Press release:
Prague, Czech Republic – April 6, 2023.
Fulqrum Publishing and Terminist Arcade are thrilled to announce that “HYPERVIOLENT“, the gloriously violent, retro FPS launches into Early Access today via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG.com.
Inspired by classic 90s sprite-based shooters, HYPERVIOLENT strands players on a remote asteroid-based mining colony where an ancient evil is awakened by man’s excessive lust for power. Using an extensive array of weapons players must submit their inner-aggression; blasting and chopping their way through hordes of monstrous foes as they unravel a bloodsoaked, cosmic horror mystery.
Nearly endless gun and melee combinations entice players to take their VIOLENCE to the next level, however, careful resource management and a keen eye are key to survival, for enemies can – and will – ambush them when they least expect it.
At Early Access launch players can experience the first five levels loaded with tense sci-fi horror action; taking on ten varied enemy types and two demanding boss battles in brutal first-person combat, using 12 different weapons. As the Early Access campaign progresses, HYPERVIOLENT’s single-player will expand to add completely different gameplay experiences, and upon full release, the game will introduce Multiplayer support alongside various thrilling game modes.
The current Early Access roadmap can be found here.
HYPERVIOLENT FEATURES:
Gorgeous 3D / Pixel Hybrid Explore the rich environments of the I.E.C. Commodus station and paint them with viscera, rendered in a combination of classic low-poly 3D, and hand-crafted 1990s pixel art aesthetic.
Intense horror atmosphere Feel the dread of exploring the dark, claustrophobic corridors of an asteroid mine, stranded deep in space. Nobody can help you. Nobody can save you. Nobody can hear you scream.
Brutal combat Dual-wield more than 20 unique ranged and melee weapons to obliterate insane and monstrous enemies, but don’t get cocky – manage your resources because you don’t want to run out of ammo in a bossfight…
RPG / FPS mechanics Manage your inventory, upgrade weapons, interact with NPCs, & peruse through computer data logs to further your mission in this exciting, authentically nostalgic experience.
Use the environment to your advantage Utilise switches, computer terminals, keycards & other control mechanisms to navigate the labyrinthian station and manipulate your environment.
