Time is ticking before the excellent Hell Clock lands in the hands of more players, with Mad Mushroom confirming it will be heading to PS5 and Xbox Series on June 2.
Arriving on the same date to all available platforms is the game’s Cursed War expansion which explores yet another chapter of Brazilian history. This first major DLC focuses on the the Paraguayan War, a conflict between Paraguay and the Triple Alliance of Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay fought from 1864 to 1870.
The expansion will add a new story act, 10 new environments, and a slew of new skills to create devastating builds around. Other additions include new more challenging bosses and new endgame systems in the form of Endless Nightmares and a full version of Ascension.
Initially released last July on PC, Hell Clock is a roguelite ARPG that has a brutal ticking clock mechanic. At the start of a run, a ticking timer begins, and you’re pushed to use your time wisely, as once this expires its game over. It also stands itself apart too with a striking cel-shaded visual style and a unique premise, exploring Brazil’s War of Canudos.
In my review of Hell Clock, I described the game as being “a fun, adrenaline-fueled experience that I really enjoyed.”
