, the darkest of dark fantasy and classic references such as legendary manga Berserk.


“Down to Hell is a slasher with an unforgettable atmosphere. The darkness of the game is additionally enhanced by the stylized graphic design. The soundtrack that includes works by Polish heavy metal bands Decapitated and Koronal also play a large role” says CEO Ultimate Games S.A., Mateusz Zawadzki.

The dark atmosphere is punctuated by a truly metal soundtrack. Decapitated and KORONAL are onboard with their music, with more renown metal bands joining the score soon.

Currently available on PC (Steam), Down To Hell is coming to nintendo Switch (eShop) on December 23, 2019.
