Warriors!
It's been very busy 8 months for Hyperstrange after the ELDERBORN launch. We've pushed two content updates, lots of fixes, and heavily re-balanced the game based on your feedback. We've redesigned some core combat mechanics seeing that there's a high demand for it among you. We're happy to see that our work has made the players enjoy the game even more, and now we can enjoy a nearly 90% positive review count on Steam.
This has been a great boost to our confidence, and the successful launch allowed us to expand as a studio. Here's what's new with Hyperstrange!
CROSSBOW: Bloodnight - new hunt begins!
CROSSBOW: Bloodnight, is our small but polished, and fine-tuned arena shooter in the vein of our own all-time favorite score-attack FPS, Devil Daggers. It has you slaughtering monsters with an arcane mechanical crossbow that doubles for a machine gun, shotgun, granade launcher, and even an aerial attack holy mortar. The game is available for only $2 in the special launch promo that lasts until Thursday, 9AM PST. It's a steal - but if you need more reason to try it, it was recommended by both Civvie11 and GmanLives (both featured in the reviews section). See a gameplay clip.
What made us make such a game (apart form the obvious - blasting demons with a magic crossbow is cool!)? Are you familiar with the term "boomer shooter"? It describes a throwback, retro-styled FPS following the footsteps of such great classics as Quake, Duke 3D, or Blood. With all the 80s and 90s pop-culture references in ELDERBORN, it's safe to say we've earned all the boomer-cred we need for our But what about shooter-cred? Grab CROSSBOW: Bloodnight and find out how Hyperstrange handles a first-person shooter. This is quite important because of...
POSTAL: Brain Damaged
ELDERBORN made some heads turn. Some of these heads, were the heads in charge of Running With Scissors, the notorious studio of maniacs behind the POSTAL series. You might have heard this already, if not - let us break the news. Hyperstrange is working on POSTAL: Brain Damaged, a boomer shooter spin-off to the series that has pushed the limits of what video games can get away with.
POSTAL: Brain Damaged is planned to launch sometime in late 2021, but we'll be very grateful if you wishlist & follow it on Steam, so you can stay in the loop.
We would like to take this opportunity to once again invite you to our Discord Server, so we can talk to you directly about ELDERBORN, and all the other Hyperstrange projects.
Thank you for your continued support, and enjoy the hunt - now in two Hyperstrange games!
