YUKI: Is ready for you to enjoy it!!
ARVORE, the Emmy Award winning VR studio behind the acclaimed Pixel Ripped series, is proud to announce that their upcoming Bullet Hell Roguelike in VR YUKI (trailer, press kit, Oculus, Steam, website) launched - July 22nd on Oculus Quest, Quest 2, Rift and all Steam VR platforms at a price of 19,99 USD|EUR, with a PSVR release coming later this year.
YUKI is an upbeat mix of the bullet-hell and roguelike genres in VR set in a multidimensional anime universe. Enter a kid’s wild imagination and fly by controlling Yuki’s action-figure using your hands. Move your body to dodge bullets and obstacles, while fighting evil forces that want to control the universe, in this challenging game where each defeat is just another step to get closer to victory. You can watch it HERE!
"With YUKI, we wanted to make each run feel like a completely new game. Every session feels like an opportunity to invest in a strategy that you haven't tried yet, and to tackle a uniquely-generated combination of bullet patterns and obstacles. When it comes to level design, our ultimate goal was to embrace three-dimensional gameplay in a way that would be impossible in "pancake" (non-VR) games. We wanted to create challenges that use 3D space as much as possible, making players perform precise and fluid movements in all axes, as if they were dancing with the enemy bullets. When we hear players saying 'I couldn't imagine a game that uses spatial awareness like this if VR didn't exist', we know we did a good job."

FROM THE PRESS
Evertried reached the news as their new trailer and partnership with DANGEN Entertainment comes to light!
We had a brief mention about Evertried in our last edition, and It's rewarding to see that the game is attracting more and more attention from the media, which heightens our willingness to play even more. And you can find out more about the game with us!
Evertried is a tactical rogue-lite set in the afterlife where the player takes the role of a fallen warrior who must ascend a mysterious tower by defeating enemies in turn-based combat. Each floor presents a unique challenge to overcome through wits, strategy and positioning. The player must make clever use of attacks, movement, skills and hazards to clear floors of enemies and ascend higher in The Tower toward their destiny.
Want to try Evertried for yourself? Visit the game on Steam to try the demo right now! Check out the newest trailer!
Key Features of Evertried:
- I Get Knocked Down…: 50 floors of fun await you as you battle your way to the top of the Tower, but death is only the beginning! In classic rogue-like fashion, your skills — as a player and in the game — will only grow sharper and more powerful upon each death.
- Pace Yourself: In Evertried, your actions dictate when enemies are able to move and attack — free-flowing turn-based action combat system allows you to carefully plan each series of actions several moves ahead. Take your time, employ tactics, then leap into action!
- Skills Pay the Bills: Increase your powers with each floor by acquiring Modifiers, which make you stronger during that particular run. Skills, on the other hand, remain as permanent upgrades, allowing you to become mightier and more capable on the next attempt
- Let’s Go Shopping: Collect shards to be used as currency in conveniently located shops every ten floors, where you can buy all sorts of nifty items, skills, and modifiers.
- Stay Focused: Attacking and defeating enemies will increase your Focus level, which determines the amount of shards you receive when fighting enemies. Keep pressing the attack and Focus goes up; if you begin to stall or hesitate, however, your Focus will start to drop.

About Lunic Games
Lunic Games was founded in 2019 by longtime friends Pedro Colmenero and Eduardo Fernandes and is currently situated in the city of Santos, southeast Brazil. The studio was created upon the foundation of “minimum complexity; maximum polish” with the intention to foster a culture of sustainable growth within the Brazilian game development market. Colmenero initially set out to be a doctor, attending medical college until deciding he’d rather focus on more creative endeavors, like creating fun, immersive gaming experiences.
The company’s first title was the self-published Tower Smash, a mobile title with a nearly 5-star rating on the Google play store. Not one to rest on their laurels, Lunic Games quickly began work on their next title, the old-school 2D platformer Lumi and the Dark Nebula. The company’s big breakout moment came when they launched the Kickstarter for Evertried, a game developed in partnership with Danilo Domingues. Evertried not only met its goal in under 34 hours, but achieved a staggering 400% of its funding goal by the end of the 30-day period. Suffice to say, people are pretty excited about the title, and there are a few great reasons for that. A small studio with a big heart, Lunic Games is a developer to keep an eye on.
Evertried will release on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series S/X, and PlayStation 5 in Fall 2021. Stay up to date by following the game on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and joining the official Discord.
