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.

"Hellsweeper VR came about from our desire to improve on what made our first game, Sairento VR, a huge hit with fans. We wanted to build upon a core tenet of Sairento - an intense no holds barred locomotion system that offered wall-running, power-sliding, backflips and more - all while improving its arcade-style action with semi realistic physics, allowing you to pull off even crazier moves. Juggle enemies in the air. Lop off a limb and use it as a club. Land on an enemy and use them as a bloody surfboard - yes, you read that right."

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.

Hellsweeper VR is coming to Meta Quest 2 and PC (SteamVR) in Q3 2022.
