Fighting evil never felt so active. YOUR STORY A demonic revolution is spreading through our world, and God needs you—we all do. Celestial beings have strayed from their paths, and a purifying light is required to bring them back. That light is now within your iPhone, in a sacred union of technology and the supernatural. Embrace this destiny and embark on a pilgrimage that will test the limits of your mental and physical resilience. A divine test from God, or in some twisted way, from the Devil himself. Or could it be the reverse? ACTIVE ACTION MECHANICS Devil's Purge brings the extravagant action of 'FPS' or 'Hack and Slash' into the real world through augmented reality. Use your iPhone's camera to reveal grotesque demons that appear before you, and exorcise them with the piercing light from your device's flashlight. Active movement is key to being a successful demon hunter. You must physically dodge attacks coming your way and aim precisely at the heart of these macabre creatures. Delight in their bursts of celestial light that bring peace to their tormented souls ROGUELIKE Boost your divine power with blessings from the archangels Saint Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, who offer hundreds of abilities to choose and combine. Create a powerful weapon in each session, exploring different playstyles against the demonic hordes. The King of all kings will also appear, granting mighty miracles to help restore the good name of the saints, now transformed into demonic forms. Survive wave after wave until you face the fallen angel: Satan.

About

AR Strike

Features
Read full description

Your room is the battlefield. AR Strike is a wave-defence shooter played through your phone's camera. Attackers close in from the front; you aim by turning the phone and hold your ground. No maps, no level design — wherever you are standing is the arena. WAVES Every wave is harder than the last. Five enemy types: fast rushers, armoured heavies, marksmen who shoot from range. A boss every fifth wave. WEAPONS Twenty weapons across six classes — pistols, SMGs, rifles, snipers, heavy and a blade. Damage, fire rate, armour penetration and recoil pattern are different for each. Four grenades: fragmentation, incendiary, flash and smoke. ECONOMY Clear a wave, take the payout, spend it in the buy break. Armour, a better rifle, or a grenade — your call. PROGRESSION A lost run still counts. The XP you earn raises a permanent level, and each level buys a stronger opening: more starting credits, then kevlar, then a helmet. LEADERBOARD Runs are recorded. The wave you reached, the eliminations you took and your total score all place on the board. Multiplayer coming soon. Note: the game uses your camera, motion sensors and location. Location only places you inside the match arena, and is shared only with players in your match.
