Roguelike Dungeon Crawler ‘HELLCARD’ Leaves Early Access on February 1st

Published

A week after releasing the final Early Access update, developer Thing Trunk has announced that their roguelike deckbuilding game HELLCARD will be leaving Early Access and fully launching on February 1st.

“It’s been almost a year since HELLCARD launched in Early Access,” reads the update from the devs. “During this time we got loads of feedback from the community via the Steam forums, in-game feedback widget, and, last but not least, on our Discord. This feedback was fundamental in balancing the game so that it would pose a fair challenge in both single-player and co-op modes.”

The post continues, revealing that 1.0 will launch with the game’s “largest content update” so far. The update will include a new class in the Tinkerer (which will be detailed at a later time), over 100 new cards and artifacts, full voice-over, outfits, and new mechanics.

Set in the same universe as their 2018 dungeon crawler Book of Demons, HELLCARD sees you and up to three players descend into papercraft-styled dungeons to take on the evil hordes and defeat the Archdemon. What separates HELLCARD from other card games is that in the battles, monster placement actually matters and can be used to your advantage (if you’re up to the strategic challenge). Your team of heroes has its own strengths and weaknesses, each with an ever-growing deck of abilities and equipment to use on the battlefield.

Survios Announces VR Title ‘Alien: Rogue Incursion’, Coming This Year [Trailer]

Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.

Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”

Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.

And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
