VINDICTA - The HIVE Update now live on Steam
Hey, guys!
So happy to be sharing the first VINDICTA update since its Early Access Launch! This update includes a host of new content, bug fixes and some fine-tuning in between! It also includes a drop in price to $14.99.
When we initially priced VINDICTA at Early Access, we did so with the final full version in mind which included an Oculus version, more levels, multiplayer, co-op, more weapons, enemies, puzzles and more polish among other things. We wanted to launch it in Early Access so that we may build it alongside the VR community – however, that kind of accessibility proved to be a challenge at the price point we had set.
After some back and forth with the team and many of you early VINDICTA supporters, we have decided to drop the price for now. VINDICTA will go into full release once it has lived up to both players’ expectations and ours, at which point we will re-evaluate the price to reflect the full VINDICTA launch.
We cannot thank you enough for all the support you have shown VINDICTA so far and cannot wait to hear what you think of our latest update!
Here is a quick list of what you can expect in this new version!
- Optimized performance/Bug Fixes
Re-vamped the tutorial
More polished look to the game
Fine-tuned the aiming and recoil of the Uzi, M4 and Kriss
Fine-tuned the arm swinging locomotion
Fine-tuned the ammo clip on all weapons
- New Level! The Hive comes with 1 hr of gameplay. It includes crazy arena fights and tricky puzzles
- Optimized enemy AI - enemies will seek you out and follow you. They get harder to defeat
- New melee weapon - added for out of ammo situations!
- New collectible shield
- Added interactions with certain environment elements
- Increased number of checkpoints throughout (beyond infamous #14!)
- New puzzle elements all through the game
- New objectives in each level
- Some of the doors in VINDICTA are now locked - you must find the key!
- 12 new skins - one for each weapon (total of 12 weapon types!)
- Kasted and LAW weapon not rechargeable anymore - once used you can dispose of them
- As you progress in the game
Enemy health increases
Enemy bullets become faster
Enemy fire rate increases
Enemy movement speed increases
- Level changes:
Extended gameplay for each level (15-30min longer)
Higher level of difficulty in each level
New enemies encountered
- New enemy types added:
Floating alarm detector - if it detects you, it will throw a rage of electric shocks (mini boss)
Flame thrower - enemy that shows no mercy
Electrified spider - shoots electric stuns at you and then runs for cover
- More content!
Easter eggs can be found throughout the game
Weapons attained through Easter eggs have +2 damage over other weapons
- Friendly scientists are not so friendly anymore! They can spit at you so you no need to feel guilty for shooting them anymore :)
Next order of business: Oculus launch date to be announced soon!
As always, feedback and comments are more than welcome as we build this game together to full release!
Feel free to drop us your comments on the steam page or head over to our VINDICTA Discord Channel where you can chat with other players, get heads up on upcoming announcements and chat with the developers!

VINDICTA PRICE DROP ANNOUNCEMENT!
We would like to officially announce that we have dropped VINDICTA's price from $29.99 to $14.99 and let you in on what led us to take this decision so soon after Early Access launch. This is ahead of the first game update which goes live this Wednesday!
When we had initially priced VINDICTA at $29.99, we had done so with the planned game updates in mind, leading up to the final full release version - which will include frequently added new levels, new enemy types and weapons, new puzzles, hours and hours of fun gameplay, Oculus version, multiplayer and Co-Op mode!
We decided early on to launch our game in Early Access because we want to build it alongside the VR community; taking in the feedback and comments to develop and shape VINDICTA into the great game we envision it to be! Being in Early Access means making sure that the game is accessible to as many players as possible so that they can play the game and have an active role in helping us push it into full release!
That kind of accessibility we are looking for starts with the price and after some back and forth with the team and many of you early VINDICTA supporters, we have decided to drop the price to $14.99 for now. VINDICTA will go into full release once it has lived up to both players' expectations and ours and we will re-price the game to reflect the full launch!
We cannot thank you enough for all the support you have shown VINDICTA, be it right here on the steam community, SteamVR facebook group, reddit channels, Discord etc... As always, keep the feedback coming and we look forward to showing you what we have in store!
If you would like to discuss this further with the developers or any other VINDICTA related topic or even just to talk about the weather, make sure to jump into our Discord Channel!
All the best,
Game Cooks Team
