RPG Gamers summaryHYPERVIOLENT is a first-person shooter game that pays homage to classic sprite-based 3D games from the 90s. The game takes place in a remote mining colony, Commodus Asteroid 27-C, where you respond to a distress signal only to find yourself in the midst of an outbreak of violence. In order to unravel the secrets of the asteroid, you will need to navigate through its complex corridors and mines, whilst fighting off enemies who can ambush you at any point. You must use an extensive array of weapons, including melee weapons which can be dual-wielded in near-endless combinations, to combat the enemies. The game features an RPG / FPS mechanic where you can manage your inventory, upgrade weapons, interact with NPCs and access computer data logs to progress further. The game’s stunning hybrid 3D/pixel art aesthetic immerses the player into the environment and adds to the intense horror atmosphere. The environment can also be used to the player’s advantage as switches, computer terminals, keycards, and other control mechanisms can be utilized to navigate through the labyrinthian station. Overall, HYPERVIOLENT provides an exciting, nostalgic experience whilst requiring vigilance and judicious resource management.
