14 itemsAbout the Game
Crunch Element is a tactical VR shooter where you breach, blast, and clear destructible compounds using explosive gadgets, high-powered weapons, and precision tactics.
Play solo or co-op with up to 4 players. Plan your raid, choose your loadout, and enter enemy compounds where no wall is safe and every mission plays out in destructible environments.
After nearly a year of rebuilding, Crunch Element has been fully reworked with new systems, enemies, and gear based on reviews and feedback. The foundation is set for continuous updates, new contracts, and new missions.
The old version of the game has been moved to the “legacy” branch. To access it: Steam Library → Right-click Crunch Element → Properties → Betas → Select legacy from the dropdown.
