Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“HIRUN is still under development, and I'm planning to improve it further during the Early Access period by adding more visual details, some gameplay related changes, and collecting feedback from the community. The game will continue to receive updates after the release, but I'd like to shape the game's release based on the player base.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Early Access period is planned to be lasting until September 2026. Community feedback helps determining a better timeline.”

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

“I'm planning to expand more maps to run, in addition to The Arena, add more playable characters, improve the performance and overall stability, and gameplay balance updates.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“HIRUN Early Access (Beta) is a fully playable 3D neon horde-survival roguelike with 8 characters, one procedural map (The Arena) leveling, bosses, an OVERLORD endgame, modifiers, Überbits, meta shop/skill tree, 17 languages, and 2-3 player Steam friend co-op.

This build is mechanically complete but still in active development: balance and content are still being tuned, and co-op is less polished than solo. I will continue improving content, balance, performance, co-op, UI, and final presentation throughout Early Access.”

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

“The Early Access price is intended to be the same as the full release price for now. Any future price changes would only happen if I add substantial new content beyond what HIRUN currently has, and I would announce that in advance.”

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

“The community on our Discord and Steam Community Hub is continuously helping me to shape the game.”

About This Game

KEEP MOVING, THE OVERLORD IS COMING

HIRUN is a 3D horde survival game built around two simple rules: move, and upgrade.

You run across a randomly generated, music reactive neon arena while enemies keep pouring in. Try different builds with each run, try your best to survive the horde. Collect XP, level up, pick upgrades, open chests, and stack modifiers until your build stops making sense. Bosses show up on the way. If you make it to level 50, that's your time to meet the OVERLORD.

Compete with literally everyone else on the global Leaderboard!

EIGHT CLASSES AND NO MERCY

Eight classes, each with their own starting weapon and playstyle:

  • kNight - Tanky with Sword slashes up close

  • Ex-terminator - Quick shotgun spread

  • Igniter - Long-range bolts

  • Bladerunner - Shurikens and Katana, with extra dodge

  • Hitman - Crit-focused Revolver

  • HR - Soul-sucking witch heals per damage

  • DJ - Neon Soundwaves through the crowd

  • Electro - Forked lightning arcs

Carry up to three weapons in one run and level them through upgrades.

YOUR META EVERY RUN

Runs earn Bucks. Most of what you earn banks after death. Spend Bucks on chests during the run, then convert leftovers into Bytecoins to unlock permanent progress in the Shop and the Skill Tree.

CO-OP

Bring a friend. Host a lobby, pick characters, and survive the same seeded arena together. Downed players can be revived. But of course, the chaos scales accordingly.

Health & Safety warning: HIRUN contains flashing lights, rapid visual effects, strobing neon elements, screen shake, and high-contrast patterns that may trigger photosensitive epilepsy or cause discomfort in some players. For more information, visit the Health Warnings page.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:
