50 minutes of content is too short for me
Si j'aime bien l'idée d'un mix entre Ghostrunner et Hotline Miami, je dois avouer que Hyperblade rate le coche de peu. En effet, le principe est cool, le jeu a l'intelligence de ne poser que quelques mécaniques pour éviter de se perdre, mais malgré ça ces quelques mécaniques n'ont pas la précision et le raffinement qui aurait pu permettre à ce petit titre de briller. Les hitbox sont peu précises et sur la plupart des niveaux, élément assez révélateur, on perd en genre 0.3 sec (littéralement) au premier coup. Peu de place à l'analyse de la situation, ce qui fait souvent le sel des jeux d'actions avec du slow motion, c'est plus du par coeur des niveaux. De plus, comme parmi les outils proposé l'un est bien plus safe, la combinaison entre ce point et l'imprécision des hitbox et le côté bêtement punitif, fait qu'on le favorise par défaut plutôt qu'essayer d'approfondir son gameplay. Dommage,il y avait de l'idée. :/

I was like, "This is really fun". It reminded me of katana zero, It was really smooth, and there where virtually no bugs. Then it ended.... This is not worth 6$, its a really fun game, but considering its only 40 minutes long, 6$ is a LOT.
this game lets you finally become a ninja like you always wished you were
I'm a sucker for slow mo! Easy controls quick rounds perfect for in an out gameplay! Great graphics, love the blood splatter! Look forward to the full release!
No updates. The devs released a preview for the game and never updated it. the concept is cool but if you are in 2024 dont buy this demo
Hotline Miami X Katana zero
Great game, super juicy and challenging. It pushes for precise gameplay that rewards good real-time decision making, def recommend it
This game looked promising with it's Hotline Miami x Ghostrunner style but after beating it in mere hours (non-Steam copy) the myriad of problems left a bad taste in my mouth. Starting with issue number 1: This game is abandoned. Last "update" was January 26, 2023 which was just an announcement stating that the game was entering Early Access. Nothing happened to this game since then so despite the Early Access tag just consider this the full and final release. If you "got the game elsewhere" (wink wink) don't bother getting it on Steam like I did because there aren't even any achievements or trading cards. Issue number 2: It's really short. Let's just say the price matches the playtime. Issue number 3: It may look like some kind of Cyber-Hotline Miami but lacks the story that Hotline Miami had. There is some environmental storytelling but that's really it. Issue number 4: It's basically top-down Ghostrunner Lite without the wallruns, platforming, scenery, upgrades and dialogue (or any story for that matter). Walk up to enemy to slice or enter a slo-mo to deflect enemy bullets. Unlike Ghostrunner you're gonna deflect 99% of bullets because there's just no benefit in walking up to an enemy for that katana action. Issue number 5: The Steam reviews are useless considering most of them were posted in the week/month of the game's release with future updates in mind. The playtime of those reviews should tell you a lot about the game too. Issue number 6: The music and sound effects are just.... too generic. Turn down the game audio and put on some synthwave of your own. All in all pretty good for a solo developer and I really would've given it a positive review if it weren't for the fact that the developer completely abandoned it without mentioning anywhere on the store page and the reviews are so outdated that you don't learn anything from those either. By the way, during Steam Spring Sale 2024 I bought it for a whopping 88 cents. Don't pay full price, this developer is clearly not worth it
Wicked fun. The mechanics of the game are rewarding to get the hang of. Great style with excellent VFX and level design. Excited for more.
