Hellbringer - Diablo the card game (Review)

In this video, we take a look at Hellbringer, a card game designed to capture the character-building, combo-building, and combat mechanics reminiscent of Diablo. Daniel highlights that while the game lacks exploration, it does a great job of focusing on those key elements. He also points out the variety of loot, skills, and the opportunity to create interesting combinations, especially as you build your character. The game includes several classes, item cards, expansions, and campaign options, which Daniel explains throughout the video. He notes that while the rulebook is decent, learning from the designer’s online videos makes it easier to grasp the gameplay. Daniel also discusses the game’s expansions, which he feels should be part of the base game due to how much they add.

Overall, Daniel’s review is an endorsement, expressing satisfaction with his decision to back the game on Kickstarter, especially for solo or two-player sessions. The game’s design offers a lot of creative potential, making it fun for fans of Diablo-style gameplay.

Hellbringer.

I took a chance on this on Kickstarter and I’m glad I did. It does a good job of simulating the character build options of action RPGs like Diablo.

How can I get my hands on it?

No idea. I backed it on Kickstarter. If you google Hellbring + Kickstarter, that’ll take you to the campaign page. Maybe you can ask the designer if you can still buy in the pledge manager, or if there will be copies for sell later.

Hmm… got me all excited too :wink:

Unfortunately the game designer has this to say on their website.

WHERE CAN I BUY HELLBRINGER?
Since I’m an Indie Game Designer, there’s no where to buy the game. I’m currently discussing with some distributors, but no official answers yet. You might have some luck by asking someone on the Hellbringer’s Discord server. Thank you for your interest!

Hopefully they’ll do another campaign. I think the response has been fairly positive. My review will be out next week. I like it.

Hey there!

I just discovered this forum thanks to a member of my Discord. (Kinda late I know :P)

I wanted to let you know that a new crowdfunding campaign is planned for September this year on Gamefound.

An update pack will be available for those who already own the game, and there will also be a brand new expansion named Bestiary & Forbidden Spells, featuring two new Classes (Necromancer and Alchemist), new Monsters, Elite Monsters, new Spells and more.

If you’ve ever wanted to get a copy, this will be your best chance:

P.S. I’ll be reaching out to DungeonDive soon to see if they’re interested in checking out the new content. :slight_smile:

Cheers!
Max

Is it weird that I have several alerts setup for the day the crowdfunding goes live?

I’ll have a new video covering the expansion posted next week!

Just wanted to say we’re having a great time playing this week! Started a campaign with Hunter & Monk. Just beat the 2nd scenario by the skin of our teeth. The monk didn’t even have any equipment left to transfer over to scenario 3 after the secret portal. :fearful:

But we’re excited to get more variety from the expansion!
