Hypercharge: Unboxed comes from developer Digital Cybercherries with a new premise and a wide variety of gameplay options. At its core, the game is a first-person shooter with a few twists and turns.
You not only have to survive in the classic deathmatch mode as a soldier, more specifically as a toy soldier, but also survive waves of attacks with tower defense leanings. The fact that you act as a small figure in the world of humans gives the game a unique setting.
In the Tower Defense sections, fortresses must be secured against attack waves, with the available resources being limited. The first wave is the easiest, but it does not allow access to defense facilities. In the following rounds, numerous traps and barriers can be built with the coins that can be collected or earned in the levels. Compared to other games of this genre, Hypercharge: Unboxed offers gambling elements that can influence the course of the game. In each level you can find a slot machine and bet 25 coins that would otherwise be used to repair the defense facilities. The bet can pay off big, as you don't have to worry about the next round and the costs for securing and repairing the protective measures are almost non-existent. This game mechanic can also be turned off if you would rather rely on skill than luck.
Deathmatch is exactly what the name suggests, but with a more hectic course due to the smaller environments. Instead of constant fire, sometimes close combat in combination with fast movement is required. Hypercharge: Unboxed gives players a good sense of speed while racing, something not every game manages to do.
The controls are no less impressive and benefit from the well-thought-out assignment of the buttons. The trigger buttons aim and shoot, while the bumpers jump and run. The face buttons operate the menu and the interaction in the game world. The controls are intuitive and there is even optional gyro control for faster aiming. Another unique feature that sets Hypercharge: Unboxed apart from other shooters is the free roam mode. Players can get to know the level, familiarize themselves with the game mechanics and develop the best strategy for each level.
Hypercharge: Unboxed has a lot to offer in terms of audio and visuals. The sound does an excellent job of underscoring the battles and each weapon sounds different. The ambient noise does the rest to pull the player even deeper into the game. The graphics are just as good and detail the game world with lots of reflections. The frame rate never falters and is always constant.
Hypercharge: Unboxed can be a quick game for a break or keep you glued to the screen for hours, as you can switch between deathmatch and tower defense after each level.
