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.
