Press release:
From HYPERSTRANGE, the developers of POSTAL: Brain Damaged and ELDERBORN comes “CROSSBOW: Bloodnight“, a frantic score-attack arena shooter set in a world of camp horror and gore. Hunt. Die. Hunt again!
Fluid movement, versatile weapon, global leaderboards – a small, neat package of challenging fun wrapped up in bat giblets, warewolf fur, and twitching tentacles. Available next week at your default digital video games vendor, for a crazy-low price!
CROSSBOW: Bloodnight is a frantic score-attack arena shooter that takes the brilliant Devil Daggers concept and puts it in a detailed gothic horror, Painkiller-esque setting. The small game comes from Hyperstrange, the developer of gamer-acclaimed first-person slasher, ELDERBORN, that has recently partnered-up with industry legend Running With Scissors to develop POSTAL: Brain Damaged, a boomercore shooter POSTAL spin-off.
“We’re all about fluid movement and fast-paced shooting” – says Przemyslaw Milinski, the studio co-founder.
“Our ELDERBORN was a melee-only game, so we wanted to put an actual FPS out there. CROSSBOW: Bloodnight is our way of saying ‘hi!’ to the boomer shooter fans, and we’re practically giving it away to make sure we get to as many of them as we can!”
CROSSBOW: Bloodnight launches to Steam on September 24, priced at $1.99 with the 33% launch-week discount (regular price: $2.99). The game is headed to consoles later this year, and will be brought to Nintendo Switch first.
About Hyperstrange:
HYPERSTRANGE is an independent game development and publishing studio based in Warsaw, Poland, founded on the day of the 2015 Solar Eclipse. Its debut title – ELDERBORN – brought about a whole new level of brutal FPP melee combat in 2020. Drawing inspiration from heavy metal, 90s pulp pop culture, and classic boomer shooters, the loud and proud studio strives to make everyone’s gaming life a little stranger.
