Turn up the Heat with Punishment Mode

[h2]Hey everyone, [/h2]

[h2]Time to turn up the heat as Punishment mode is now available! [/h2]

There’s no rest for the wicked. Take up the mantle once more and return to the heavens for the game’s biggest update since launch!



In Punishment Mode step into a remixed, refreshed second run-through of Heaven with tougher combat and new challenges. Expect to fight bigger, stronger versions of familiar foes with enhanced abilities, and the bosses have picked up a few new tricks, too. Worse still, they’ve shared some of their power with their minions; players will find miniature (but still deadly) copies of the Archangels leading enemy squads out in the realm.

It’s not all pain and suffering here, to ease the sting and even up the odds a little, Punishment Mode moves many upgrade shrines and item boxes can be found near the beginning of Lucifer’s adventure, getting him back up to speed and ready to tackle these new threats.
If you’re returning - we hope you’ll find many quality-of-life improvements made since your last rampage through the pearly gates, including a new map system added in our last update, making traversing the heavens easier than ever before.



[h3]Punishment Mode’s Features:[/h3]
  • A remixed, harder campaign for players who thought they’d mastered Fallen Angel
  • A recolored, corrupted world to explore packed with dangerous upgraded foes
  • Longer, tougher boss fights with deadlier attack patterns
  • Deadly new mini-bosses join the ranks of enemies in the overworld
  • Quicker upgrades, to get players back into the action for round two

Prepare to be Punished!

[h2]Hey everyone, [/h2]

We wanted to share a quick update on our newest feature and modes to come real soon.

[h2]Upcoming Modes: [/h2]

[h3]Turbo Mode: (Coming Soon) [/h3]
In Turbo Mode, challenge time itself by controlling the speed modifier that goes from 0.75x to 1.5x. You’ll be able to increase or decrease the speed of the game to your liking. This setting affects spells and attacks, movement, along with your foes’ attack speeds.

[h3]Punishment Mode: (Coming Soon) [/h3]
What you can expect to experience while playing Punishment Mode will include distortion of visual changes from the normal mode along with enemy modifiers. Regular enemies will appear larger and be stronger versions of themselves; while some bosses will appear smaller and weaker. Additionally, upgrade shrines and item boxes will be rearranged in Punishment Mode to be at the start of the game, allowing the player to be fully upgraded early.

Discover your new way to punish Heaven’s minions as well as yourself.



[h3]Boss Rush Mode: [/h3]
Test your angelic and demonic skills against the game’s bosses and compete on the global leaderboards. At the start of a new game, players are able to activate Boss Rush Mode. Prior to each boss fight, you can expect to find three randomized loot chests to aid you in battle. Additionally, you’ll have the option to face all the bosses in story-mode order or randomized for an extra thrill. After raising havoc to Heaven, find out on the leaderboards if you’re the fastest Lucifer around.

Hey everyone,

[h3]Excited to share that Heaven has become even more menacing with new game modes along with several other minor updates have landed! [/h3]

Those looking to up the ante of difficulty in Lucifer’s Old Testament-worthy crusade can try out the newly introduced Challenge Modes. Toggle one or multiple challenges modes to modify your journey through the pearly gates. From going without upgrades to fighting without weapons and the unforgiving permadeath, players can find new ways to punish Heaven’s minions as well as themselves.



Releasing alongside Challenge Modes is Boss Rush Mode where players can test their angelic and demonic skills against the game’s bosses and compete for their spot on the global leaderboards. At the start of a new game, players are able to activate Boss Rush Mode. Players will be given three loot chests with randomized items, upgrades, and consumables before each boss. They’ll then have the option to face all the game’s bosses in story order or take their chances with a random rotation. After bringing a beat down of biblical proportions to all bosses, players’ times will be posted on the leaderboards.

Fallen Angel is Now Available!

Hello everyone!

[h2]We are beyond excited to announce we have officially launched Fallen Angel — our symphony of pixel art and demon-fuelled action! [/h2]

Time to take the fight to the armies of angels, exploring multiple realms of heaven, each molded by the Archangel that presides over it. Lush gardens, cyberpunk nightclubs, and even stranger realms await, with brutal boss battles that reimagine the tales of the Old Testament and plunge you into a “Paradise Lost” epoch filled with unrelenting waves of Heaven’s residents looking to cast the Fallen Angel out once more.


Ready to begin your journey through the afterlife?

[h2]About the Game[/h2]
Fallen Angel is a symphony of pixel art and demon-fuelled action. Fallen Angel blends melee and ranged combat in a fast-paced pixel action RPG with boss battles to spare. Battle angelic armies and ascend through weird and warped holy realms and claim vengeance. Set in a world inspired by the Old Testament, biblical apocrypha and more than a little modern style, the many realms of Heaven are a strange and varied place.

Lucifer won’t just be slicing his way through pearly gates and angelic choirs, but strange high-tech constructs, idyllic earth-like plains, cyberpunk nightclubs, floating islands, and more. Each archangel will possess a strong, thematic influence on the environments and creatures the player will encounter.

BIG Thank you!
We want to thank everyone for the support and those who participated in the beta testing period and feedback from those that tried out the demo during the Steam Game Festival.
