Greetings, warriors of Jur’mum!

Today we’re adding localisations for Bulgarian, Estonian, Turkish, Ukrainian, Slovak and Icelandic As with the previous patch, we’ve used AI based tools, they may contain mistranslations, but we still believe that it is something that might help you dive into the game. As with the previous experimental implementation, let us know if these are to your liking! To make sure we don't miss any of your voices, we are keeping a separate channel on our Discord, Elderborn-Localisations. There we encourage you to share your thoughts and any mistranslations that you come across. As in the previous update, we vow to fix all the things that you bring to us. You can find the dedicated discord channel here: https://discord.gg/hyperstrange-494562943204327435 Let’s also quickly reiterate on what was already said previously regarding some questions: Q: Why aren't we using professional translators? A: We actively work with many translators. ELDERBORN's budget didn't account for other translations. Q: Are we planning to replace our translators with AI tools? A: Absolutely not. Using these tools is to aid in these cases where our resources are limited.

Hyperstrange's Massacre Before Christmas Publisher Sale

Everyone celebrates Christmas their own way: some find joy in baking pies... and smashing heads of anyone who disturbs their holiday spirit. Others care for their holiday tree like it’s sacred, keeping it perfectly watered.

Making sure that there are proper presents! So come join us under our Hyperstrange Tree - it might be a little early, a little blood-soaked, and a lot chaotic, but the wicked gifts are already there, waiting for you. We named this event The Hyperstrange's Massacre Before Christmas and it’s ready to deliver gifts of death-n-glory and gore-packed fun! Allow us to invite you to ZlimBratSki’s stream, where he’ll explain everything!

Gather round, mighty barbarians! We’re roaring with excitement that ELDERBORN is still surrounded by such a loyal horde, and that you keep returning to our savage Heavy Metal slasher. From this point, we’d also like to give a loud, thunderous welcome to all the new fearless warriors, eager to become merciless slayers and venture into this brutal world to crush skulls and carve their place in history as badass legends. But let’s put down our spears and hammers for a sec, because we’ve got some news for you today. We've been hearing your requests to add new languages to ELDERBORN for a while now. Ever since they first came in, we’ve been wanting to meet those expectations and make sure players who speak these languages can fully immerse themselves in the game. However, there are some limitations. Some of you suggested that we try using AI tools to bring in these translations, even if just temporarily. After much deliberation, we decided to give this a try, and that’s why we’ve decided to go with this experimental solution. Today we’re adding localisations for Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese, and Korean. As we’ve used AI based tools, they may contain mistranslations, yet we trust it’s still something that might help you dive into the game. This is why we're treating this as an experimental implementation, and we're counting on your feedback in this matter. To make sure we don't miss any of your voices, we've prepared a separate channel on our Discord, Elderborn-Localisations, where we'd love to hear your thoughts on this solution and whether the translations are helpful for you. Feel free to let us know if anything seems off, so we can fix it. Here’s the direct link: https://discord.gg/5MhMjcuT Several expected questions we can address right away: Q: Why aren't we using professional translators? A: We actively work with many translators. ELDERBORN's budget didn't account for other translations. Q: Are we planning to replace our translators with AI tools? A: Absolutely not. Using these tools is to aid in these cases where our resources are limited. We appreciate your feedback to the specified Discord channel so we can make sure everyone’s heard. Thanks to you, we keep crushing it and pushing forward.

Hyperstrangers!

Dreamhack Beyond is right around the corner, Dudes, and you guessed it - we are in it! However, this bit of news isn’t just about that. While you are keeping up with all news related to ELDERBORN, we would like to showcase other things we have been cooking for your gaming pleasure! But, but, but... before these beauties will be ready to be injected into your veins, you gotta follow and wishlist. It makes the algorithm gods happy and jolts our developers’ hearts with joyful exuberance - whatever that means.

CosmoPirates

Space, the final frontier, a place devoid of the tight-ass bureaucracy. A place where a man can cruise in their Fiat 126p, lick batteries, and be a self-made cosmonaut! Unless you get raided by pirates, poisoned by a hot-dog from an unlicensed food-shuttle or scammed by Kovalsky at the spaceship dealer. CosmoPirates takes card battling, deck building to the final frontier of cartoonish comedy. Pimp-out your ride, gather your crew, and take out the cringeworthy overlord. Be wary tho, for there always must be a Cringe lord - and on your journey you might just become one.

Wishlist & Follow

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2466240/CosmoPirates/

NecroGolf

There are some things that simply go great together although you wouldn’t think so: potatoes and pizza, mayo and ketchup or Zombies and Golf! That’s right! There is nothing more riveting than trying to land a perfect birdie with a horde of the ravenous undead breathing down your neck. In NecroGolf, an arcade golf simulator with RPG elements and zombies, you can put your precision golfing to the test. NecroGolf releases in less than a month, on September 15th, so make sure to wishlist it, grab your clubs and get in your golf cart, for in this zombie apocalypse, there is only golf.

77p egg: Eggwife

If you are in for even more Hyperstrangeness, then embark in 77p egg: Eggwife on a quest whose crude, gory, toilet-humor can only be rivaled by games such as Postal 2, Duke 3D, or Goat Simulator. Master your bodily functions to perform such feats as poop-jumping and employ a wide range of "UK-Legal'' weapons such as the Applicator, Crossbowner and Stigmatic 77,000! Does this masterpiece have a story? Yes, and a relatable one at that. Building a stable relationship isn’t that easy and our protagonist will need your help on his quest to find a new wife! Unless he gets lost in the grocery aisle again.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1317020/77p_egg_Eggwife/

EMPTY SHELL

Let’s step down from the joyful sensory overload of the above mentioned games to something a little bit different. Something less strange and definitely more hyper. In Empty Shell, a top-down roguelite survival horror, you will get thrown into a secret facility on a Japanese island. Having signed a contract which stated only one condition “recover the designated target”, you will soon learn why it is so important to read the fine print. During each run, you will try to get the “volunteer” through the facility while dealing with limited visibility, dwindling supplies and whatever is out there, stalking and hunting you throughout the randomized maze of tight-corridors.

Wishlist the game! If you can't wait to play, we have a prologue waiting for you!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2243110/EMPTY_SHELL/

Strategic Mind: Spirit of Liberty

If you are peckish and looking for something more crunchy to stimulate your strategic mind, then look no further than Spirit of Liberty, a hardcore, turn-based, historically accurate strategy game set in WWII. Master the intricacies of the game’s systems to keep your units supplied and armed with the best equipment and dismantle enemy forces through combined-arms tactics and help from your cabinet of generals.

Do you have what it takes? Check out the limited time demo today and wishlist the game not to miss the launch that is happening later this month!

Hordes of Hunger is a fast-paced action arena slasher with roguelite elements set in the dark fantasy setting of Ismer. A land engulfed by the living hunger, the cosmic horror known only as the Beast. You are the unlucky one still living inside the nightmare and the only way out is through it.

Hyperstrangers!

It is that time of the year again. Boomercon is upon us! Or Realms Deep 2022, if you will. We've had six announcements this year, so let's jump into it without further ado. This serves just as a summary - more detailed posts will be popping up on appropriate game pages within a day or two. Let's go!

INCISION - Early Acces launch + Special Offers!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1734680/INCISION/ Check out our nevest, explosive release! INCISION is a rare gem - a very retro-looking, unforgiving throwback shooter, that's so full of wonderfully-executed ideas, that it feels fresh and juicy. That is if you like your juice in the taste of rust, rot, and horror. The game launched on the day of Realms Deep main event - 16 September, and is already gaining a lot of praise from the players on Steam. If you like games such as DUSK, you can't afford to miss INCISION. And speaking of DUSK - DUSK owners get extra 15% off the price that's been already lowered by 15% in the release week. Similar discount applies for owners of Nightmare Reaper and Hedon, with even more bundles on the way! Get your tetanus shot, and plunge into the horror now!

POSTAL: Brain Damaged - Horde Mode announcement

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1359980/POSTAL_Brain_Damaged/ POSTAL: Brain Damaged has already gotten a small balancing update. Now, on September 19 it's getting another one. Much more substantial - it should help a lot with the balance between exploration and combat, thanks to the new ammo mechanics. Wait, that's not what you just saw in the video above? That's very perceptive! November 10 will mark the release of the Horde Mode in POSTAL: Brain Damaged, so you can spend even more time with the Brain Damaged Dude!

Blood West - Chapter 2 announcement

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1587130/Blood_West Your favorite eerie wild west stealth-shooter with a bit of a immersive sim aftertaste has exceeded our initial expectations as to the reception and popularity. In wake of such success the Blood West team has been expanded, and the project was granted an extended development schedule, to deliver more content than it was originally intended. The second out of 3 chapters in the story of the Revenant Gunslinger will hit Steam on Halloween, and you'll be getting a map that's 1.5 larger and tighter packed with events and NPCs then the first one.

Supplice - release date announcement

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1693280/Supplice/ According to some sources, Supplice is the best-looking game in the entire Hyperstrange catalog. Well, beauty takes time! We've hold off making the announcement of the release date, to make sure Mekworx team has enough time to work their magic. Now, we're happy to announce the date you've been dying to know: 30 march 2023!

77p Egg: Eggwife - new game announcement

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1317020/77p_egg_Eggwife/ We fell in love with Eggwife after first seeing it in the Realms Deep 2021 showcase. Now, after we've released POSTAL: Brain Damaged it's perfectly clear, that the audience wants us to take things a step further. Or a lot of steps further. To go so far, that we'll end up in UK. Eggwife is what would happen if the Brits came up with POSTAL, but... it's so much more. An immersive sim? A dating sim? A shopping cart driver sim? You name it! Maybe just go wishlist it, and get the Demo for you to plau

GHOSTWARE: Arena of the Dead - new game announcement

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1893370/GHOSTWARE_Arena_of_the_Dead/ We strive to bring overlooked, original titles to a broader audience. Sometimes originality isn't apparent at face value. What seems like an arena shooter with retro stylings happens to become a whole sprawling world full of adventure and danger. You can find out for yourself just what makes Ghostware so unique that it found its way to our hearts. We'e not sure of the release date yet with this one, but we do highly encourage you to wishlist it and take the available demo for a spin. And that's that. We'll be happy to hear your thoughts on our Hyperstrange Discord, steam forums, and clay tablets. Thank you for being a part of the Hyperstrange crowd, and Stay Metal!

Your's truly,

POSTAL: Brain Damaged - Connoisseur Edition (OST & Art Book bundle!) + upcoming updates!

Hyperstrange friends, RWS fam!

Hyperstrange-developed POSTAL: Brain Damaged, the action-packed DOOM Eternal-like spin-off of the POSTAL series is finally here, and if you own any of the eligible RWS or Hyperstrange titles, or some other staple throwback-shooters like DUSK, Hedon, or Nightmare Reaper, you can get PBD with an additional discount added on top of -20% release discount via one of the special bundle deals. Plus, we're happy to report it really SLAPS! With more than 1100 reviews it currently enjoys an 'Overwhelmingly Positive' rating, with more than 95% players recommending the game. https://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/38371631/18684ae3b765836c7dde86fa69ffe2737dfcac06.gif Yes, Hyperstrange really pulled this one off. The game is good and the release has been relatively bug-free despite the 2-week delay made explicitly to implement some bugs and stay on-brand. But it wouldn't be a POSTAL release if something haven't gone wrong. Many of you were waiting for the release of the POSTAL: Brain Damaged Official Soundtrack. The wait is finally over! The OST has arrived, and you can get it separately or bundled with the official Art Book in the POSTAL: Brain Damaged - Connoisseur Edition.

UPCOMING UPDATES

The Hyperstrange Dev team is very grateful for the amazing reception of PBD. This gives them even more motivation to improve and expand the game post-release. Here's what to expect soon:

Post-release fix - an update taking care of the known issues reported by the players, that slipped into the full release (ETA: One week)
Balancing update - some players, as well as some internet micro-celebrities, have brought to our attention that the game offers way to much ammo if you explore the levels 'Quake-style', and far too little if you prefer to push on 'Doom Eternal-style'. The update will take care of that issue, allowing everyone to enjoy the game in their preferred playstyle. The update will also reconfigure some of the enemy positioning, spawns, and behavior. (ETA: One month)
New playmodes - With that taken care of, the dev team will proceed to expanding the game itself, introducing an oft-requested horde mode, as well as another playmode offering a new, and replayable PBD experience. (ETA: This summer)
More to be announced!

Hyperstrange and RWS are both extremely pleased with the reception of POSTAL: Brain Damaged. We're as excited as you are, to see what the future will bring to this explosive and twisted spin-off. Your true friends and family,

Hyperstrange & RWS

Blood West - our immersive stealth shooter is live on Steam. Special offer for ELDERBORN owners!

Hyperstrange friends!

We're proud to present our second full-scaled original title, Blood West, an immersive stealth shooter inspired by such classics as S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Thief, System Shock, Deus Ex, or Blood, but also hugely influenced by Crytek's excellent online title - Hunt: Showdown, while being a strictly single-player experience itself. There's a lot of ways to describe it, but it is best that you see for yourself - here's a chunky, 25-minute developer-gameplay, going through one of the first quests and showcasing some basic, and more advanced mechanics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iO6UmF0-9FU To sum up the Blood West experience in a few bulletpoints:

Blood West is not a non-stop action-focused velocity shooter. It's best taken slow, and thoughtfully, with sneaking, surveying the surroundings, planning your attacks, and going head-first into combat only when you're sure you're at an advantage.
Combat mechanics in Blood West are more complex than you might expect. Enemies have weak spots (usually the head), and can take a lot of damage before dying, unless you use their vulnerabilities.
Weapons have different stats, and usually guns that you loot from the enemies or find discarded somewhere, are old and rusty, and won't perform great. There are also different types of ammo, and some are more effective against certain enemy types than the others.
Your character - the Revenant Gunslinger - gains experience, and levels up. When that happens, you get some skill points to distribute unlocking very useful perks in the character screen. Different perk+weapon combinations allow for very different approaches to the game. Try different playstyles!

We hope you'll enjoy our newest game, a true labor of love.

Special offer for ELDERBORN players

The Hyperstrange Originals Bundle is our way to once again say thank you to all the Steam players who purchased the Hyperstrange debut title, ELDERBORN. It put us on the map and allowed us to grow, following our ambitions as a indie dev studio. Blood West is one of the effects of this pursuit. We'd like to offer all of our past supporters to check it out with a special 20% discount, that stacks with any other active discounts that may be in place. https://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/38371631/29096be1109c6802917d5d9ab6062d172641c4de.png

Thicc update & Brutal bundle

Mruqesteam_community_announcements

1707d ago

WARRIORS!

As the Autumn Steam Sale approaches, we bring you news of a long-awaited update, and we've also brought along a friend. We're teaming up with Hedon dev to bring you the Thicc & Brutal Bundle - get ELDERBORN & Hedon Bloodrite together or complete your collection for an EXTRA 20% discount. https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/23853/Thicc__Brutal/ As for the update - you should be glad to hear that it includes a complete rework of the way controllers are handled by ELDERBORN. But there's much more to it, scroll below to see the full changelog. And Hedon? You don't know Hedon? Well... take a look, and see why ELDERBORN and Hedon are a match made in... uh... Valhalla? Hell? Power Metal themepark? Yeah, one of those. You will notice that the Thicc & Brutal Bundle is not the only bundle featured on the ELDERBORN store page. Make sure to check out the Action Hyper-Pack, a collection of 3 unique Hyperstrange originals - this might be a great opportunity for you to pick up our newest title - RAYZE!

FULL CHANGELOG

Today's ELDERBORN update is the result of our steady progress towards improving the PC version of the game, while preparing it for the upcoming console launch. It's quite diverse in terms of areas that have been tinkered with. Work has been done here and there - here's a comprehensive list of changes.

MAJOR

Engine Update - the game has been migrated from UNITY 2017 to UNITY 2020, which is an "under the hood" change, that allowed us to address many issues that eluded us before.
NEW CONTROLLER HANDLING SYSTEM IMPLEMENTED: this should allow for better handling of variety of controllers; NOTE: we don't have access to all possible controllers available on market, especially not the obscure ones; IN CASE OF INPUT ISSUES, consult the settings menu - chances are, you need to set up bindings manually. If this happens (or manual binding fails/turns out impossible), please contact us.
PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS in Chapter 2 - city area should perform better now.

MEDIUM

Fixed issue of simultaneous use of weapon wheel and character sheet locking the former on screen
Player should no longer be able to accidentaly leap off the towers in chapter 2
Fixed erraneous damage calculation leading to Die Hard skill not always triggering on NG+.
Fixed incorrect achievement completion for "Ok, Boomer".

MINOR

Limited ways of moving out of bounds in chapter 2
Stalker's projectiles no longer untextured
Baths in Chapter 2 now react to hits according to materials they are made of.

Wanna know more? Please head to our publisher profile and click that FOLLOW button. You can also stay in touch with us via Twitter and there's a sprawling Discord community, we'd love you to join. That's it for today from us.

Fight well, Warriors!

Thank you for an amazing Steam Next Fest 2021, folks! We're keeping all the demos for you to play longer!

1755d ago

https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/38371631/8215daa0ebcca22bfc64465d6831bd30c2ba0ede.png As Steam Next Fest draws to a conclusion we want to thank everyone for stopping by and trying out our demos. We've had tens of thousands people playing the featured games, hundreds joining our community Discord to offer feedback, and posting on social media! Many of you have been asking "will I be able to keep playing the demo after Next Fest ends"? Steam suggests all Next Fest demos should be timed, to create a sense of urgency and make sure the players wishlist the game. But this is simply not the Hyperstrange way. We're old enough (well, some of us) to remember shareware times, when demos came on floppies and lasted forever (well, some of them). Cutting to the chase: the demos stay, at least until their respective games get released. Here's what you can play, in case you missed some of them:

RAYZE

RAYZE is a genre-defying hyper-paced music-filled first-person AIM RACER. Hit a target to accelerate. Miss and you slow down. Hit a wall and die. Find the fastest route. Get to the finish line. Simple? Yes. Easy? Hell no. Who said training to be your own aim-bot can't be fun? Welcome to your new casually hardcore obsession! The DEMO consists of the entire first sector of the game, that's 5 tracks for you to figure out and master, one bite-size FPS speedrun at a time. Achievements to unlock, global leaderboards to compete with friends and strangers... Just two more weeks until full release! Ready? 3... 2... 1... Let's RAYZE!

Blood West

BLOOD WEST, an immersive Wild West FPS where a revenant desperado takes on the twisted demons and eldritch horros in a cursed, desolate mining town. Hell is empty and all the devils are here! Plan your steps, be stealthy, gain advantage, manage your resources, and paint the world dark red! Blood West was the second most-played Hyperstrange demo in Steam Fest, and there's already many players telling us they cannot wait for the release, despite the game being brutally hard! If you missed the DEMO, you can still try, and if you like the experience of being the Revenant desperado, please remember to add the game to your wishlist!

Supplice

Supplice is a stylish throwback shooter that made a lot of people happy during the Steam Next Fest. inspired by the mid-90s FPS glory days and the legendary Doom modding community. Mixing the retro stylings of 90s era shooters with colorful graphics and frantic gameplay, it creates an experience that's ever so familiar but also exciting and fresh. The team behind the game is a real hot pot of Doom modding and FPS development legends, starting from Brett 'Mechadon' Harrell, the project founder, through Aleksander 'Cage' Kowalczyk, the lead artist also known for his work with Ion Fury, to James 'Jimmy' Paddock, the lead composer, known from his midi soundtracks to Sigil, Prodeus, and many other talents. Please check out the DEMO and follow & add the game to your wishlist if you want to stay up to date with its development.

Skullstone

Skullstone is a true to its form dungeon crawler with grid-based movement, real-time tactics combat, and first-person view. Lead a party of adventurers into the under-realm, looking for glory, gold, and a solution to the ancient evil plaguing the town above. A real stand-out in the FPS action-focused Hyperstrange catalog - why not give it some appreciation by playing the DEMO and wishlisting this pure-blooded classic RPG.

POSTAL: Brain Damaged

Last, but in no way the least in our Steam Next Fest lineup, POSTAL: Brain Damaged dominated the First-Person Shooter category, reaping the most wishlists and getting over 20 000 demo downloads. If by some strange twist of fate you're here but you don't know what is POSTAL: Brain Damaged... it's a spin-off of the Running With Scissors cult series, firmly rooted in the POSTALVERSE, but taking more gameplay cues from modern shooters such as the latest DOOM, than the fan-acclaimed POSTAL 4, the latest entry in the main series. This time around the story follows POSTAL DUDE on a journey through the dark and bizarre landscape of his own mind, which gives the developer a chance to explore new depths of weirdness, madness, and gore. The gloves are off! See for yourself - play the DEMO and make sure to hit that wishlist button hard! (Please note that as we focus on developing the game, we won't be able to update the demo, so it will reflect the state of development in September 2021, even if you play it in May 2022, when the game is getting released. Expect improvements and changes!) As we wrap-up the event, we feel immensely grateful to the wonderful Steam player community who show us so much appreciation. Please keep your feedback coming - if you have any to offer, please join our community Discord. We strive to make your live stranger and filled to the brim with good old action, and it's such a rush to see that you enjoy what we bring to your screens. That is it for today, be excellent to each other! Yours truly, https://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/38371631/0703e4c0718a8efe5be90b59356042bc0910a9e2.png

The team behind the game is a real hot pot of Doom modding and FPS development legends, starting from Brett 'Mechadon' Harrell, the project founder, through Aleksander 'Cage' Kowalczyk, the lead artist also known for his work with Ion Fury, to James 'Jimmy' Paddock, the lead composer, known from his midi soundtracks to Sigil, Prodeus, and many other talents. Please add the game to your wishlist if you want to stay up to date with its development. Skullstone is a true to its form dungeon crawler with grid-based movement, real-time tactics combat, and first-person view. Lead a party of adventurers into the under-realm, looking for glory, gold, and a solution to the ancient evil plaguing the town above. Well, adventurer? Get crawling! Or, actually, let's start by wishlisting Skullstone, so you don't miss the demo that's heading to the October Steam Next Fest.

New HOT release

Jupiter Hell is a turn-based shooter from the depths of cosmic hell, built on a classic roguelike framework updated with modern 3d graphics. Rip and tear zombies, demons, and heavy metal monstrosities with chainguns and chainsaws. Like chess... with shotguns! This spiritual successor to Doom Roguelike launched in full on August 5 to both player and media acclaim. “A Turn-Based Triumph - Jupiter Hell is an engaging and commendable recreation of DOOM's style in turn-based roguelike form that will please just about everyone.” writes Screen Rant, giving the game 4,5/5 stars, while Kotaku calls it "an absolute gem".

New gameplay reveal

POSTAL: Brain Damaged is our flagship in-development title that we create as an original IP based off the infamous POSTAL series, under the watchful eye of MikeJ, Vince Desi, and the rest of the Running With Scissors crew. First announced at Realms Deep 2020 in early pre-alpha stage, it quick became somewhat of an obsession with the POSTAL community, and there's a lot of people who have been asking, no, demanding to see some final-quality gameplay footage. That's exactly what we delivered at Realms Deep 2021... plus something extra. If you are a POSTAL fan or a general boomer-shooter enjoyer, please add Brain Damaged to your wishlist and follow the project, so you don't miss the chance to play the Demo that will be featured on Steam Next Fest this October!

Notable milestones

While Frozenheim, our serene Norse city builder with RTS combat, didn't make the cut for the already lengthy stream, there's an announcement that we're stoked to make. Today marks the 100 000 Steam purchases milestone for Frozenheim. That's one hundred thousand Vikings in our Frozen North! This is the second game in our catalog to reach the 100k player tier, following our debut title, ELDERBORN, which - as per our Realms Deep announcement is coming soon to Xbox (alongside our bite-size FPS, CROSSBOW: Bloodnight) All this is a huge step for Hyperstrange (or a whole marathon, actually), as a small indie studio with just one game published a year ago, to a... slightly larger indie studio that's becoming a hub of game development and publishing. If you're reading this - please know, that you have our utmost gratitude - we couldn't have done any of this without the tremendous support our games are receiving from the Steam community! That is it for today, be excellent to each other! Yours truly, https://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/38371631/0703e4c0718a8efe5be90b59356042bc0910a9e2.png PS. Thank you, Ty!

Because Vikings are Metal AF, too. We're proud to announce our partnership with Paranoid Interactive. We are publishing their Viking-themed strategy game, that is headed to Steam Early Access as soon as May 20, 2021. After six-seven months in Early Access, following a tight, monthly update schedule and incorporating player feedback (just like ELDERBORN did), the game will launch in full in early 2022. If you enjoy city-builders, RTS combat, or simply like to feast your eyes on Unreal-powered Fjords, please..

WISHLIST AND FOLLOW FROZENHEIM

About the game: Prepare for brutal RTS combat that will put your tactical skill into a test. As you launch exploration parties on foot and by boats you will not only discover resources you can exploit but also draw the attention of the enemies who will seek to destroy you. To prove yourself an Earl worthy of sagas, you will:

Build and expand a Viking village from nothing to a rich, unconquerable settlement
Forage, hunt, fish, grow your food, and keep your clan safe as the seasons pass
Find your own progression path as you learn to utilize new buildings and units
Explore the fjords of Midgard, launch raid parties on foot or set sail in your drakkars
Seek the blessings of ancient shrines and build temples to win the favor of Asgard
Raid other players or form alliances with them in multiplayer matches
Capture the raw beauty of the Frozen North in photo-mode

We're very excited to welcome Frozenheim into our growing catalog of badass games. We hope you'll enjoy it - we know we do, and we did even before that other Viking game became popular. Fight well, Conquerors! Yours, https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/38371631/3d8c3ef4634d755f1f26ae0fa57e8cc5bdeda188.png

Enjoyed our Soulslike Doom? Now try Roguelike Doom!

At Hyperstrange, we strongly believe that badass games should stick together. That's why we've teamed up with ChaosForge to bring their Jupiter Hell out of Early Access and into your black, brutal hearts. This spiritual successor to fan favorite Doom, the Roguelike (a free game later renamed to DRL, for obvious copyright reasons) is a Metal AF game and we've been its great fans for years before taking on the role of its publisher. https://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/38371631/72beeb80c370cec8a448e0a3b73aa0b5b2428c53.png https://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/38371631/934e2f9647b28da482b05a320e7e080727c98ae7.png https://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/38371631/209349dce6d30667bb1a83e243859f6b625374b3.png https://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/38371631/d41f08d58b7ae5f1b1d20e0a07e92e4bc2886356.png Jupiter Hell takes the classic, turn-based roguelike gameplay and puts it in a detailed and dynamic 3D, 90s flavored sci-fi environment. Jupiter Hell stays true to the staple qualities of the roguelike genre: procedural level generation, providing endless possibilities for another run, character permadeath, and brutal, yet fair difficulty level. Make no mistake - this game is special. When it was doing its rounds on Kickstarter, it became the very first gamedev project backed by John Carmack. It also cought the eye of XCOM's designer, Jake Solomon. Then came Fallout's Brian Fargo and backed it as well. They all got their copies on August 1st, 2018, when Jupiter Hell launched in Early Access. It's retained a 'very positive' review score ever since, and it spawned a large community of dedicated players, who frequent the game's Discord. https://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/38371631/26fe4f09234cf7206d528dc872c1fa589f3bf436.gif We're hyped as hell to stand side by side with ChaosForge and announce the date of Jupiter Hell's full release: August 5, 2021. The game just received a major update and is currently available 20% off if you don't want to wait that long. Go grab it, or wishlist it and get it in August. May RNG forever be in your favor! https://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/38371631/004e98061256dda3ac95738fd8db13a87798daef.png
