Itās the 80ās all over again. Only this time, the human race has more than an obnoxious pop culture to contend with.
With World War III nearing its demise, Earth only just begins to catch its breath when it is threatened by yet another menace. Unlike the preposterous mullets of its inhabitants however, this oneās invisible ā a parasitic organism capable of making hosts of unsuspecting human beings, consuming whatās left of their souls and wreaking unfathomable havoc.
And itās spreading. With a vengeance.
Martial laws have been declared to make way for a global hunt, battle-hardened law enforcers have made allies of the most degenerate of criminals, while the rest of the world is paralysed with paranoia; yet who can be trusted? Who can see it, let alone destroy it? Thatās for them to worry about. For you are the enemy.
You are the organism with a mission. You are⦠HyperParasite.
Snatch. Zap. Repeat.
Features
Relentless top-down, shoot āem up action!
Being able to snatch the bodies of nearly every weapon-wielding homosapien you encounter ensures bullet hell almost never ceases.
Intelligent zapping!
A happy trigger-finger alone wonāt suffice; multiple character classes, host-specific abilities and a skill-based progression system means youāll be working to one-up the human race even without bullets.
Extreme level re-playability
Procedurally generated levels, multiple game-play objectives, grueling waves of enemies and deranged bosses, all while the possibility of perma-death looms; prepare to die. A lot.
Nostalgia
ā¦perpetuated by a unique 3D-pixelated art style, absurdly bright neons, obnoxious styling and robotic synthesizer sounds. Itās the roaring 80ās alright, with a dash of dystopia.
