Proof that the remaining 10% is worth being trapped in the void for eternity:

These are recommendations made by Tropers for Helltaker, all of which have been signed. After a few samples, you will be able to judge whether you might be interested in the 'fic, based on who recommended it. No-name recommendations will have their pancakes eaten. Nobody would back up the rec. Discussion of the recommendation is welcome on the discussion page. As such discussion is important, do remember to add the discussion page to the watchlist, if need be.

Do warn when a fanfic may head into non-canon territory. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, Shipping is Serious Business.

     General Fics 
Stories focused on the family and the friendly relationships of the cast. Plot-focused stories or light day-in-the-life stories. Pretty much anything that isn't focused on romance.

It's a Brand New Day by MangoMandems
  • Recommended by: Queen-Roger
  • Status: Complete
  • Synopsis: We all know the legend of the Helltaker, but what happened to them a few years after they began living together? Can they continue living together? Can the Helltaker keep everyone together? This is my personal, wholesome spin on what I believe to have happened to the demon household three years after the events of the game. They will be some romance, some tears and some pancakes
  • Pairing(s): None.

Mistakes, Madness and More by Another face in the crowd
  • Recommended by: DestinyPlayer
  • Status: Ongoing
  • Synopsis: You have 99 problems and Cerberus is only about 10 of them, which paints a horrifying picture on how destructive the other girls are. You don't think your sanity, blood pressure, or wallet can take much more. Comedic drabbles that revolve around the Helltaker cast. You have an idea you want to see? Leave a review, and I'll do my best to write it. Nothing too lewd of course.
  • Pairing(s): None, technically.
  • Tags: Family Fluff, Like seriously they're exactly like a family, Helltaker is a good father figure, Helltaker is just lonely, He just wants the best for his girls
  • Comments: A series of comedic snippets that range from hilarious, to surprisingly emotional, to badass. I've reread it at least five times by now and still can't get enough.


Helltaker - Pantheons
  • Reccommended by: RaynForce58
  • Status: Ongoing
  • Synopsis: There are been angels, demons, Heaven and Hell which God created from nothing. But there are also gods and monsters scattered across the universe with their own legends, heroes, powers and ideals that co-exist with one another. Join the Helltaker and the harem as they trek across the mythologies of the world on this new amazing adventure!

Helltake Me Home
  • Recommended by: Prinnyramza
  • Status: Ongoing
  • Synopsis: This isn't The Helltakers first time around the block, he's got the offspring to prove it. Said offspring returns home from college to find his room, and most of the house, taken over by demonesses that are all apparently banging his dad. The first impressions could have gone better, admittedly.

     Crossover Fics 
Stories which mix elements from two different worlds.

Hell, Sweet Hell: The Untouched by Yesmar1020
  • Recommended by: Tropers/bf2234
  • Crossover with: My Hero Academia
  • Status: Discontinued, rewrite ongoing
  • Synopsis: Izuku Midoriya had committed a lifetime of sins. This fact surprised those who first met him, as he appeared to be a living saint. But he had lied, idolized a man as a god early in his life, and even had premarital sex. How scandalous. Of course, all sins are met with punishment, and his was an eternity in Hell… making sure the place ran properly. This is the story of how he became the greatest hero, from a certain point of view.
  • Comments: Pure insanity as the nicest cinnamon roll of anime accidentally finds himself in Hell (that's what you get when you take a shorcut, apparently) and makes his way through the Nine Circles of Hell and the demon girls that rule it with his innocent charm, his intelligence and his force of will. Hell will never be the same.
    • bf2234: By far one of the fluffiest stories out there with plenty of heartwarming interactions between Izuku and the demon girls. That being said, the author stated that they felt like Izuku was too much of a Gary Stu in that story given that he managed to walk through Hell without much consequence, but I digress since Izuku's Incorruptible Pure Pureness was among the factors that made it enjoyable. Nevertheless, I look forward to the rewrite's success!
  • Pairings: Izuku/That would be telling
  • Notes: Has a tropes page here

Custodytaker by Internet_XxxPl0r3rxxX

  • Recommended by: JKDead
  • Crossover with: Epithet Erased
  • Status: Ongoing
  • Synopsis: Molly Blyndeff has to take a three-hour bus ride to personally deliver an unusually large shipment of chew toys. It turns out the order was placed by an old friend of her deceased mother's... and his harem of literal demons. Surprisingly, they turn out to be a better family than the one Molly is stuck with.
  • Comments: A bizarre crossover elevated by excellent writing. Molly's interactions with "Uncle Heck" and his girlfriends are consistently either adorable or absolutely hilarious.

    Fan Games 
Full-fledged games based on the series, with varying content.

The Second Circle by Team 133
  • Recommended by: the Ace Of Scarabs
  • Status: In development, currently at version 0.4 with playable demo
  • Genre: Visual Novel
  • Trailer: Link Here (Youtube)
  • Synopsis: Date the delightful demons (and angel) from the indie game Helltaker in this charming fan game and tribute to the original work. We here at Team 133 are super excited to bring this demo back out to the public after an extra month in development hell.
  • Comments: This fangame boasts faithful-to-canon artwork and strong characterization, and fleshes out some of the Helltaker's daily life after he manages to get the whole crew of sharply-dressed demon girls crashing out at his place.


Hecataker by Warugaki
  • Status: Complete
  • Crossover with: Touhou Project
  • Genre: Puzzle
  • Synopsis: A recreation of Helltaker, but with Reisen Udongein Inaba replacing the titular Helltaker and with other Touhou characters replacing the demon girls. Mainly the ones from Touhou Kanjuden ~ Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom.
  • Comments: A much shorter game with much more simple puzzles, but if you're aware of Warugaki, then you should expect some craziness from the man himself. For those new to the doujin maker, well...let's say you're in for a ride.
