Behind the scenes:
Hypercharge: Unboxed is a delightful multiplayer shooter that brings a fresh twist to the genre. Developed by a small team, it manages to capture the essence of old-school shooters while infusing it with a nostalgic theme.
The game can be tested in its free STEAM demo for PC and probably the same on consoles. The scenarios that can be tested are the Tutorial and Fort Jeep.
Here’s what players have been saying:
- gcbspender:
- “I’ve followed Hypercharge since its announcement for Xbox, and I’m incredibly pleased with how it turned out. It gives Halo and Call of Duty a run for their money in terms of fun factor, balance, and bug-free gameplay.”
- As a 40-something gamer, Hypercharge hits all the right notes, especially for those of us who grew up obsessed with action figures. Split-screen co-op with my son has been a blast!
- Jewkneeur:
- “As someone who’s been gaming since elementary school, I find Hypercharge refreshing. It’s a fun game with a unique feel among FPS titles. Sure, there are a few tweaks needed, but nothing game-breaking. Can’t wait to see how it evolves!”
- tencheenian:
- “Best kid-friendly FPS shooter! The aim assist feature makes it playable without feeling dizzy. I hope the developers collaborate with toy makers for licensed character action figures and more real-world locations in future DLC.”
Metacritic aggregates reviews, and Hypercharge: Unboxed has generally favorable scores from both critics and users. It’s a colorful, nostalgia-infused experience that you can enjoy alone or with friends. Just be wary of potential server issues as the player base grows.
