Old-school Sci-fi Horror FPS HYPERVIOLENT Blasts Onto PC on September 23rd!
nfoPRINCE and Terminist Arcade's old-school shooter is set to leave Early Access this month during Boomstock 2025!
Prague, Czech Republic – September 16, 2025 - Fulqrum Publishing, nfoPRINCE, and Terminist Arcade have great news for old-school First Person Shooter and Immersive Sim fans everywhere, as their gloriously gory shooter HYPERVIOLENT is locked and loaded and ready to leave Early Access, with its 1.0 launch hitting PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG.com on September 23rd, 2025. HYPERVIOLENT's full release arrives as part of Boomstock 2025, Fulqrum Publishing's annual Steam festival of boomer shooters and retro-inspired FPS games.
Inspired by classic sprite-based 3D games from the 90s, HYPERVIOLENT sees players stranded on Commodus Asteroid 27-C, a remote asteroid-based mining outpost clenched in the jaws of violence. Alone and surrounded by monstrous denizens of the space station, they must push their survival skills to the very limit, obliterating their foes as they seek an answer to the madness engulfing the colony, and uncover the secrets of the evil hidden deep within the dark, claustrophobic mines of the asteroid.
The game features an extensive array of guns and melee weapons that can be dual-wielded in nearly endless combinations. And if you prefer a more hands-on approach, you can also kick, punch, or even grab a severed arm and swing it like a mace - giving hand-to-hand combat a disturbingly literal twist. However, players are far from invincible action heroes, careful resource management and a keen eye are paramount to survival, for enemies can - and will - ambush them when they least expect it.
But it isn't all kills and thrills. HYPERVIOLENT also features an engaging narrative that is interwoven through the game, as players uncover the fate of the I.E.C. Commodus through data logs found throughout the station - from computer terminals to the remains of their fallen enemies. And as you piece together what happened aboard Commodus, the oppressive, horror-soaked atmosphere and dystopian sci-fi setting make each discovery feel all the more disturbing, letting the environment tell its own part of the story.
With version 1.0, HYPERVIOLENT offers 14 areas to explore and a total of 22 weapons to use on 19 distinct enemies and 5 terrifying bosses. The game also introduces unique mechanics, including piloting your own spaceship through narrow corridors of the space station, or using powerful tools like the Neurotether Device, allowing direct control of enemies for a limited time via a neural implant.
What's more, the full game will be available not only in English, but players will be able to enjoy it localized with subtitles in German, French, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, and Russian as well.
Features:
Gorgeous 3D / Pixel Hybrid
Explore the rich environments of the I.E.C. Commodus station and paint them with viscera, rendered in a combination of classic low-poly 3D, hand-crafted pixel art, and uniquely rich lighting.
Intense horror atmosphere
Feel the dread of exploring the dark entrails of a recently operational but now dead asteroid station, light-years from rescue. Something has gone wrong - but no one is left to explain. No backup. No signal. Just you, the darkness, and whatever still moves in it.
Brutal combat
Dual-wield most of the 22 unique ranged and melee weapons to obliterate insane and monstrous enemies. But don't get cocky - manage your resources, dismantle spare armaments for parts, and repair your gear. You don't want to be caught empty-handed in a bossfight.
RPG / FPS mechanics
Manage your inventory, upgrade weapons, & peruse through computer data logs to further your mission in this exciting, authentically nostalgic experience.
Use the environment to your advantage
Operate switches, terminals, and keycard systems to unlock paths, disable hazards, and progress through the station's sprawling corridors.
Six Degrees of Violence
Employ numerous methods of dispatching your enemies, commandeer heavy-duty mine equipment, and even fly a fully functional spacecraft in nostalgic Six Degrees of Freedom combat.
HYPERVIOLENT is available right now in Early Access via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG.com and will be celebrating its 1.0 launch on September 23rd, 2025!
