If you’ve ever thought your daily commute was a nightmare, solo developer Kohl Meek is about to show you just how good you actually have it.
Get ready to swap your Oyster card for a shotgun, because HELLEVATORS—a blistering, fast-paced bullet hell action-roguelike—is officially letting players board its infernal public transit system for the very first time.
Next Stop: Bullet Hell
In HELLEVATORS, Hell isn’t just a pit of fire; it’s a chaotic, ever-shifting transit network. Players will have to fight their way through waves of demonic entities, dodging a relentless barrage of projectiles while navigating the tight, claustrophobic confines of the underworld’s elevators and subway cars.
As a roguelike, death is just part of the schedule. You can expect to die, upgrade your arsenal, and jump right back in for another frantic commute.
Catch the Demo at Steam Bullet Fest
The exciting news lands just ahead of Steam’s Bullet Fest, a week-long celebration of all things high-velocity and bullet-heavy running from June 8th through June 15th.
- What: A free, playable public demo of HELLEVATORS.
- When: Launching June 8th.
- Where: Exclusively on Steam.
This will be the first time the public can get their hands on the game’s tight mechanics and experience the adrenaline-fueled chaos firsthand.
When is the Full Release?
While the demo will give us a delicious, stress-inducing taste of the action this month, we’ll have to wait a little longer for the full itinerary. Kohl Meek has slated the full release of HELLEVATORS for Q4 2026.
Judging by the premise, it looks well worth the wait for any fan of Enter the Gungeon, Vampire Survivors, or classic arcade bullet hells.
TechMash Verdict: Mark your calendars for June 8th, head over to Steam, and make sure you don’t miss your stop. This is one public transit system you’ll actually want to get stuck in.
