About

You’ve been sent to Purgatory as punishment, but you have a chance to earn your way back to Heaven. Fight through waves of demons using powerful, hellish weapons in fast-paced battles. Explore dark and terrifying worlds to stop the fallen angel Azazel from invading Earth and reclaim your salvation. You can play alone or team up with up to three friends online.

  • Three-Player Online Cooperative Play – Play online with up to two friends, exploring diverse locations, uncovering secrets, and facing off against terrifying enemies.
  • Grotesque Terrors Await – Challenge a variety of horrifying foes, from hordes of demons to titanic terrors like the monstrous children of Azazel—the Nephilim.
  • Unleash the Pain – Use tarot cards to upgrade your abilities, rank up to expand your arsenal, and team up with other players to obliterate all foes.
