Rhell: Warped Worlds & Troubled Times has arrived on PC, offering a Paper Mario-esque blend of puzzle combat and quirky RPG systems. Players collect 40 magical runes and layer them together to create unique abilities — the developers tout an astronomically large number of possible combinations, even if many end up feeling similar.

  • Rune-based spellcraft: 40 collectible runes can be combined in many permutations to build custom offensive, defensive, and utility effects.
  • Massive combination claim: The studio highlights a very large total of theoretical spell permutations, though practical overlap means not every entry will play distinctly.
  • Paper Mario vibes: Combat and presentation lean into colourful, paper-inspired visuals and puzzle-focused encounters.
  • Trailer tone: Promotional footage leans into sarcasm and charm, and includes stylised, narrow-aspect landscapes that give it a retro postcard look.

For players who enjoy tinkering with loadouts and experimenting with oddball synergies, Rhell promises plenty of room to toy with spellcraft without needing to memorise a hundred million distinct builds. The PC release puts these tools in players' hands now.
