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.

Why are the bad guys using OSB plywood to close off entrances instead of like.. doors
a bit short(completed in 4 hours) but a nice experience, probably willl play it again with a friend
The game itself is pretty much a budget version of MGS V. There's story and characters , stealth...etc. Environmental destruction does not play a big part in this game. Since you can bring very limited explosives in each level, and not every parts of levels are destructible. The game itself has no procedural generation for levels, so expect poor replayability. AI is pretty awful that they can see you through wooden box and wooden blockade. And their accuracy is like laser beam, and they will destroy you if you don't pull yourself away from them for at least 80 meters.
Really fun. Glad they are returning to dev.
