No Water in Hell

About

No Water in Hell casts you as a firefighter battling through the underworld with only a firehose to fend off demons. This top-down roguelite mixes dungeon crawling with fast-paced combat as you navigate procedurally generated levels filled with enemies. Each demon has distinct abilities that force you to adjust tactics on the fly while collecting upgrades to improve your chances of survival. The game's 4-directional movement and tight controls recall classics like The Legend of Zelda and Enter the Gungeon though with its own chaotic edge. What sets it apart is the escalating challenge as you progress from basic monster encounters to confrontations with hellish bosses. The climactic showdown against the Devil himself ties the story together though the real hook lies in mastering the ever-changing layouts and enemy types. Published by Caffnight Software in December 2023 it’s a short but punchy experience that leans into its absurd premise without taking itself too seriously.

Storyline

Once you land in hell, you'll do everything in your powers to try to fight your way out of it, slaying monsters, bosses, and making allies anywhere you can. As you'll learn however, there is no true way out of hell unless you run the underworld yourself, meaning your efforts will lead you to fighting the Devil himself.
