Halls of Torment News

95% rated Diablo rival Halls of Torment expands your builds with a free update

I love the style of classic '90s RPGs. All the old-school Diablo, Fallout, and Baldur's Gate games have such a delightful visual style that definitely shows its age, but still holds up because of how intentional it all looks. Everything feels grimy and rusty, but teeming with life at the same time. This is the exact presentation Halls of Torment is going for. The Vampire Survivors-inspired horde game is one of the most beloved of its kind on Steam, and now that 1.0 has been here for a while, we've got our first major update with plenty of free additions.
