Helvetii

About

Helvetii is a 2D action game where you play as three warriors drawing power from ancient Celtic gods. Each character has distinct abilities that let you combo strikes, grapple enemies midair, and unleash divine attacks in fluid combat. The story follows their fight against a shifting threat called the Rot, with levels that change layout and enemy placement each time you play. Combat feels responsive and chaotic, balancing timing and creative use of environmental hazards. The game’s art style blends sharp animations with mythic aesthetics, giving each battle a dynamic look. While the single-player campaign clocks in at around 8-10 hours, the permadeath risk and procedural changes encourage replayability. Available on PC, PS4, PS5, and Switch since February 2023, it’s a punchy pick for players who enjoy fast-paced brawls with a mythological twist. Some players note the difficulty spikes can feel abrupt, but the core loop of fighting and adapting remains engaging.
