Devlog #08: Enhance your Roguelike Runs with Blessings & Traits

Hey Hellsweepers!

The questions on our Discord and Twitter haven't escaped us: "When's the next demo?" For those eager for another VR roguelike hell-ride post our 2021 alpha, or those who missed the chance, stay tuned – good news is coming!

But before that, we need to dive into some key strategies. Last devlog covered the Hellhound, your trusty ally. But survival in Hellsweeper VR requires more than just companionship. At the core of every strategic build is choosing the right Blessings and Traits!

[h3]So, you’re wondering… what are Blessings and Traits? Watch our Devlog video here!

Blessings are rare boons that you can pick up along the way. You get to choose one out of the choices presented to you, and these blessings will stay with you until the end of the run, or when you die



An example: Spectral Infusing. Summoning a weapon will grant it a randomly attached element, and your weapon will have additional effects in combat.



You can have multiple blessings, but pick them wisely!

Traits are buffs that can be applied to abilities and weapons that are in your arsenal. Think skills/weapons on steroids.

Traits can also be changed up each run, so you can try something new every time!

Here’s a fun one: Triple Lasers. You can summon up to three lasers at once: exactly what it says on the label.



[h3]So while we’re on the topic of Blessings… here’s something you’ll want to take note of: A Hellsweeper VR Demo will be available to play soon! [/h3]

This upcoming PCVR demo will offer an array of new content, including the thrilling addition of our Hellhound. We’re working really hard to put the final pieces together, and we’re really excited to get this out to you soon and hear your feedback!
