Jigokuraku: BATTLE IN HELL'S PARADISE, the survival RPG based on the hit dark-shonen anime, has finally made the jump West. Developer and publisher Good Smile Company launched the game's English Worlds on Android and iOS on July 1, 2026, and rolled out a brand-new Steam version on the same day — the game's first official PC release, playable in both English and Japanese.
For a title that has, until now, largely lived in its Japanese ecosystem, this is a meaningful expansion. The English Worlds are dedicated servers for Western players, and the simultaneous Steam launch means the game is no longer phone-only — a rarity for anime gacha adaptations that tend to trickle onto PC much later, if at all.
A survival RPG built on the anime
Battle in Hell's Paradise retells the story of the TV anime — the tale of the condemned ninja Gabimaru and the executioner Sagiri as they navigate the deadly island of Shinsenkyo in search of the elixir of immortality. The game leans hard into its source material with full voice acting and battle animations supervised by MAPPA, the studio behind the anime, so fights carry the same visual punch fans expect.
Beyond faithfully adapting the anime, the English version bundles in original Ally stories, alternate event scenarios and exclusive new characters, giving even players who know the show reasons to keep pulling. Co-op play rounds out the package for those who want to tackle the island's horrors alongside friends.
Cross-platform progress from day one
The standout feature for the launch is cross-platform data linking: the Steam version syncs directly with the mobile edition, so you can grind on your phone during a commute and pick up on PC at home without losing a step. It's the kind of quality-of-life feature that keeps a live-service game sticky, and it's baked in from launch rather than promised for “later.”
As a free-to-play survival RPG with a strong anime pedigree and a genuinely welcome PC option, Battle in Hell's Paradise arrives at a good time for Western gacha fans looking for something with real teeth. If you've been following Gabimaru's grim trek through Shinsenkyo, the island is now open on whatever screen you prefer.
