Brutal, old-school, sci-fi horror FPS, HYPERVIOLENT hits PC Early Access on April 6

HYPERVIOLENT - Early Access Release Date Announcement Trailer

 

Inspired by classic sprite-based 3D games from the 90s, HYPERVIOLENT sees players stranded on Commodus Asteroid 27-C, a remote asteroid-based mining colony clenched in the jaws of violence. Stranded and surrounded by monstrous foes, they must take the violence to the next level, obliterating their foes as they seek an answer to the madness engulfing the colony, and uncover the secrets of the evil hidden deep within the dark, claustrophobic mines of the asteroid.

 

HYPERVIOLENT features an extensive array of guns and melee weapons that can be dual-wielded in nearly endless combinations. However, players are far from an invincible action hero; careful resource management and a keen eye are paramount to survival, for enemies can - and will - ambush them when they least expect it.

 

During the Early Access period, HYPERVIOLENT’s single-player campaign will grow, adding segments featuring completely different gameplay experiences, and upon full release, the game will introduce Multiplayer support for up to 30 players alongside a variety of thrilling game modes.

At launch players can experience the first five intensely, atmospheric levels (approximately 4-5 hours of gameplay), and wield 12 weapons as they take on ten varied enemy types and two challenging boss encounters.
