Little Goody Two Shoes developer AstralShift recently announced its next title, Hell Maiden, which AstralShift says is an “action-packed” version of Dante's Inferno starring a beautiful anime girl I'd be happy to marry, if it is necessary.
“L'amor che move il sole e l'altre stelle,” or “a love that moves the sun and other stars,” begins the trailer for Hell Maiden, which borrows the sugar-soaked line from Paradiso, the final section of The Divine. Comedy. Behind him appears a beating red heart, twisted with barbed wire holding a lit candle.
During the rest of the trailer, AstralShift quickly shows previews of what's to come in Hell Maiden, like a moving eyeball: angels with halos swimming around the sun, a woman's outstretched hand passing through a white rose, a shooting star …no, a girl with fire in her eyes, raining down from the layers of snow in the sky.
When I was a child, my true dream was to become a medieval poet who controlled the powers of good and evil. (Before that I wanted to be a dancer who was a mouse). So I hope Hell Maiden becomes the game that ruins all the others for me, and I can't wait.
The creator of Helltaker has a new free game with ghost girls instead of demon girls, and after less than a month it has over 9,000 reviews on Steam with 96% positive..
