Rogue Snail, the Brazilian independent studio behind this year’s acclaimed ARPG Hell Clock, launched today Relic Hunters Legend, the long-awaited looter-shooter RPG on PC (Steam) and Xbox, bringing the game to its final 1.0 release after years of development, community support, and overcoming major challenges.
Originally conceived as a free-to-play live service title, Relic Hunters Legend underwent a major transformation following the closure of the studio’s original publishing partner. The team made the bold decision to remove all microtransactions, remove the always-online requirement, and fully redesign the game as a premium experience – staying true to the game’s original creative vision and the community that helped build it.
Players can now purchase the game for $23.99 USD for the standard version, or the Complete Edition for $39.99 USD, which includes exclusive cosmetics, the full original soundtrack, and the complete comic book (Steam PC only).
The game now features 30+ hours of voiced story, a colorful cast of Hunters, hundreds of collectible items, and a handcrafted endgame for players seeking depth and build mastery. It’s the studio’s most ambitious game to date, arriving with the heart and polish of a team that never gave up.

A Story of Resilience, Community, and Loot
Relic Hunters Legend is Rogue Snail’s most ambitious RPG project to date, combining chaotic, fast-paced shooter gameplay with robust character builds and looting mechanics. Made by the same passionate team behind Hell Clock, the game honors its Brazilian indie roots and global fanbase with heartfelt storytelling, unique characters, and a vibrant art style that masks surprising depth.
Over the past several years, Relic Hunters Legend has gone through many iterations and its journey has been anything but easy. The loss of its publisher could have ended development, but instead, Rogue Snail chose to rebuild the game, keeping what players loved and fixing what didn’t work.
Even through setbacks and with no budget, the Rogue Snail team stayed committed to the community, carefully listening to Early Access feedback to improve combat balance, progression, and technical performance. Today’s launch is the result of that collaboration: a vibrant, chaotic looter shooter-RPG with heart, humor, and tons of loot.
“We made a promise to our players – to finish the story, fix the problems, and make something we could all be proud of. We’re a small team, but we’ve poured everything we have into this launch, against all odds. We hope you love it as much as we do.”
— Mark Venturelli, Creative Director at Rogue Snail
