Hellmaster

Introduction

Hellmaster is a fantasy trading card game with RPG elements, set in the 9 circles of hell, utilizing the Immutable X blockchain for its economy and asset management.

It is free-to-play, available on PC and mobile, and currently in open beta with a full release planned for Q4 2025. The lore centers on players becoming the Hellmaster by conquering hell’s circles with mythological hero decks.

Lore

Hellmaster’s lore is set in the 9 circles of hell, directly inspired by Dante’s Divine Comedy, where players assume the role of a mythological hero tasked with conquering these infernal realms. The game’s world features dark, hellish visuals with cards representing demons, heroes, and mythical entities, emphasizing themes of redemption, conquest, and strategy.

While specific story arcs are not detailed, the setting focuses on tactical battles within a fantastical interpretation of Dante’s Inferno. Visual motifs include dark, infernal landscapes and mythological card designs.

Gameplay

Hellmaster’s core objective is to conquer the 9 circles of hell through strategic card battles, with progression tied to leveling up heroes, acquiring new cards, and advancing through the circles. Players build and upgrade decks featuring mythological heroes to outsmart opponents in tactical gameplay, likely involving turn-based or real-time strategy.

Game modes include competitive PvP tournaments and potentially PvE campaigns, with a $100K tournament series announced for July 23, 2025. For example, players can compete in these tournaments to earn significant rewards.

• Deck-building mechanics allow strategic card combinations.
• AI-powered gameplay enhances tactical decision-making.
• Competitive PvP tournaments offer structured esports integration.

Economy

Hellmaster’s economy revolves around the $DANTE token, used for accessing special events, competing in battles, unlocking rewards, and purchasing unique items. Players can stake $DANTE to earn rewards like in-game assets, keys, shards, and exclusive tournament access.

A buy-back and burn mechanism uses profits to repurchase and burn tokens, potentially increasing their value. In-game assets, such as heroes and items, are tradeable on a marketplace, supporting the game’s circular economy across the Dante Games ecosystem. The Token Generation Event for $DANTE is set for July 22, 2025.

Hellmaster operates on a circular, win-to-earn economy centered around the $DANTE token and in-game assets. Players convert $DANTE into Souls for Battle Arena entry and earn Shards in gameplay to obtain Keys, consumables, or NFT packs.

Web2 players can experience full gameplay without wallet setup; Web3 features enhance access to NFTs, Keys, and token utilities without being mandatory.

• Souls & Shards flow: $DANTE is spent to buy Souls for PvP; Shards earned in modes can be redeemed for Keys or packs.
• Keys for tournaments: Keys—acquired via Shards or $DANTE staking—grant access to weekend and seasonal tournaments with USDT and ecosystem rewards.
• Token sinks and governance: An Ecosystem Pool recycles inflows (marketplace fees, entry fees, staking) to fund player rewards, staking returns, referrals, and treasury buybacks, with no new $DANTE minted post-TGE.
