About Eyes of Hellfire
Eyes of Hellfire is a co-operative RPG-strategy hybrid from Gambrinous that drops you into the spooky, candlelit corridors of a haunted Hellfire Club. Released in August 2025, it plays like a gothic board game where you and up to three friends take turns managing resources, solving puzzles, and surviving demonic threats. It’s turn-based strategy with RPG role customization, set in a grim, candlelit world where every decision feels like a gamble. Think of it as a mix of dungeon crawling and tactical planning, but with a focus on teamwork over solo glory. PC and Mac players can jump in together, whether online or split-screen.
Gameplay
Each session revolves around navigating a procedurally generated mansion, managing stamina, sanity, and inventory. You spend minutes toggling between a top-down strategy view, positioning your team, assigning roles, and planning routes, and quick-time action during combat. Turns are split into phases: exploration, combat, and item use. Enemies like spectral knights or shadow beasts force you to balance ranged attacks with defensive positioning. Puzzle sections require one player to act as a leader while others follow orders. The game forces you to conserve resources, as restocking is rare. Co-op mechanics demand constant communication, like trading tools or covering each other’s weaknesses.
What Players Think
The community scores it 88% user rating and 85% critic score, with 62% completing the main story. Average playtime is 25 hours, though 30% of players hit 50+ hours chasing side quests. Moods skew dark: 40% “scared,” 30% “tense,” and 20% “curious.” Reviews highlight the “claw-clenched atmosphere” and “tight co-op synergy” but gripe about combat AI that “misses too often.” Achievement completion sits at 75% for the 100 total, with 45 hours needed for full mastery. Critics call it “a tense, rewarding test of teamwork” but note the “slow pacing in later acts.”
PlayPile's Take
This is a niche pick for strategy fans who love planning with others. At $49.99, it offers 25 hours of core gameplay, but side content pushes it to 50. The 75-hour achievement grind may split casual players. If you enjoy tactical resource management and don’t mind slower combat, it’s worth the price. Skip if you prefer fast action or solo RPGs. The co-op is its strongest suit, but it’s not for the faint of heart, literally or figuratively.
