HELLSWEEPER VR
From the creators of Sairento VR, Hellsweeper VR is a roguelike first-person combat game where you take on the role of an undead immortal, tasked with entering hell with the sole mission of eliminating its twisted souls.

Juggle enemies in the air, rip them in half using psychic powers, use a lopped-off enemy limb as a club, release concussive blasts to smash enemies into a bloody mess of smithereens—no matter your style of play, the destructive possibilities are endless, arriving to the PlayStation VR2 in Q3!
