'Hellsweeper VR' Reveals Co-op Mode With Cross-Play Support - Screens & Trailer

Hellsweeper VR is a rogue-like first-person combat game that offers an intense VR experience into the underworld where brutal combat and gravity-defying movements are at its core.

Hellsweeper VR is a roguelike first person combat game where you take on the role of an undead immortal. Traverse the underworld where every step brings a challenge or a chance. Gain mastery of your weapons and elemental magic, or fall to the unrelenting onslaught of dark creatures. Keep upgrading and enjoy unlimited replayability as you lay waste to the scumbags of hell as an undead immortal.

Combat is a core feature of Hellsweeper VR. At the most basic level, you can summon and wield various tools of destruction. Cleave through an undead horde with a claymore. Snipe down flying foes from a distance with an antique rifle. Turn a foe into a pincushion by summoning a salvo of piercing ice shards. Group enemies together with a gravitational vortex.

Advanced players however, can also adeptly combine both to greater effect. Enchant an ordinary battle-axe into a frost-imbued one, allowing you to chill an enemy on hit. Transmute an arrow with fire, turning it into an explosive projectile. Merge flame and ice to channel a beam of pure arcane energy, cutting through swathes of minions with ease.

Upgrade and customize your skills, and experiment with unique variations of abilities to discover what being a Hellsweeper really means to you.

You have absolute control over your mobility across the battlefield. Clever players will use the environments to their advantage, wallrunning past a heavily controlled area or aerial dashing to weave in and out of engagement range. Threats come in all shapes and sizes.


During today’s Future Games Show, publisher Vertigo Games and the creators of Sairento VR debuted a brand-new trailer for Hellsweeper VR, showcasing intense new co-op action.

Starting from the game’s launch, two players can join forces and descend into hell to slay twisted souls, teaming up for explosive VR combat. Execute shared combos and devise unique strategies alongside your fellow warrior to destroy your enemies.

The co-op trailer for Hellsweeper VR provides an exciting glimpse into the game’s forsaken world, where players team up to fight against the forces of darkness:

The co-op mode offers a full roguelike experience with a blend of strategic gameplay and RNG (randomized elements). Each player receives unique blessings, boons, and weapons, ensuring every playthrough offers different challenges and opportunities

  • Rogue-like mode: Fight rounds with various objectives, to end on a final boss fight. Get rewarded with loot and progress, upgrade your character, weapons or Hellhound
  • Cross-Play Support: Thanks to cross-play support, it's as easy as ever to play with your friends. No matter which VR platform they are using. 

Key Features:

  • Intense Limitless Movement - Move with supernatural speed and precision, leaping, sliding, and dashing through the teeming hordes of abominations.
  • Master Your Combat Style - Every Hellsweeper is a unique entity. Wield weapons with deadly precision, command the forces of telekinesis, and unleash unimaginable powers to eviscerate your foes.
  • Faithful Hellhound Companion - Amid the ceaseless chaos, find solace in the silent loyalty of your hellhound, a faithful companion on your nightmarish journey.
  • Survive in Various Game Modes - including Roguelike mode, Tower mode, and Sandbox mode. The torment of Hell comes in many forms. Venture alone into the abyss or stand alongside fellow Hellsweepers in co-op mode.
  • Content-Rich Experience with High Replayability - Hell is vast and infinitely changeable. With each venture, uncover new horrors and trials, fostering a sinfully rich experience that beckons your return, time and again.
