Fulqrum Publishing has announced that its old-school sci-fi horror FPS, HYPERVIOLENT, will be fully released on September 23rd. The game has been in Early Access since April 2023. This means that it took the devs over two years to reach their final version. To celebrate it, the publisher shared a new trailer that you can find below.
HYPERVIOLENT is inspired by classic 90s sprite-based 3D games. Players are trapped on Commodus Asteroid 27-C, a mining base that has fallen into chaos. Surrounded by terrifying monsters, you’ll have to fight to survive while searching for the truth behind the madness. Deep inside the dark, tight mines of the asteroid, dangerous secrets are waiting to be uncovered.
The game gives you tons of guns and melee weapons, and you can even hold two at once in almost endless combos. If you like close combat, you can kick, punch, or even grab a severed arm and use it as a weapon! But don’t think you’re unstoppable. Resources are limited, and enemies can surprise you at any time. Staying alert is the only way to survive.
But HYPERVIOLENT isn’t just about shooting and fighting. The game also has a story hidden in the background. As you explore, you’ll find data logs on computers or even on fallen enemies. These logs slowly reveal what happened on the I.E.C. Commodus. The creepy atmosphere and dark sci-fi setting make every discovery feel even scarier, letting the environment itself help tell the story.
With version 1.0, HYPERVIOLENT expands into a full experience. Players can explore 14 different areas, collect and use 22 weapons, and face off against 19 unique enemies and 5 powerful bosses. The game also introduces exciting new mechanics. You can pilot your own spaceship through the narrow halls of a space station, or use special tools like the Neurotether Device, which lets you take control of enemies for a short time.
For what it’s worth, the game has Mostly Positive Reviews on Steam right now. It also has really low PC requirements. The devs recommend an Intel i7-7700 with 16GB of RAM and an Nvidia GTX 1660. So, it should run smoothly on a wide range of PC systems.
Enjoy!
