Ex-Superhot Developers New Game, Harpagun, is Now Available
[summaraize]
From the minds that brought you Superhot VR comes a brand-new VR experience set in a post-apocalyptic sci-fi world.
Equipped with a pair of harpoons, Harpagun will test players’ skills as they navigate through a remote planet, wrecking havoc everywhere they go.
Throw, Smash, and Harpoon
Harpagun is developed by former Superhot VR devs under a new studio called Something Random Games. Players can expect fast-paced action, colorful environments, and a variety of enemies, including bosses
About the game (via Steam)
“Be Harpagun. Get stranded on a deserted planet. Accidentally destroy your own rocket. Be swarmed by insane critters. Wreck stuff, throw aliens. Argue with your useless crew. Smash more enemies. Meet a girl. Have hallucinations. Listen to slav beats. Shoot living grenades.
This a game. In VR. With story and stuff. Also combat. A lot of combat. It’s good – you have weapons but won’t use them cause it’s more fun to take a washing machine and slam it into an alien’s head
You can move stuff with a gravity ray. Enemies too, just yeet them into a wall or something and they die.
It’s an arcade game. You know, one of the ones you actually have fun playing. Like an on-rails-shooter but not really because you can move around and don’t puke. Just try it, it works. If not – return to sender, spend money on other stuff.”
