More about Hala

A cave full of monsters, room by room

Hala (Swedish håla: hollow, den, cave) is a colourful low-poly RPG. Step through a portal, fight your way through the rooms of a dungeon and meet the boss at its end. Every dungeon is new.

The hero fights a barbarian in a torch-lit room

Clear the room, the door opens

Walk with W A S D, attack with E. Melee, ranged or magic: each beats one style and loses to another.

  • Dodge, leap, surge and a special attack
  • A fireball for crowds, a pull to drag them together
  • Prayers that shield you from one style
The hero faces Skarn the Bone Huntsman behind a row of pillars

Bosses with their own tricks

Each dungeon ends with a boss. Skarn the Bone Huntsman aims his Hamstring Bolt: hide behind a pillar, or press X at the right moment to interrupt him and stun him.

Arrows rain down on red circles, bones fly: learn the signs and step aside.
