What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The game is in Early Access right now because there is a lot of content I want to add before a 1.0 release. Early Access sales help support the project.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Early Access launched on September 30th, 2020. Current plan is to be in Early Access for about 2 years before a 1.0 release.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The biggest difference between Early Access version and 1.0 will be the amount of content. The core gameplay is there today, but there is a lot of content I'd like to add before a 1.0 release.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current build is functional and has been bug bashed on all supported headsets. You cannot "beat" the game yet since not all the bosses have been added, but the core gameplay loop is there and contains a good set of weapons, enemies, and environments. The volume of content will grow throughout Early Access.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes. Current plan is to start with a cheaper price as a thank you to Early Access players and gradually raise the price as new content and features are added.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I actively involve the player community through Steam forums and the game's Discord to make sure:
  • The game is well tuned
  • The content is fun
  • Bugs are brought to my attention so I can fix them

FAQs


If I have an Oculus headset, do I have to play using SteamVR?
Nope! The game includes a launch option to play using the Oculus SDK which is what I would recommend if you have an Oculus headset.

Why is the game so hard?
I want the game to be difficult but fair. Your first few runs might be rough, but I hope you'll ultimately find the challenge satisfying once you master the game's mechanics.

What do you mean "roguelite"?
Hand Cannon Virtuoso is a roguelite in the sense that it features:
  • Permadeath: If you die, you need to start climbing from the bottom of the tower.
  • Out-Of-Run Progression: Even though you have to start from the bottom of the tower after death, you will still unlock rewards that persist across climbs such as new Weapon Cards you can use during your runs.
  • Procedural Content: Each time you climb, the sequence of encounters you need to fight through will change.

Will this game make me motion sick?
I do my best to prevent motion sickness but the game's locomotion is pretty fast-paced. If you have concerns, I'd suggest trying the game and refunding if it doesn't work for you.
