Fire & Brimstone 🔥

👿⛰️🌋⛰️⛰️

Delve into the ruins of a temple in the guts of a volcano, in the search for a powerful artefact that may let you have friends.
A unique and tight roguelike with a randomized skilltree and hand-designed monsters and items.

Your character, Jess, is an imp. Because of this, Jess has no friends. No one respects imps. But Jess has heard of an artefact that commands the respect of all beings. Doesn't that mean all beings could be Jess's friends?

To get the artefact, Jess will simply need to delve deep into the ruins of a temple set in the guts of a volcano. There Jess may find some less-than-friendly creatures, but also some helpful items, potent relics, and of course the local merchant.

Besides generated levels, the game features a randomized skilltree that makes every run truly unique without over-complexification. After you beat the regular game, you will unlock the ladder where every win will unlock the next handicap to put your strategy skills to the test. You may also unlock gambit mode, where you may stack as many of randomly-proposed handicaps as you want to make up a challenge of your own design.

A run may last from 10 to 40 minutes. Plays with a keyboard.

This game was partially funded on Patreon by people like you!

Our 3€-per-month Patreon subscription gives you our games as they come out, starting with the last game that came out when you subscribe. At this time, that means this game!

If you have the means, subscribing for 5€-per-month makes your name appear in the credits of the games that come out while you are subscribed, and gives you the OST of the games on Bandcamp. And for 10€-per-month, you also get access to a Discord channel where we frequently post news, articles and other resources we find interesting.

The games are given out as Itch keys and Steam keys to be redeemed on our website. The games initially release on Itch, and then come to Steam a bit later. When the game releases on a platform, the corresponding key appears. You can cancel your subscription at anytime and it won't revoke your game keys.

Fire & Brimstone was originally created for Pico-8 almost 10 years ago. You can still play that version over here in your browser, though it is quite difficult.

This new version was built from scratch in a new engine. While the core concept is the same, the gameplay is much improved, the interface is better, the spritework was redone at double the old resolution, and there is a ton of new content.

This new Fire & Brimstone is currently an Itch exclusive. But it will come out on Steam eventually. If you feel so inclined, wishlisting Fire & Brimstone there would be very helpful to us!

Buying the game here on Itch, or getting it through our Patreon subscription, will get you a Steam key when it releases there.
