During my trip to Portugal last year, I had the chance to preview one of the most thrilling upcoming releases, Devil's Purge. Developed by Ontop, this augmented reality (AR) shooter lets you battle demons and the devil himself, all to the backdrop of a pulsating heavy metal soundtrack. If you've been hesitant to try Devil's Purge, now is the perfect time to dive in as the game is expanding its soundtrack and transitioning to a free-to-play model!
Taking inspiration from its spiritual predecessor, Doom, Devil's Purge adopts a shareware approach. You can experience the initial levels of its over 60 levels for free, with the option to unlock the full game through a one-time purchase. This isn't just a static shooter; Devil's Purge requires you to move actively to dodge enemies and expose their vulnerabilities. It's far from a casual game like Pokemon Go, making it an intense and engaging experience.
The latest update introduces a variety of new tracks to the already brutal soundtrack, featuring music from independent metal artists such as Avesso, Visceral, Zero Massive, Tales for the Unspoken, and many more. Alongside these auditory enhancements, the game now boasts a new combat system that allows you to customize your equipment right from the start using resources gathered in previous sessions. With these exciting updates, there's never been a better time to challenge the forces of Hell!
The shift to free-to-play begins today, and you can find Devil's Purge on the iOS App Store. If you're looking for something completely different, check out Catherine Dellosa's review of the charming culinary simulator, Cat Restaurant, in our regular feature, "Ahead of the Game," where we preview upcoming releases you can play before their official launch.
