To drink a single drop of immortal's blood...

...Is to die a thousand times over.


When thinking about games as an art form, my mind doesn't jump to cinematic epics or heavy narrative-focused blockbusters; sure, they have their place. But I gravitate toward games such as HYPER DEMON as truly something that pushes the art. Interactive media that you can get lost in with an incredibly cohesive style and theme, from the aesthetic, the music, sound effects, the gameplay, and even down to font choice, HYPER DEMON is dripping in substance. It's impressive how something can be created with such a distinct feel from just a simple menu screen. The moment I loaded the game up, I understood what HYPERDEMON was about but simultaneously understood nothing.

The intrigue hits in the same way you can feel in FromSoftware's games; it's a testament to how well designed something is when you want to find out more from such a little amount that is being shown to you.


As far as gameplay is concerned, it truly is something unique; even if you've played Devil Daggers, you've still not played this. An incomprehensible visual clutter is what it looks like, but the beauty is playing it; everything makes sense, and the more you learn about the deep mechanics, the more you can enter the flow state and appreciate what HYPER DEMON has to offer.

hey man. what if you could fit like. four times as much first person shooter on your screen.

the most intuitive, fluid, and fun fps system ever

There's so much going on, yet so little explained that can make you reach gameplay similar to what the trailers try to portray it as without ever looking up any guides or videos. Even when I reached a higher score, I still wondered how what I did was different. Maybe it's not for me, though I feel like it could have done a lot of what's on display better.

The tutorials feel like an after thought, while the rest appears like it made sense in the developers head, it's just that they did not wish to share. It's like it tried too hard to look so visually different, yet in that endeavor, many other things were overlooked or forgotten.

You also just end up with two of the same enemies that are weird to deal with around every corner while others you can go for seconds without end until they spawn again. It's a confusing enemy pool and the dynamics between some of them have this almost host pathogen relationship which if executed better would be fun to see, that being said because these things aren't even explained, I could be making observations that are completely false and only a game of coincidence.

It was a disappointing experience for me, though I went into it with high expectations. Perhaps some other people would stomach the many imperfections. At the very least I had no performance issues, so don't let my review deter you if it interests you.

Shapes and colors the likes of which i've never seen!

If this game was free, I would probably have a different opinion of it. That opinion would be one of glee and whimsy. I am left with a slight distaste in my mouth after writing that. I liked this game the most when I pressed add to cart.
