Halls of Torment is my favourite game in the games-like-Vampire-Survivors genre. In this video I play a run while discussing its game design.

I bloody love this game haha have played it for years.
Hey I like Halls of Torment as well. Its not bad, but it kind of got over shadowed by Vampire Survivors.
Before I even watch the video…OH HELL (pun intended) YEAH!
Great game to pass a bit of time
Could you check out Death Must Die?
I thought halls of torment was too easy for one of these games tbh, if you've played vampyre survivors or other such games before, youre gonna clear this game in under 10 hours with relative ease
game recognize game
I sent Chris a short email telling him about a game I'm working on. It's still just a prototype, but he actually took the time to reply. Such a gentleman! Really means a lot to me. You're awesome Chris!
Hi Chris Wilson from Light Pattern. Thanks for the upload! It's fun to see you enjoying and processing the design merits of somebody else's work, and I've love to see more uploads like this.
Also, thanks for believing in creativity and indie game developers in general. Things are feeling grim for me as we enter the age of vibe coding and one-prompt copies, especially as an amateur artist and designer.
Hi. I'm the original Chris Wilson =D
Asmongold's content aged like fine milk
Before I watch this, can someone tell me if this is gonna spoil Vampire Survivors for me by showing me a better game? I bought it and the three main DLCs a few weeks ago and have been working toward all the unlocks.
Asmongold? ewwww
ewww he watches assmongold 💀💀
Btw you can check Character Stats from the menu or during level-up to have better information such as what affected by Force or what your current class highest stats so you can prioritize what the best possible Ability.
Also sending bottle wont affects Well's count so before sending anything to the surface feel free putting any bottle first.
Hey chris i wonder did you ever hear about a game named "Mu online" this is a 23 year old mmorpg based off of diablo, worth to play probably on some private servers that have that old feel to them since the game was better back in the days but still an actuall mmorpg successor to diablo exists but isnt known that well in america, mostly europe.
Ey, no dungeon siege slander allowed. My fav game!! 😀 Nice gameplay tho!
The azeroth survivors game actually requires you to have the most updated version of wow installed
Oque diferencia o HoT para o Vampire Survivors? Estou na dúvida em qual comprar para meu ps5!
hi chris, im lorenz
why you not join d4 devs and bring diablo back to something good – if im blizzard, i would PAY whatever u want, bc i would get it back if you get hands on develement on diablo5
Hey Chris, can you let us know if you still watch Asmongold so we can act accordingly?
Hello Chris … Do you guys in GGG had talk about POE or POE2 Survivours 👀😃🫣🙌🔥🔥🔥 maybe for future? Or you don't want to go in that direction 😃?
I love how humble Chris is legit such a good dude.

Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor is also great!
Genuinely, how does the issue that was brought up about the use of assets in D2 survivors differ from a modder using assets in the game they're modding?
I've got 264 hours on Halls of Torment, I haven't played it in a while, but it was very cool to hear all our game-dev insights while watching you play.
39:50 so funny you mention d2 graphics as im literally playing original d2 lod and it looks gorgeous!
Was Smash T.V. the original?
Isnt this similiar to Deep Rock Galactic Survivor
My favorite part of Diablo 3 is that it only asks a weekend of me once per quarter. Diablo 3 remains my favorite ARPG.
There's a lot of things that the game doesn't tell you when u start. In the character sheet you can see what stuff life "force" does for ur character. You can see quite a few things about ur dmg /scaling etc there. Also you can throw down potions into the well for free (without consuming the well), so you can do that before you throw down items. In the end the game wont tell you about these things. Usually you find it out the hard way haha :'D
its been a while since i played but from what I remember if you dont send an item up you can send as many bottles as you want before it.
another thing is that if you pick up a good item you want to use for your run and you are confident enough you are going to make it to the end you can wait till after you kill the stage boss to send up an item in the well
35:30 the guy who developed one of the most eye burning games talking about readability.
Hellforged is an excellent upcoming game in this genre. I'd say it has a higher difficulty scaling and a bit more modern meta-progression with better gearing options. Where Halls of Torment is Diablo-influenced, I believe Hellforged is POE-influenced.
Oh, I was just looking for a video to listen to while farming shards for the 666 achievement 😀
