Okay, the 90's anime aesthetic has my attention. Hell Maiden is described as an action horde survival deck-building game inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy. Early Access launches on July 16th.
The cut scenes look gorgeous and the action, which has hordes of enemies attacking the player as Dante, are intense. Rescue the poets to receive their blessings and make your way through hell. Colour us interested.

Hell Maiden picks up from the ending of the original Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri.
Dante is now inexplicably back in Hell after having reached Paradiso — and she's lost all her memories to boot! Unable to remember anything about her past life or her first journey through Hell, Dante is determined to climb her way back to Heaven and once again come face to face with Paradiso's higher powers in search for answers.
A compelling story about passion, justice and love, Hell Maiden is more than a reimagining of the classic poem — it is the exciting continuation of its events!
