If you’re into strategy and action, HELLCARD this update should catch your attention. It’s a thrilling title where you dive into dark dungeons, battling against various creatures with clever tactics. This December, things are getting even more intense with the addition of new foes and challenges. But first…
…we are committed to ensuring that Hellcard will run correctly and smoothly on Proton. Even before the advent of Steam Deck, we have been supporting Proton because we believe it is the best approach to gaming on Linux.
Thing Trunk recently responded to an email inquiry, updating that while they won’t be creating a native version of Hellcard, they are dedicated to using Proton for the Steam Deck experience. This commitment will continue into the full release.
First up, let’s talk about the HELLCARD update and spiders. These aren’t your ordinary creepy crawlies. They’re smarter and more dangerous, swarming in large numbers and making each encounter a true test of your skills. The twist? These spiders can also trap your moves and abilities by webbing them, adding a whole new layer to your strategy.

But spiders are just the beginning. There’s a whole lineup of new monsters to face in the HELLCARD update:
- Arachnad: Defeating this one is tricky because it can bring more arachnids into the fight upon its defeat.
- Corrupted Arachnod: This one’s particularly nasty, attacking with poison.
- Hot Crawler: Think of a fiery scorpion that messes with your ability to choose your next move.
- Slithering Bowman: A demon with long-range attacks that directly affect your options.
- Horror Whopper: A giant skeleton that makes other monsters stronger if you ignore it.
What sets this title apart from similar games is the importance of where monsters are placed. This update isn’t just about fighting; it’s about using the battlefield to your advantage in HELLCARD. Each decision, each placement, can make a big change.
For those who like to team up, HELLCARD offers a co-op mode where you can join forces with up to two friends or computer controlled allies to take on the Archdemon’s hordes. Prefer going solo? You can do that too, either alone or with computer allies. And if you’re into teaming up with others online, there’s an option for that as well.
