The Hard Rock Cacti Band takes on hordes of monstrous vegetables and fruits in the upcoming playtest
[Poland – October 12th, 2026] The Vegelypse has begun. The upcoming playtest for Vegelypse, a hand-painted 2.5D beat ‘em up with roguelike elements, will run from October 12th through October 25th, giving players a chance to take control of the Hard Rock Cacti Band and battle their way through hordes of mutated fruits and vegetables.
Following an explosion in a nearby town, viciously mutated produce has been unleashed upon the world, turning the quiet countryside into a battlefield. Players can choose from two playable members of the Hard Rock Cacti Band and smash, crush, and chop their way toward the source of the cataclysm (with local co-op support for 2-4 players). The playtest features 10 maps, three storyline quests, six playable enemies, dozens of challenges and research objectives, more than 100 modifiers, and an Endless mode.
Key Features:
- Beat ‘Em Up with Roguelike Elements: Combine classic beat ‘em up action with random modifiers, an evolution system, and perks for a different experience with every playthrough.
- Monster Vegetables: Battle a bizarre collection of huge, aggressive, mutated fruits and vegetables.
- Hand Painted Visuals: Experience frame-by-frame animation and a visual style inspired by classic cartoons.
- Hard Rock Soundtrack: Fight through the Vegelypse to an energetic soundtrack with fast riffs and driving drums.
- Multiple Game Modes: Uncover the narrative in Story Mode, compete for high scores in Arcade Mode, and tackle unique challenges in Arena Mode.
