Devlog #04: Guns, guns and GUNS!

Hello Hellsweepers!



Hope you're ready to load up, because this month we're showcasing an entire line up of guns ready for you to fire away!

Guns have different effects based on the way it is held, from armor breaking bullets to ricocheting shots. They can also be modded and upgraded in the Shop as you progress through your runs! Like all weapons, they can become elemental and can be infused with magic.






Any one gun you are looking forward to bringing with you in Hell? Or are you still favoring a more...hands on approach ;)?

Devlog #03: Unarmed and Dangerous



Hello Hellsweepers!

It has been awhile, but we are back! Hope you are ready to toss away those weapons, because we're going to be showing you the potential of your very own fists.

While unarmed, you can build up the strength of your fisticuffs by continuously engaging in melee combat. You will eventually be able to send them flying with a single punch.





You can also infuse your hands with elements and utilize magic to its full potential. We will be touching more on elemental combat later on, so keep your eyes peeled ;)





Are you excited to become an elemental, fist firing Monk? We'd love to hear your thoughts!

Mastering the Axe and More Updates!



Hey Hellsweepers!

We hope everyone had their fill with Hellsweeper VR’s Alpha Demo! The team is now at work improving and implementing mechanics based on your suggestions. As we mentioned, we will be showcasing our progress to let everyone know what’s cooking in the oven.

[h2]Axe Carnage[/h2]

In Hellsweeper VR, one of the core objectives is to gain mastery of a wide range of weapons and elemental magic. That's why "skills and abilities'' will be a regular part of our dev updates.

Let's begin the series with a weapon that wasn't available during our Alpha Demo - The Axe.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

The Axe is a melee weapon which has two forms, and can be swapped on the fly, allowing you to adapt according to the situation. Its default, two sided form is quicker and reacts faster, whereas its second one sided form does more damage and range at the cost of speed.

Butcher your enemies with a forceful swing.

Throw the whole thing if you've got a good aim and retrieve it using telekinesis.

Or unleash blade waves like a boomerang.

We’ve also started working on the soundtrack to match the fast-paced, beat dropping gameplay of Hellsweeper VR! We’re currently testing a new mechanic that triggers a more intense version of the battle music when you’re able to maintain a solid combo streak.

[h2]Flexible Reload Mechanics[/h2]

Some of you brought up that it’s quite challenging to manually reload the gun especially during the heat of battle. While we’re keeping this mechanic in the game, we’re introducing an easier way to reload.



You can acquire and equip an “Auto-Reload” trait. Summoning bullets will no longer be mandatory, and you are free to fire away as much as you like.

We’re curious - Do you prefer manual or automatic reloading?

[h3]More Sneak Peeks[/h3]
We’ll continue to showcase our dev progress regularly so watch out for more updates soon. What would you like to see in our next post?

Hellsweeper VR’s full release is scheduled for Q3 2022.
