For those that can’t get enough of throwback first-person shooters, Fulqrum Publishing and developer Terminist Arcade have their upcoming sci-fi horror title HYPERVIOLENT on the way to very shortly. The gloriously violent old-school shooter will arrive in Early Access on April 6 via Steam, the Epic Games Store and GOG.com.
A mix of 3D environments and 2D sprites inspired by the likes of Build Engine classics like Duke Nukem 3D and Blood, HYPERVIOLENT sees players stranded on Commodus Asteroid 27-C, a remote asteroid-based mining colony. Unfortunately for you, you’ve also found yourself in the midst of an outbreak of violence among the colony’s inhabitants. You’ve got to find the source of the madness that’s engulfed the colony, all the while trying to stay alive.
Luckily, you’ve got a whole selection of weapons at your disposal with nearly endless combinations of dual-wielding that will quickly paint things red in the claustrophobic hallways. However, you’re not Doomguy, so you’ll have to be smart when it comes to managing your resources, as well as keep an eye out for potential ambushes by the numerous enemies lurking the halls.
Terminist Arcade’s plan for HYPERVIOLENT‘s Early Access is to gradually grow the number of available levels in the game, as well as adding new weapons, enemies, bosses and other features. Eventually, the full release will include Multiplayer support for up to 30 players, alongside a variety of other game modes. Currently, the Early Access version includes the first five levels (approximately 4-5 hours of gameplay), and 12 weapons as to turn the ten enemy types and two bosses to paste.
