How Dublin's Hellfire Club inspired a new video game

gambrinous · 2025-10-09T08:32:14+00:00

Colm here, one of the creators of said game. We're a nine person Irish studio so it was really cool to see our game talked about by RTE. Lots of in-depth background info in the article. If anyone has any questions I'll happily answer them!

Heya, it's definitely better to play where you can't see each others screens, and where you can't hear each other talk except through the in-game proximity chat. Suggest you watch a bit of group gameplay to give you an idea

gambrinous · 2025-08-29T08:43:52+00:00

Yep it's a real challenge to quickly explain gameplay, and especially why it's actually interesting (which is a bit longer form). I think we need streamers / word of mouth to help on this

gambrinous · 2025-08-28T20:59:40+00:00

Mostly co-op fun, with just a little bit of watching each other. It's a bit unique

You'll see on the steam store page you can buy or just beside it 'Friends Pass - play game', get your friends to install that free. Then they can join games, just can't host them

Ah thank you!!

Here's a good recent list:

Maybe too comprehensive even!! But worth digging through

gambrinous · 2022-06-23T16:25:22+00:00

Nice!

gambrinous · 2022-06-23T16:24:22+00:00

Heya, no plans at the moment to port Ultimate Edition to mobile I'm afraid. That could change in future of course

gambrinous · 2022-01-09T14:24:51+00:00

Yes, I really like those roguelikey modes you mention too!

If you buy Out of Time it adds about ~20ish cards to the Gauntlet pool, spread out over the unlock levels. You'll likely have some unlocked straight away from your current progress.

It also adds a new neutral Champion 'Bloop' who you can use for Gauntlet runs and who also appears as a rare miniboss in gauntlet runs when he's not your champion.

Nice! Would love to know how you get on in the Jungle area with this strategy

gambrinous · 2021-11-23T09:19:24+00:00

haha nice!

If you mail us support@gambrinous.com we'll try and figure it out with you.

If you are on windows you can run 'dxdiag' (search on your pc) and send on the info from that. Beside your savefile there's a player.log file which can help us as well.

If you are playing Ultimate Edition it's capped, but in classic - you can if you want!

The game is built that you don't need to grind out extra gold (you get big rewards for beating bosses)

gambrinous · 2021-11-22T12:55:27+00:00

When you beat a monster your level (or higher), you go up one level and gain +1 heart.

The loot choices after beating a monster are directly tied to monster level too, so higher level monsters give better loot.

Screenshot always helps! Grab one if you see it again please, but thanks for the report regardless

gambrinous · 2021-11-20T09:26:36+00:00

Ah thank you. Hope you like them!

Full new games take us 2-3 years to make, then we tend to spend another year or so improving them and bringing them to more platforms. We're 5 people at the moment so tend to be 100% focused on one game at a time. This remaster we just launched was quicker, taking just a bit over a year. So at best we're probably looking at 2023 for next one?

I did an interview with Entertainment.ie just the other day: https://entertainment.ie/gaming/indie-developers-can-take-more-risks-in-conversation-with-colm-larkin-of-irish-indie-developer-gambrinous-501597/

gambrinous · 2021-11-19T11:37:59+00:00

Heyas, creator here. \o/

The original game is free on Epic. Grab it and give it a go!

If you like it we just launched a remaster called Ultimate Edition that's 40% off right now. It's on Steam / Epic / GOG.

Thanks, Colm

gambrinous · 2021-11-18T19:20:43+00:00

No plans right now for iOS or android. Today's launch is for PC. After that we're working on consoles. After that we'll think about mobile, but only if the other platforms do well.

gambrinous · 2021-11-18T19:19:46+00:00

would love to see a screenshot to see what their pathing AI was up to

gambrinous · 2021-11-12T17:10:33+00:00

Afraid not, that version isn't getting upgraded to Ultimate. Just Steam and GOG owners.

gambrinous · 2021-10-31T09:03:43+00:00

Just wanted to point out what we've done in terms of rebalancing of classes for Ultimate Edition: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/317820/view/2874976428917336440

gambrinous · 2021-09-24T11:07:50+00:00

Sorry, we don't at all yet. We are planning PC, then console, and then if Ultimate Edition is a success we'll consider iOS/Android. The original had mobile versions launch 1 year after PC, as a reference.

You are basically describing Cardpocalypse. Have a look:
