Shoot Em' Ups Are Coming Back In a Big Way! We Play - Hyper-5 (Preview)
7What is going on gamers! Today we have a special episode of We Play! This time we have a preview for Hyper-5 on PC! Preview by (Luis Rivera)
Hyper-5 is a cinematic side-scrolling shoot-em-up! Inspired by classic shooters from the ’90s like R-Type and others from that genre. Hyper-5 development took approximately four years. The game was solo funded developed by one man “Jamie Paterson”, published by his own Hyper production studios in Oxford, UK.
Hyper-5 is has a very interesting design. Different from other 2d side-scrolling shoot em ups, Hyper-5 graphic engine is fully 3d Powered by UNITY. This is a very smart choice, this gives the game a very unique art style and allows to tell the story in a more cinematic way. The ship design is pretty cool and simple, every time you upgrade it shows visually on the ship. Level design is very unique and diverse, the player will battle over 5 very distinct environments. From air to underwater caverns, even deserts! Each level has over 40 unique enemies and 5 challenging final bosses! Each level and final boss will challenge the player in a very unique way, it will make you change strategies every time you die and respawn. But don’t worry! The armory is here to help! There are over 20 weapons systems to upgrade, this is where Hyper-5 shines. The progression system is very strong and very rewarding. The player will acquire “upgrade points” to use on the Armory. Armory can be accessed after you beat a level or replay a level. Again this is the bread and butter of Hyper-5, you will feel the progression as you get stronger, and yes you will die! but coming back stronger to learn a level pattern and hit on that boss battle again is very rewarding.
I saw myself replying and memorizing the first levels and completing challenges multiple times. Hyper-5 has great replay value not only the player can go back and replay the levels stronger, but also “Arcade mode” and “Time Trial” are there as well. All this is combined with a great soundtrack that is unique to each level and boss fight! Makes this game so enjoyable to play!
Overall Hyper-5 is a Unique shoot-em-up that encourages progression and has great replayability. My only critique is that starts a little bit slow, but after the first upgrade, the fun will start on this great shoot-em-up!
Hyper-5 is out today on Steam and on Itch.IO Links are on the description below! So go there and get this new shoot 'em up gem!
