[h2]Hi everyone![/h2]


We are glad to announce that H.E.L.L. Shuffle early access is now live!
Thanks to everyone who made this possible, to everyone who played on the closed beta, and gave us generous feedback.

The game will definitely be changing over the time of the EA. We will be gathering your feedback to keep making the game better and better.
Right now we already have a forecast for future development. Although it's not scheduled yet - it shows our course.
Our first focus will be bugs, overall Quality of Life changes, story, gameplay/balance changes, and steam achievements followed by multiple game difficulties.



We will work hard to bring all of it to you as soon as possible. As for now - good luck with building your best deck and slaying enemies with it!

Cheers, and thank you,
Ice-T Team.

Hi everyone!

While Hell Shuffle is in the polishing state preparing for Early Access, we need your help and feedback about core gameplay right now as never before. That's why we decided to use the Steam Playtest feature. All you need to participate is to press the Request Access button on the game’s store page. After it is done you will receive an email notification that you are in, additionally Hell Shuffle Playtest game will appear in your library. Playtest works as a random distribution between participants but we will try to fit as many of you as we can.

The game is missing many crucial features at the moment, and we work hard to complete them: sound, story, art finalization, etc. So be ready to bump into temporary art, spelling mistakes, missing settings, and absence of tutorial.
We can’t wait to show you Hell Shuffle, to hear what you liked and what you did not.

If you want to leave us some feedback - use a link from the game's Main Menu. There is a short form with a couple of questions in it.

Cheers, and thank you,
Ice-T Team.

Known Issues:

• The game might crash once after unlocking the very first perk in the covenant tree.
  
• Z-fighting of the cards in hand still not beaten.
  

[h2]New Feature - Covenants![/h2]

Play and gather Skulls from the fallen enemies. Use Skulls to prove yourself worthy to one of the three factions: cold and cruel combatants Northstar, wealthy mega-corporates Enclave, or outlaw experimenters Cult. All of them will provide you with perks to increase your power every run. Only one faction will support you at a time.



Each Covenant provides you with:

• Skill card which can be modified in six different combinations.
  
• A unique set of perks with different playstyles.
  
• A set of new cards, talents, elite units, and trinkets available for all factions.
