Tue, 22 Jun 2021 12:17:57 GMT

We are glad to announce the official support of LIV for green screen shooting. Here are the latest instructions for using it with Purgatory Overkill.

Purgatory Overkill is compatible with the AR video capture software LIV .

You first have to enable it following the steps described here .

Then, when in game you can adjust the hand offsets by opening the “LIV settings menu” at the first screen.

Selecting 0, 1 or 2 will change the center point of your hands and bring them more or less toward the player.

If you need to adjust more precisely you can use the + and – buttons.

The Power System in Purgatory Ovekill

Tue, 04 May 2021 13:58:17 GMT

Let's take a look at the Powers in Purgatory Overkill

There are currently three types of powers in Purgatory Overkill.

The Refill Power:

From levels 1 through 3 this power gives you ammunition for the weapon you’re holding while activating it.
For levels 4 and 5 it gives ammunition for every weapon you have on yourself.
Level 5 grants you another bonus: double weapons for a certain amount of time!

The God Mode Power:

All levels make you invincible and increase all your damages.
The level 5 grants you another bonus: infinite ammo for a certain amount of time!

The Repair All Power:

All levels repair all the turrets currently spawned on the map. The amount of life given back increases with each level.
The level 5 also repairs the teleporter.

You can only carry one power at a time and it can be activated at any time during a wave with the left hand menu. If the power is not in cooldown, its effect will be immediate (a visible timer has been added to version 0.030).

To buy or upgrade a power you need to open the Power Menu, available through interaction with the Power Module, similar to the weapon one.

Once the menu is opened you can change the tabs to change the power and buy them using the cards, just like the weapons.

But unlike the weapons here you can’t buy any level you want, to get to level 5 you need to buy the intermediate levels. The others will be locked until you’ve reached it. So think about which one you want to upgrade.

Once a level has been bought you can change to it at will from the same menu between the waves. No need to buy them back.

[Press Release] Mixing Shooter and Tower Defense in VR - Purgatory Overkill Now Available For Early Access On Steam

Sun, 25 Apr 2021 08:52:50 GMT

Build turrets and walls to help you fight endless hordes of monsters while you actively participate in the fight with loads of guns in Windows SteamVR game

Monday, April 26, 2021 - Death On Sausage (aka DOS), a new independent game studio, has today released for early access on Steam the VR Shooter and Tower Defense Purgatory Overkill for Windows SteamVR. The game is available digitally for early access for $19.99 on the Steam platform , with a launch discount of 40% during the first week.

Purgatory Overkill is a VR shooter and a VR tower defense video game where you can build turrets and walls to help you fight endless hordes of monsters while you actively participate in the fight with loads of guns. As a member of the OverKill Unit you are to be sent to worlds where lifeforms and universal laws are very different from what you have experienced so far. Your only mission is to protect each world’s portal against the assault of its residents until the command center brings you home and deactivates it. If you fail, the command center will fall in the hands of hostile creatures which could then ravage your home, and many more.

Thanks to the VR technology, you can experience your strategy skills through the Tower Defense scheme of the game while feeling the adrenaline of VR shooting at the same time. In Purgatory Overkill, you have to carefully balance both approaches to reach your goals and progress in the game.

Key Features:

Full VR gameplay with immersive graphics that mixes FPS gunfights with tower-defense elements. Compatible with HTC Vive and Oculus Rift.
Build and upgrade turrets to help you fight. Some will help you kill your enemies, some will grant you bonuses, be smart about your building layout and you won't even have to lift a finger!
Use guns to repel enemy assaults. Chose between a selection of 20 weapons (and more to come) across 5 categories (from tiny pistols to huge gatling guns) to be active during the fights.
You will have to face different enemies with different behaviors. Some will concentrate on your turrets or your teleporter, other will come for you.
Visit multiple locations with different enemies. Each level to come with the early will have a different design with different enemies and sizes.
Each level has a boss fight. Once you passed enough waves of enemies, you will have to face the boss. It changes for every level and each time you face it, it grows stronger.
