HyperParasite

HyperParasite is a great twinstick shooter and rogue-lite. I also own this game on the Nintendo Switch™, which I have heaps of hours on. It's challenging for sure and using the different characters makes it extra fun. This version is of course far better that the switch and is just fun to keep on playing for ages. Recommend for sure if you're up for a bit of challenge and enjoy the rogue-lite genre.

Roguelike con vista aerea y 3D con una mecánica muy innovadora. Cuando ves que puedes jugar con cada uno de los enemigos del juego y cada uno tiene sus ataques especiales, y propietarios ademas de sus estadisticas te das cuenta que estás ante un juego engendrado con mucho cariño. Un paseo por los 70/80 a base de palizas y mucha habilidad. El sistema de progreso hace que no haya tanta frustración cuando mueres, muy recomendado.

game is sick

Un gioco dal sapore anni 80 in tutti i suoi aspetti, dalla grafica, alla giocabilità, alla trama. Mentre ci gioco mi sembra di rivivere quei momenti in cui ero in sala giochi a nerdare e spendere soldi a furia di inserire coins per cercare di finire il gioco a tutti i costi. Di sicuro non è un gioco per tutti, ma credo sia stata la volontà degli sviluppatori, non lo definirei difficile, ma da comprendere bene per giocarlo al meglio. Molte sono le cose che devi scoprire e che per fortuna non ti spoilera niente e nessuno nel gioco, insomma da avere assolutamente nella propria collezione!

Updating my review to a full recommendation based on them adding the "Wrong Millennium" Mode (the one with a pacifier icon). This 'fixes' the major upgrade problem by unlocking all the characters from the start. (Not in the Switch version.) Here's my original review: Mixed feeling about this one. The base gameplay is very good and that's usually enough to keep me playing. Also has nice graphics, neat looking aesthetics and the music is good too. The problem is the progression system is an abject failure. You'll basically be playing the first level over and over and most will never see beyond it. Even if you don't value your time and grind till you make it, it will be short lived since no characters are unlocked on level 2 so it's just a matter of time before you're expected to start over grinding level one again. And it is starting over. Not like a real rogue where you become more powerful over time. No, although you do collect brains you still have to pay to unlock them. Which means having to endlessly break barrels and boxes to collect cash, sigh. The devs responded to criticism by suggesting to 'freeze' characters so you can use them in the next level, but that's complete bs. They need to fix the game not make us do endless grinding, convoluted unlocking schemes and mental gymnastics only the dev appreciates. You can see by the achievements that hardly anyone makes it very far in this game. Only 29% even kill 100 enemies. The game is inexpensive so normally I wouldn't care except the base game is actually really fun. Such a shame that with just a little more tweaking HyperParasite could have been something special. Am leaving a 'Yes' recommendation since there's so many good things going on here and fun to be had. However if you value your time and you won't be satisfied unless you complete the game, I'd pass.

This game is brilliant!
