Beasts Shall Rise

About the game

You have been sent by the Vatican on a mission to put an end to Father Shannon's drunken spree that has unleashed his inner demons on earth. Time is not on your side and you must use your skills to keep the clock ticking, earning bullet time, all while avoiding The Grim Reaper himself who stalks you relentlessly throughout the cemetery.

Beasts Shall Rise is a fast paced arcade style looter shooter with rogue-like elements. You will need to keep your wits about you because in this game when you die - it's game over.
You must fight your way through to the enormous cemetery that lies centrally at the heart of the world. There you will eventually find Father Shannon who has been in a delirious drunken stupor for weeks unleashing his inner demons on the world.

Good luck! You're going to need it!!

Oh, and watch out for Midnight Madness Mode.....

Weapons

While you start off the game with a minimal set of weapons, you will soon discover new weapons along the way that can be swapped out to upgrade your arsenal. But choose wisely and tactically which weapons you decide to pick up.

Control Scheme

Promising full freedom of movement (no teleporting!) Beasts Shall Rise is a single-player first-person VR shooter which allows you to explore the environment however you choose. The game uses motion controllers and IS DESIGNED TO BE PLAYED WHILE SEATED.

Replayability

The game is designed to offer an arcade style experience with a high level of replayability. Spawn points and pathways will change on each play meaning no two games will be identical. BSR has a full weather system and day night cycle which will change randomly with each game start. The game will adjust it's difficulty on the fly to meet your skill level. There are many hidden Easter eggs to be found, some of which are triggered to appear on certain days of the year. Don't play late at night though....or risk finding yourself in Midnight Madness Mode!

Hardware Requirements

BSR is VR only. Currently the game is confirmed as working with Oculus Rift CV1, Meta Quest 2 (via Link/AirLink), Valve Index. Oculus headsets seem to work best running with the Oculus app set to OpenXR by default.
Base spec graphics card is GTX1080 - the game is developed on this card. RTX cards don't seem to handle the game as well as GTX through SteamVR, but there are graphics settings in the game that allow you to find the setup that works best for you. There is support for Nvidia DLSS and NIS. I recommend setting resolution to 100% or lower in SteamVR and disabling SuperSampling. I strongly recommend launching in DirectX 11.

Health Warning

Please DO NOT play Beasts Shall Rise if you suffer from any health issues or are pregnant. This can become a very intense experience and may contain jump scares. Not for the faint hearted! Contains strobing and flickering lights, swearing, smoking, decapitation you name it. By purchasing/playing the game you agree not to hold the developer or publisher responsible for any accidents/injuries/health issues.
