Developed by indie game development studio ONTOP, Devil’s Purge, the upcoming action shooter extravaganza fused with roguelike mechanics played in the real world, is now available on iOS.
Devil’s Purge is an augmented reality roguelike shooter where players become exorcists by using their phones to battle demons and purge the Devil.
With the iPhone camera, players reveal monstrous beings that must be exorcised using the device’s flashlight, requiring physical agility to evade attacks and sharp accuracy to strike at demons.
Players receive blessings from archangels like Saint Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael to enhance their attack, defense, and reaction abilities, allowing for unique builds and strategies. The game features 60 randomly generated levels and various miracles from King Jesus Christ, ensuring high replayability and diverse gameplay experiences.
Devil’s Purge offers quick 5 to 10-minute gameplay sessions with a heavy metal soundtrack and a distinctive art style, delivering a hardcore experience without free-to-play mechanics.
It includes real band music through a partnership with the record label Raging Planet and geolocation to encourage visits to churches for extra powers in an exclusive ad-free iOS premium experience with no in-app purchases.
“Devil’s Purge is a celebration of resilience, where overcoming challenges aims to build real-life confidence. It’s a modern ode to ’90s hardcore gaming infused with a heavy metal attitude, blending augmented reality with catholicism, and leveraging the iPhone as a key mechanic of the experience.
More than just a port, it’s an indie game crafted for those seeking gaming innovation and new thrills.”
Nuno Folhadela, Game Director of Devil’s Purge
