Devil's Purge Goes Free-to-Play, Expands Soundtrack

If you've been eagerly awaiting updates on the heavy metal AR shooter, Devil's Purge, you're in for a treat! This thrilling game from Ontop is rolling out a major new update that promises to elevate your gaming experience to new heights. Not only are they adding more pulse-pounding music tracks to the already brutal soundtrack, but they're also making a significant shift to a free-to-play model.

During my trip to Portugal last year, I had the chance to dive into Devil's Purge, and let me tell you, it's an exhilarating ride. Inspired by its spiritual predecessor Doom, the game adopts a shareware approach. You can now try out the initial levels out of over 60 for free, giving you a taste of what's to come. If you're hooked, you can then unlock the full game with a one-time purchase.

What sets Devil's Purge apart is its dynamic gameplay. You're not just standing and shooting; you'll need to move actively to dodge enemy attacks and expose their weak spots. This isn't your typical AR experience—think of it more like an intense, fast-paced demon-slaying adventure set to the backdrop of hardcore heavy metal.

With the latest update, the game's soundtrack is getting even more intense, featuring tracks from independent metal artists such as Avesso, Visceral, Zero Massive, Tales for the Unspoken, and many others. Additionally, the new combat system lets you customize your equipment right from the start using resources collected from previous sessions. With over 60 levels to conquer, there's never been a better time to jump into the fray and take on the forces of Hell.

The shift to free-to-play starts today, and you can find Devil's Purge on the iOS App Store. So, what are you waiting for? Blast your way through the initial levels and see if you have what it takes to purge the demons!
