About Hell Clock

Hell Clock is Rogue Snail's action-roguelite about Canudos — the 19th-century Brazilian settlement the Republic destroyed — replayed as a descent into hell by Pajeú, a warrior hunting his mentor's stolen soul, with a ticking clock, Relics, Blessings and a Diablo-style isometric fight. It reached Android on September 17, 2026 as a $14.99 paid game, no ads, no purchases, with partial controller support. The port is early: reviewers call it blurry and laggy on flagships, and the rating sits at 3.1.

Hell Clock Review: Canudos as a Roguelite, $14.99 on Android, Not Yet Optimised

A Warrior of Canudos, a Clock, and Relics of Resistance

The setting is the point: Canudos, the settlement in Brazil's backlands that defied the new Republic in the 1890s and was wiped out, becomes a hell where Pajeú descends to rescue the soul of the Counsellor, his fallen mentor, against the undead of his oppressors. Each run is timed — the Hell Clock — and time warps as you go deeper for loot; Relics combine into builds, Blessings evolve them between floors, and the abilities are knife strikes, the great bell of Canudos swung as a hammer, and a sidearm; a Relaxed Mode removes the clock and a Hardcore mode sharpens it. A September 13, 2026 Play four-star loves the premise as very original, compares the play to Curse of the Dead Gods and ranks it below Dead Cells for variety; an August 30 review calls it a fun ARPG in the vein of Diablo 3; a September 18 four-star scores it 8 out of 10. Rated Mature 17+, in English and Portuguese, Android 8.0 or newer.

Blurry on a Galaxy S24 Ultra, Long Loads, Lag as the Hordes Grow

All three visible reviews are four stars with the same caveat. The September 13 player finds it very blurry even at max settings on a Galaxy S24 Ultra; the August 30 player, on a flagship phone and a Chromebook, reports jagged graphics on high, loading pages with no progress indicator, and lag that grows with the enemy count, and Rogue Snail's reply the next day acknowledges the performance issues and says optimisations are in progress; the September 18 player had a smooth full run on a Xiaomi tablet with an Xbox controller, with some lag. Version 2.0.0 on September 17 fixed download problems, added save progress to a Google account and partial controller support. The rating — 3.1 from 274 reviews, 10,000-plus installs — is lower than the visible reviews, which suggests the one-stars are about the port rather than the game. There is no iOS version; the original is on Steam and consoles.

$14.99, No Ads, No Purchases — a PC Price on a Phone

Google Play sells Hell Clock at $14.99 with no advertising badge and no in-app purchases — the full game, no unlock, no currency, no pass. It is a PC price on a phone, and the port's current state makes it a bet on the developer's optimisation promise. The data-safety card lists Personal info, App info and performance, and Device IDs collected, nothing shared. Rogue Snail — the Brazilian studio behind Relic Hunters — supports it from a company address and answers reviews within a day. Google Play lists no download size. Prices are regional.

Verdict

A 6.9 for a roguelite with a story worth telling and systems worth learning, ported to Android before the port was ready and priced like the PC game. Take it if you played it on Steam or want an isometric roguelite with a Brazilian soul and own a controller and a tablet. Skip it on a phone until Rogue Snail's optimisation lands — the reviews say it is coming.

Gameplay7Curse of the Dead Gods-style descents with builds worth planning; less variety than Dead Cells, per a fan.

Controls6Touch plus partial controller support since version 2.0 — best on a pad, per a tablet player.

Replay value7Relic combinations, chapters, Hardcore and Relaxed modes to run again.

Graphics & sound5Atmospheric on PC; blurry, jagged and laggy on phones until the promised optimisation.

Monetisation8One price, nothing else — steep for a port in this state.

Frequently asked questions

Can you play Hell Clock offline?

Yes — it is a paid single-player roguelite with no ads or online features; the September 2026 update added optional progress saving to a Google account, which syncs when online but is not required to play.

Is Hell Clock free?

No. It is $14.99 on Google Play, paid once, with no in-app purchases and no ads — the full game as sold on Steam. There is no free trial. Prices vary by region.

What phone do you need for Hell Clock?

Android 8.0 or newer on paper; in practice, September 2026 reviewers on a Galaxy S24 Ultra and other flagships report blur, jagged edges and lag, and Rogue Snail says mobile optimisation is in progress. A tablet with an Xbox controller gave one reviewer a smooth full run. There is no iOS version.

Can you play Hell Clock with friends?

No. It is a single-player descent — Pajeú alone against the undead — with no co-op, multiplayer or leaderboards on the store page. The Steam and console versions are single-player too, so nothing is missing from the port on that count.

How long does a Hell Clock run take?

A run is a timed descent of a few floors — minutes to half an hour depending on how deep you push — across chapters that a September 2026 reviewer completed in a full run on a tablet. Relaxed Mode removes the timer; Hardcore adds pressure. The long clock is the Relic combinations and Blessing builds.
