Evaluation

Arms of God launched into Early Access on June 8, 2026. The developer — primarily one person, Dominik, now with additional team members — has maintained a high cadence of updates since launch, shipping patches, hotfixes, and major content additions. On July 3, 2026, a detailed public roadmap was published outlining the path to version 1.0. The Q3 2026 content centered on Endless Mode, and that content shipped on August 7, 2026 as "The Endless Ascent" update — introducing 15 new levels, a new boss (the Rector), a global leaderboard system, and Endless Mode. A major balance and optimization patch (v0.6) followed on August 29, 2026. The most recent developer communication, dated September 19, 2026 (today), confirms the next major update is planned for October 21, 2026. This update will introduce a brand-new location built around the new Curses mechanic, Torment difficulty, a new boss, and a new enemy. The developer explicitly states: "There is still a lot more planned for Arms of God, and I am definitely not stopping work on the game." The same post also notes the game was migrated to Unreal Engine 5.8 and is being showcased at Tokyo Game Show. Substantial content remains on the published roadmap. Q4 2026 is planned to deliver a new game mode, additional playable Templar heroes, new elite enemies and a boss, new gameplay mechanics (Training Ground, Seals, Marketplace, Brotherhood Contracts), and another side story campaign. The full 1.0 release is targeted for Q1 or Q2 2027 and is planned to include Act 5 (15 new locations and a boss), 4th Tier Weapons/Blessings/Upgrades, console launches on Nintendo Switch, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, and Supporter Pack updates. Local co-op is listed as a longer-term goal beyond 1.0. The developer is communicating frequently, shipping content on schedule, and has clearly articulated what remains to be built before the game reaches its full release.

About this game

Gear up for a battle through hell in this roguelite Bullet Heaven Arena Autoshooter with Doom-inspired gore vibes, metal music, and a satisfying combat feel. Wield five weapons at once, upgrade and merge them to forge indestructible builds, and bring divine justice to a world on the brink of chaos.

Fire ranged and melee weapons simultaneously using up to 5 sacred 'arms'. As you face hordes of demons, you gain strength - sanctify your weapons and use mechanical arms to fulfill God's will upon the mortal realm and save it from the infernal conflagration.

In Arms of God every enemy type you encounter is a unique challenge. Each creature possesses distinct skills, attack patterns, and behaviors, making every battle a test of strategy and skill. Adapt your tactics, learn from each confrontation, and prove your mastery over the infernal legions.

Choose from 60 unique weapons - both ranged and melee - and learn ruthless ways to upgrade and merge several of them into a single monstrosity, creating builds so powerful they erase demon hordes and towering bosses back into the abyss. Mix weapons with upgrades to forge even more surprising combinations and uncover hidden synergies.

Begin your crusade by reclaiming the Order's headquarters - The Cathedral - from the clutches of demonic forces. Once liberated, this sacred bastion becomes your strategic hub for meta-progression. Hone your skills in the Training Ground to enhance your meta-stats, forge mighty weapons in the Armory, boost your in-game abilities in the Alchemy Chamber, and summon new valiant heroes from the Bell Tower.

Choose from among 10 different heroes, each with distinct abilities reshaping gameplay. Level up, evolve your character through meta-progression, and forge your path to the deepest abyss of hell, where you shall confront the ultimate infernal force. Fight through 75 handcrafted levels set across unique locations, each telling fragments of the story through the world itself - ruins, relics, and the scars of the apocalypse revealing the truth behind the fall of mankind.

Features:

  • Upgrade and merge weapons to forge indestructible builds and seek creative combinations for maximum power.

  • Battle through 75 levels across unique locations, with different enemies types and epic bosses.

  • Play as one of 10 characters, each with distinct abilities reshaping gameplay.

  • Hand-sculpted 3D characters; visually captivating game with dark and hellish stylized art.

  • Single-player game

  • Runs great on Steam Deck

  • Perfect for playing with just one hand

  • Engaging yet relaxing auto-shooter experience.

  • Made by a solo developer.
