During my trip to Portugal last year, I had the opportunity to dive into one of the most thrilling upcoming releases: Devil's Purge. Developed by Ontop, this augmented reality (AR) shooter game lets you take on demons and the devil himself, all while being immersed in a hardcore heavy metal soundtrack.
If you've been hesitant to try Devil's Purge, now is the perfect time to jump in. The game is set to receive a major update that not only expands its already pulse-pounding soundtrack but also transitions to a free-to-play model! Inspired by its spiritual predecessor Doom, Devil's Purge adopts a shareware approach. You can now experience the initial levels of its over 60 levels for free, with the option to unlock the full game through a one-time purchase.
In Devil's Purge, you're not just standing still and shooting; you'll need to move actively to dodge enemies and reveal their weak spots. This dynamic gameplay sets it apart from other AR experiences, like Pokémon Go, and adds an extra layer of excitement to battling the forces of Hell.
With the latest update, Devil's Purge introduces a host of new tracks to its brutal soundtrack, featuring music from independent metal artists such as Avesso, Visceral, Zero Massive, Tales for the Unspoken, and many others. Combined with over 60 levels and a new combat system that allows you to customize your equipment from the start using resources from previous sessions, there's no better time to leap into the fray and take on the forces of Hell!
The shift to free-to-play begins today, and you can find Devil's Purge on the iOS App Store.
