Helltaker is a free Indie Game made by �ukasz "vanripper" Piskorz. It follows the exploits of the Helltaker, a man who looks like an Expy of Johnny Bravo as he decides to visit Fire and Brimstone Hell so he can assemble a harem of demon girls via a series of block puzzles and chocolate pancakes. It takes itself about as seriously as one would expect.Learn more about the cast here. Watch the game's trailer on YouTube here. Check out the supplementary comics here. Tropes relating to the web comics should go on its own page.It got a free expansion on the game's first anniversary called Examtaker, telling a future story of a demon created by the Science Demon Loremaster to do experiments upon.Not to be confused with Hellsinker.WARNING! Due to the short length and fast pace of the game if played knowing what you're doing, spoilers relating to everything besides the secret ending and Examtaker will be left unmarked. | |

A Form You Are Comfortable With | |
| Helltaker (Video Game) / int_106f1a77 | comment |
The secret ending is accessed by moving in a certain pattern on the pentagram rug in the Epilogue (the pattern being revealed in the pause menu by collecting tablet fragments hidden under certain blocks in Chapters IV, V, and VI), which opens a portal to the Abyss, where Beelzebub is trapped. Going through it will trap the Helltaker as well, but Beelzebub assumes A Form You Are Comfortable With and they live Happily Ever After, with Beelzebub speculating on the nature of the story, whether she's recounting it to an amnesiac Helltaker or if she merely came up with it herself due to going insane from the isolation. | |

Unexpected Gameplay Change | |
| Helltaker (Video Game) / int_1467a30c | comment |
Unexpected Gameplay Change: After an entire game of Block Puzzles, Chapter X has no puzzle elements whatsoever, instead requiring you to dodge a series of attacks while destroying the massive chains that occasionally attach themselves to the arena. | |

| Helltaker (Video Game) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Slightly. Most of the original's humor is kept in the DLC, though it does away with the harem building and puts you in the shoes of an angry human-demon hybrid who must survive the tests of a Mad Scientist in her lab. Plus, the full story reveals that Azazel has taken over Hell some time in the future, rechristening herself as the Loremaster and reducing Justice and Lucifer to being her servants. | |

Multiple Endings | |
| Helltaker (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: The bad endings are all examples of a Nonstandard Game Over and are reached by saying the wrong thing to most of the demon girls, who then murder you for various reasons. One bad ending is hidden in the Hint System for Chapter VI: after listening to Zdrada and Malina bicker, the Helltaker can commit suicide to escape the noise. At the end of Chapter VI, trying to hit on Azazel by saying that you're looking for angels has her misunderstand and take the Helltaker to Heaven, meaning he's forced to give up assembling a demonic harem. The normal ending is achieved by playing the game normally and speaking to the police at the end of the Playable Epilogue to deal with whatever legal trouble Cerberus got themselves into. The secret ending is accessed by moving in a certain pattern on the pentagram rug in the Epilogue (the pattern being revealed in the pause menu by collecting tablet fragments hidden under certain blocks in Chapters IV, V, and VI), which opens a portal to the Abyss, where Beelzebub is trapped. Going through it will trap the Helltaker as well, but Beelzebub assumes A Form You Are Comfortable With and they live Happily Ever After, with Beelzebub speculating on the nature of the story, whether she's recounting it to an amnesiac Helltaker or if she merely came up with it herself due to going insane from the isolation. | |

| Helltaker (Video Game) / int_26eb6287 | comment |
Funny Background Event: In the pancake recipe comic, there is a kitchen knife that happens to be laying on the counter. After the Helltaker accidentally splatters Lucifer with pancake batter, she grabs it and stabs him in the shoulder with it over the next few panels, but you're likely too focused on the text and the pancakes being cooked to notice until the Helltaker is suddenly shirtless with bandages over his chest. | |

Bilingual Bonus: There's a few words in Polish throughout the game, due to the creator being Polish himself. "Zdrada" means betrayal in Polish, and "Malina" means raspberry. The latter also holds a bottle with a Polish label saying "pure vodka" in the epilogue. | |

Number of the Beast: When Loremaster calls the protagonist Subject 666, she starts having high hopes as she considers such a number to mean great power. When Lucifer informs her that 666 had already died and that the subject is actually 667, Loremaster becomes less enthusiastic in 667 succeeding. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: By the Epilogue, the Helltaker learns that having a harem of demon girls does not stop them from constantly misbehaving, bossing him around, wrecking his stuff, and stabbing him in the back (oftentimes literally). Beelzebub says that since life is already full of suffering, he may as well enjoy himself sometimes. | |

| Helltaker (Video Game) / int_6f090aab | comment |
Hades Shaded: Most of the characters in the game (i.e., everybody besides Judgement, the Skeletons, and the black cop) have a sunburned red skin color, fitting for a game taking place in Hell. Later content in the comics implies this was caused by hanging around in dimly-lit locations, such as Hell itself or Earth at nighttime, since in the comics that take place in more properly-lit locations, everybody besides the aforementioned differently colored characters change to having a Caucasian-esque skin-tone, and even in Judgement's case she becomes a lighter shade of grey. | |

Excuse Plot: The entire story is that a man decided to obtain a demonic harem, and so he descended into Hell to achieve that. What's more, the game never actually implies that he had any romance with any of them (except possibly Modeus and Beelzebub), instead just coming to have them as odd roommates. | |

Animation Bump | |
| Helltaker (Video Game) / int_7ea2a915 | comment |
Animation Bump: Most of the full-body views of the demons are just portraits that switch between each other. However, there are a few cases of actual animation: When the player reaches Lucifer, she swirls her wine in her hand before her skeleton guards appear, before slowly looking at the protagonist. Judgement makes her entrance by thrusting her arms into view, before making fists and swiping them and the screen down to reveal herself. In the epilogue, Zdrada gets a short animation in which she tries to light up a cigarette. During Beelzebub's secret ending where she takes on A Form You Are Comfortable With, she exhibits a Furry Reminder by taking a towel and wiping sweat off her hands and forehead. | |

All for Nothing | |
| Helltaker (Video Game) / int_aed65980 | comment |
All for Nothing: Overall, the only characters that even seem romantically interested in the Helltaker are Modeus, given she's the only harem member hugging Helltaker in the ending slide, and Beelzebub, since she blushes and expresses a bit of joy when Helltaker offers her pancakes. The rest of the girls never actually seem to view the Helltaker as a romantic partner, and Azazel is implied to be a lesbian who is only interested in 'studying' the Demons. Though the fact that Helltaker still keeps them around implies that he's quite happy with having friends, so this trope isn't as bad as it could be. Though Examtaker would reveal that Lucifier is still carrying a torch for him despite his disappearance, so it could just be her being a Tsundere. Subverted in one of the latest comics Given what Azazel, Modeus and Pandemonica were doing to him, it's safe to say there's no chastity involved here, even if the 'Taker doesn't seem exactly enthused by what they are doing to him. | |

Be Careful What You Wish For | |
| Helltaker (Video Game) / int_b06bbf4b | comment |
Be Careful What You Wish For: The Helltaker certainly does gather a harem of cute demon girls, but it's not at all clear how much he actually gets to enjoy it, as they're all quite troublesome to take care of and handle (which is not surprising given, you know, demons). One shot even has the Helltaker getting stabbed in the shoulder. The final screenshot of the game suggests that there are good times, though. This is somewhat alleviated by the fact that Vanripper has since been posting comics showing what the Helltaker and the girls have been up to since the events of the game. Highlights include Malina and the Helltaker introducing Azazel to Heroes 3, Cerberus explaining to the Helltaker the logistics having three bodies for one mind and the potential consequences of getting caught in a pleasure loop by indulging with all three simultaneously, and the Helltaker asking Lucifer what the deal is with demons and goat motifs only for her explain then troll him by shapeshifting into a goat before suggesting men love it. | |

Brutal Bonus Level | |
| Helltaker (Video Game) / int_be3e7584 | comment |
Brutal Bonus Level: The bonus chapter alternates between standard block puzzles and timing-based segments. For the latter, you have unlimited moves and less block-shuffling to do, but have to dodge lasers that fire periodically. The Final Boss fight is a lot busier as well, as its third phase can have up to three types of attacks overlapping each other. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| Helltaker (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: The first part of Chapter X has nothing trying to attack the Helltaker once he reaches the large chains, and the two chains that the Helltaker has to kick down are directly across from each other. This is to let the player figure out what they have to do without putting them in too much danger. Similarly, the final boss of the Examtaker levels creates a checkpoint after registering each hit. And since Examtaker as a whole is much harder, it eliminates the Marathon Boss sensation. | |

Cute Monster Girl | |
| Helltaker (Video Game) / int_d9e946ae | comment |
Cute Monster Girl: All of the demons are fairly attractive women with horns and tails, with the exception of Cerberus, who is instead one soul inhabiting a trio of Little Bit Beastly bodies with dog ears and tails, and Beelzebub, a massive fly-like Animalistic Abomination until the secret ending. | |

All Just a Dream | |
| Helltaker (Video Game) / int_ea85d6ea | comment |
All Just a Dream: A double-layered one; the beginning seems to imply that the events of the game, as seen in a dream, would go on to inspire the Helltaker to go on and cause the events of the game. The secret ending implies that the entire story could have just been made up by Beelzebub due to going insane from drifting on through space by herself. | |

Did You Just Romance Cthulhu?: Played with. The Helltaker is a normal human man who ventures into Hell and manages to convince several demons (including Lucifer herself) to join his harem. However, most of them don't consider him a romantic partner. | |
