- Halls of Torment perfectly captures the vibe of classic ARPGs while providing the fun 'one more run' loop of a survivor-like. Highly addictive and well-polished!
- The gear and equipment system adds a layer of depth that many other games in this genre lack. The art style is a breath of fresh air.
- Incredible value for the price. The character variety and build diversity kept me playing for over 50 hours easily.
- One of the best indie gems of the year. The atmosphere is dark and oppressive in the best way possible.
- Solid progression system. I love how unlocking achievements actually helps you grow stronger for future runs.
