Announcement trailer just arrived - looks potentially awesome  B)

 


 

Should be out in 2019, but I can't find it on Steam yet. The game has been in development at least since 2017. 

Some pics:

Just asked the chicken if he tested the game using the Index - he replied:

"I didn’t test it personally, just asked around and looked through the discord."

Seems like some parents are still doing a great job, Hellsplit isn't for kids at all. Nonetheless the chicken does have a lot of skills making videos and I appreciate his enthusiasm.

This time a nice review by an adult who actually played the game 😉

Asgard's Wrath is awesome - but Hellsplit is still the King of VR sword fighting in my mind - here's a boss fight:

Looks nice, but damn there are some major stutter/lag going on when he gets close to the enemies.. :hushed:

Strange - never noticed that - I wouldn't worry about that. I normally get perfect 90 fps using the Index.

Another review of maybe the best VR fighting game - I like the fighting better in Hellsplit than in Asgard's Wrath and Until You Fall:

Aren't there any character shadows in Blade & Sorcery?!


Maybe the surroundings are much bigger, but Blade & Sorcery nearly looks like a Quest game compared to the awesome lightning and character shadows in HellSplit? 😉 Note that I have not yet tried Blade & Sorcery - would love to be wrong about the character shadows.

Seems like HellSplit: Arena is selling quite well on Steam. SteamSpy says 100,000 - 200,000 own the game, and PlayTracker says 140,000. So congrats to the devs - and it truly is an awesome game!

 

This game is 20% off on Steam until January 5 - get it here:

HellSplit has been massively updated in recent months - it's close to my favorite VR sword-fighting games of all. Just took a few screenshots:

Graphics are awesome - opponents have realtime shadows and check out the ground textures and view distance - this is high-end VR at the finest

Horse riding never was more fun!

Full finger-tracking is supported - if you have Index controllers. Skin textures look great

Some ghoul or whatever that thing is

Close-up - some opponents are quite ... disturbing ...

The surroundings look astonishingly good - devs paid much attention to everything

Also looks like Pinocchio is turning into a real boy - not that the game was bad before, but it's starting to look really amazing - some screenshots:
