To drink a single drop of immortal’s blood.. is to die a thousand times over. HYPER DEMON is an FPS like no other.. a pearl of lightning. a dream from the future. a drop of poison. a swan song. The faster you slay demons, the harder the game and the higher your score. There is an end will it see you? Master minimal controls that open up a plethora of weapons and abilities for deep and spectacular combos. Collect gems to buff your shot and rapid or grab them to charge laser attacks and skillfully unleash cataclysmic super moves. Groundbreaking spherical projection gives the player wide peripheral vision without pinching and shrinking the center of the screen like a traditional linear perspective, allowing fields of view up to 180 degrees. A unique red holographic “rear view” overlay gives the player a full 360 degree sensory awareness of threats. Challenge your Steam and Discord friends’ scores or take the ultimate journey to reach the top of the Global Leaderboard. Watch Replays for any run, record and share clips straight from the game with embeddable video links that seamlessly work in Discord, Twitter and more. Photosensitive seizure warning - This game contains intense visuals including stroboscopic effects. Video games can be addictive - Please remember to breathe, drink water, take breaks, move, go outside, spend time with the ones you love.
