BattleBrew Productions, the indie team behind Cuisineer, has officially announced its next title: HellHeart Breaker. Slated to launch in Q1 2027 for PC via Steam, the game offers a daring fusion of roguelite combat mechanics and dating sim narratives—a mix that could define a new subgenre.
Set in the deepest layers of the Underworld, players take control of a prisoner whose only path to freedom lies not just through violence, but through emotional connections. As you encounter powerful monster-girls, you can either form bonds and gain unique abilities, or reject them and face them as future bosses in intense dungeon battles.
The game promises a wide array of systems:
Seven monster clans, each with personal lore and unique styles
35 weapons including jian, katars, and more
Elemental upgrades that align with personal playstyle
Seven diverse worlds to conquer
Cosmetic customization, house-building, fishing, and an in-game food economy
What makes HellHeart Breaker stand out isn’t just its mashup of genres—it’s the emotional weight it attaches to gameplay. Every choice impacts your path forward: will you fight for your escape, or charm your way to the top? This isn’t just a dating sim wearing combat armor—it’s a fully realized roguelite where affection and aggression walk hand in hand. BattleBrew seems to be saying: games can break hearts and boss fights at once.
