Survive, Collect, Craft, Trade with Players, and Perfect your Dream Build. Delve into dream worlds to face your past Visions from lingering nightmares stuck to the back of your brain. Collect over 350 Visions and possess them as your own friends to help you become more powerful as you jump from the Lucid World to the Dream World. Earn experience, loot, materials, and other unlocks that will stay with you permanently in the Lucid World. In your Dreams, gain new and powerful boons to temporarily help you erase any Visions in your way. In the Lucid World, craft new items and materials for use in your Dreams, or trade them with other players worldwide in the Bazaar. Create custom loadouts to tackle the variety of challenges that can be encountered in three activity modes with a range of difficulties. In Horde Runs, survive waves of Visions as they close in on your position. In Extraction Lairs, you will explore randomly generated dungeons filled with a healthy amount of plunder. To escape with all you've collected, you will need to find the exit and defeat the Final Vision. In Invasion Zones, a never-ending supply of Visions will rain down upon you relentlessly as you try to catch falling loot and duck danger. The Visions you encounter can be turned into your own personal pets called Casters, fighting besides you with their own stats, perks, and utility. If you cannot get the perfect god roll, craft your own with materials or browse the Bazaar for other players' listings. hellamental is free-to-play, has no ads, no Wi-Fi required, and no restrictions on the the amount of time you can play. ## Key features - Collect over 350 unique creatures (Visions) - Craft items and materials - Trade with players worldwide - Survive Horde Runs, Extraction Lairs, and Invasion Zones - Customize loadouts for challenges - Permanent progression in Lucid World - Temporary boons in Dream World ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Stimulant | $3.99 | one-time | | 500 Memories | $1.99 | one-time | | 200 Memories | $0.99 | one-time | | 2,500 Memories | $5.99 | one-time | | 1,000 Memories | $2.99 | one-time | ## What do users think of hellamental?

Im using an iphone 16 pro max ### 1/5 — game does not work *2026-01-20, version 1.18* game literally does not work. You can not play. All of the reviews are bots. ### 5/5 — Wild *2026-01-20, version 1.18* Cool game ### 1/5 — Bugged *2026-01-15, version 1.18* I literally can’t play, I am able to go out of bounds, the squids don’t move, I don’t fire anything, my loadout on the main screen exits the second I click it, and if I take damage once I can’t take damage again. Literally nothing happens over the course of 10 minutes. There is no way to get a caster without spending money. It looks fun but I am unable to play it and won’t until things are fixed. ### 3/5 — Solid foundation *2025-12-24, version 1.18* Not a bad find on the app store. Lot of positives, but I do have some minor complaints. Positives: easy to pick up and mess around, good crafting system, easy to unlock multiple game modes to try everything. Complaints: crafting EXP is going to take way too long to reach even the second or third tier of rarity let alone the fourth rarity, sometimes game modes show that they count toward a daily task and they don't, sometimes enemies just won't be targeted even though they're the only one on the screen, the search function isn't bad but I'd love multiple filters like element and rarity simultaneously. Otherwise, solid foundation of a game. With a little polish, will happily change this to 4-5 stars. ### 1/5 — Ai slop *2025-10-10, version 1.18* This is clearly ai vibe coded slop, it didnt even function ### 1/5 — Unplayable slop *2025-09-11, version 1.18* Every single positive review you see for this game is a bot, you can’t actually play this game, sure you can load in, move your little guy around, look at the enemies, but for a vampire survivors clone you can’t even shoot. This game says it a rouge lite meaning each time you “fight” you get stronger right? Not with this one because you can’t fight to begin with. Looter though? No fighting means no loot, so it’s this cycle of loading the first level, waiting 5 minutes while nothing happens, and then an infinite enraged state where more enemies spawn, but don’t do anything. And shooter, you have no loadout when you start, you cannot open the loadout menu, you have nothing in your inventory, you cannot shoot, you cannot loot, you cannot roguelite. ### 5/5 — Unique and inventive *2025-08-25, version 1.18* I wish there was more community. Also there is a blade bug that crashes ### 5/5 — KEEP DEVELOPING THIS! *2025-08-18, version 1.18* I been looking for fundamentally different takes on the “bullet heaven”/survivor genre. This is one of them. The UI and UX combined with the lack of simple explanation for… anything… make it feel cold and alien. I really dig it, and it feels thoroughly unique. I _love_ just how different the game plays from others in the genre; there’s nothing close to it that I’ve found, and this excites me. Its onboarding process is a bit “0-to-60-in-10-seconds”, which I’m pleased with because I like From Software games, but it might be frustrating for the broader demographic of people. But man, I really really dig this game; I hope you guys keep developing this. You should be proud of what you’ve created. … Will this be developed further, like additional content? I have a loadout of Cosmics and Unreals and nothing can stop me. Excited for more! ## Frequently asked questions about hellamental ### What is hellamental? hellamental is a free-to-play game where players explore dream worlds, collect creatures called Visions, and use them as pets called Casters.

Range will now consider the edges of the Vision's body FIXES -Optimized some per-frame math calculations to ease CPU load -Optimized in-game HUD to ease CPU load ### 1.21 — 2026-01-31 -Fixed crash that could occur during Caster recharge -Fixed crash that could occur when swapping to a different Caster in-game -Fixed issue where Final Vision could spawn with a much lower-than-intended amount of health -Fixed issue where projectiles created from FX that added additional shots would not be cleaned up properly, causing memory leak and performance degradation over time ### 1.20 — 2026-01-30 USER FEEDBACK VERSION Thank you for all of the feedback over the past months. I have been working on suggestions and bug fixes that were brought up in the past few weeks. This update fixes most of the issues you may have experienced, and has incorporated most of the gameplay feedback to bring more FUN. -Extraction Mode map creation logic much more robust and random now, and fixed issue where Boss room may not be accessible -When clearing an Extraction room, all loot will travel to the player position. If it cannot be picked up at that time, it can be picked up if the player traverses back (i.e. Energy drops when at max, or Chests without a Transient Key) -Accepted Duties can now be abandoned by swiping them left from the Duties screen -Casters with Closest Target priority will now always look for closer Visions instead of getting tunnel vision hellamental has a ton of Casters and random abilities, so it’s important to put those in your hands. The following changes should result in more Casters and being able to craft your own Casters, FX Imprints, and Implants at a far higher rate. -Reduced crafting costs across the board -Doubled the rate of Transient Key and Chest drops -Non-gem crafting materials drop 2x as much -Mementos (for crafting Casters) drop 5x as much UI -The Implant Install screen is bigger now FIXES -Fixed issue where Bosses and Miniboss loot drop magnetism would send loot that couldn’t be picked up by the player to Timbuktu -Fixed issue where installing an Implant on a Caster with an existing Implant could result in loss of both Implants -Fixed issue where Implant Slot #2 was not available for Casters with Lv. 20 Proficiency -Adjusted Resurrection timing to resolve an issue where the player would not be in the state of resurrection and take damage within a single frame, causing hard lock or instant death. -Duties for surviving X amount of minutes are now limited to Horde Mode -Fixed issue where listers would be overcharged for listing Implants and FX Imprints on the Bazaar -Fixed issue where the first tap of a Caster in the Inventory screen would pull up the first Caster in Inventory instead. No, you were not going crazy. ### 1.19 — 2026-01-28 This update addresses an issue where users without iCloud enabled or a full iCloud could not play. When iCloud is non-operational, a local save will be created. Players without iCloud cannot participate with trade with other players. If, in the future, a player enables iCloud, or creates free space in iCloud, the game will use iCloud and the local save will be isolated. Local save data cannot be transferred to a cloud save, and vice versa. Casters, Memories, Materials, Implants, and FX Imprints are isolated between save types. All other progress is persisted between local and cloud saves. In the event of a local save and cloud save, users will need to disable or enable iCloud depending on which save they’d like to use. This will be made more accessible in a future update. I strongly discourage toggling iCloud on and off unless absolutely necessary due to potential for incomplete syncs, which could result in data loss! BALANCE -Resurrecting now knocks Visions back very far -When Big and Specialized Casters are unequipped, they will begin a slowed recharge process similar to Basic Casters when they expended shots. An equitable portion of energy will be used depending on how much the Caster needed to be recharged to full. FIXES -Players can resurrect in Horde Mode after defeating the Final Vision and dying -Fixed several memory leaks -Optimized some math -Scroll performance on Level Information screens improved -When crafting a material, upon completion the listing of materials is immediately updated with new counts ### 1.18 — 2025-04-29 BALANCE In the early game, specifically the time after reaching higher difficulty levels and still finding or crafting more powerful Casters & build crafting, Visions had too much HP. The problem would be exacerbated by level modifiers that could occur in some levels such as doubling Vision HP on top of that. Elite Visions, Miniboss Visions, and Final Boss Visions had HP multipliers that would stack to create too much of a wall for progressing players. In harder levels with more abundant Elite Visions, this was a problem. The following adjustments have been made: -Reduced Elite Vision HP by over 50% depending on game mode -Reduced Miniboss Vision HP by over 30% depending on game mode -Reduced Final Boss HP by over 25% depending on game mode ## Apps similar to hellamental | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Bella Wants Blood – Horror TD](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/bella-wants-blood-horror-td/id6736395308) | 4.8 (288) | Free | Games | | [Idle Chest](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/idle-chest/id6744372975) | 4.5 (106) | Free | Games | | [Gold Mountain](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/gold-mountain/id1224899725) | 4.3 (135) | Free | Games | | [Pixel Wizard: Dungeon Survivor](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/pixel-wizard-dungeon-survivor/id6453850650) | 4.0 (8) | Free | Games | | [MageTrain](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/magetrain/id6479560703) | 3.1 (7) | Free | Games | | [Phantom Tower](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/phantom-tower/id6745515425) | 4.6 (115) | Free | Games | ## More apps by Coast Media House LLC - [phobium - Pinball Action](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/phobium-pinball-action/id1384165504) - [KOZMONAUT](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/kozmonaut/id1489101856) - [Lowlife](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/lowlife/id1616987231) - [JumpSnip](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/jumpsnip/id6741828577) - [Configurine: Custom PC Builder](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/configurine-custom-pc-builder/id6757331474) All apps by Coast Media House LLC: https://appshunter.io/developer/1384165503 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
