Escape from EloHell turns competitive ranking into a strategy roguelike
Escape from EloHell is a strategy roguelike about climbing the ranks of competitive online games.
Players start at Iron 4 and have 60 matches to reach Challenger, the top rank, before the season resets.
They gain MMR, the points used to measure rank, only by winning matches.
Players also take risks based on whether they think they can win, with the aim of earning effects that help later.
The game draws on the frustrations of competitive play, including losing progress just before a promotion.
In one player's first season, they finished at Bronze 3 with 48 wins and 12 losses.
On later runs, they eventually reached Silver 1, but did not reach Challenger.
