I tried a weird experiment in my game Hellbridge — every wishlist adds +1 enemy to the final wave

In my game about defending a city from an army of darkness, I decided to let players influence the FINAL battle.

Right now people have already added +752 enemies… and it’s starting to feel like things might get out of control 😅

Steam page if you're curious: Hellbridge

Do you think this was a terrible idea?

Hellbridge - Dex Games Studio - dark fantasy horde survival where every wishlist makes the final wave harder

Hi r/Games!

I’m back with an update on Hellbridge — a dark fantasy horde survival game where a lone mage defends the last bridge between the living world and Hell.

Recently I added artifacts and hidden character roles that change your entire playstyle depending on your build.

But the more interesting part is something we decided to try:

Every wishlist adds +1 enemy to the final wave.

No cap, no rollback — whatever number we reach, that’s what goes into the game.

Since my last Indie Sunday post, you’ve already added +574 enemies (734 total) to the final wave… and I’m honestly not sure it was a good idea 😅

Right now the final battle is getting a bit out of control.

If you feel like making things worse 😅:

Curious what you think — especially if this is a terrible idea or not 😄
