HYPERCHARGE: Unboxed (2020)
HELP SGT. MAX AMMO TO DEFEAT MAJOR EVIL AND SAVE THE HYPERCORE! There was once an ancient line of action figures, who created a magical power source that would allow humans to keep their favourite childhood memories of their toys. This ancient power source is known as the Hypercore. Inside the Hypercore are the beloved memories of our favorite toys. If Major Evil destroys it, these memories will disappear forever. Defend it with everything you've got, or see our cherished toys turn into lost treasures of the past! If you grew up watching classic toy movies and playing with action figures, get ready for the ultimate action figure game! Hypercharge takes you back to the original drawing board of action shooters, with no pay-to-progress, weapon meta, or slide cancelling. Just simple, light-hearted, casual fun! Key Features 1-4 player online/local co-op. Full split-screen support including online/local. Single player/offline play with player bots. Difficulty scales based on the number of players. Wave-based shooter with story campaign. Classic PvP game modes. (up to eight players) First and third-person camera modes. PLAY CO-OP WITH YOUR FRIENDS Work together as a team to defend the Hypercore. Grab a friend, break out of your toy packaging, and get ready to fight waves of classic toys. Prepare for each wave by searching for weapons, resources, and even hidden secrets. OFFLINE PLAY FOR SOLO PLAYERS Not everybody likes to play online. Hypercharge supports Offline, Split-Screen and Local play. You can progress and unlock everything in-game while playing solo. SPLIT-SCREEN Grab a second controller and jump in! Hypercharge lets you play the entire game in Split-Screen, with up to four-player co-op and PvP, both Online and Local. Team up and experience it all side-by-side on the couch. PLAYER BOTS Don’t have a team to play with? Don’t worry, we’ve got you solo players covered. Player bots listen to your commands, collect resources, and even help to build defences. UNLOCK ACTION FIGURES Earn unlocks the old school way, in-game with hard work! No Pay-to-Win nonsense. PLAYER VERSUS PLAYER MODES Go head-to-head against other action figures as you fight to become top of the scoreboard! Classic PvP modes include Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Battery, Infection, and King of the Hill.
