HillbillyHellfire centers around a grizzled hillbilly named Skeeter who mysteriously gets visited by an angel and has been given the task of defending sacred relics from waves of demonic creatures. To help him with his mission, he is granted a heavenly handgun, as well as the ability to summon and control divine defense units. He must keep the artifact safe and push back the hellish threat.

Deploy a wide range of divine turrets, including large cannons that deal area damage to high-powered guns that take out enemies at long ranges. You'll also take part in the defense as you shoot down incoming enemies scouting various entry points around an open map. Travel across multiple US states and protect their relics from harm, facing different battle scenarios and layouts.

Recapture the souls of fallen enemies that you will use to power up your handgun, purchase health restorations, and upgrade your turrets to prepare for the next wave. Now, as of this writing, the game is not available yet and there is no specific release date either. You will have to wait a while longer if you're interested in checking it out.

Intriguing and promising

Overall, HillbillyHellfire is an intriguing tower defense game that offers a compelling gameplay loop that combines tactics with real-time action shooting.
