Play Overview
Hypercharge: Unboxed (2020) is a shooting game where you play a small toy from the 1990s in human-sized arenas like a toy shop, back garden and a garage. It combines base defence play with exploration and collection running and jumping in a wide range of single player, co-operative and competitive battles.
Your aim is to prevent the hyper-core from being destroyed by fighting off toy enemies and building defences. The enemies come in waves and try to destroy hyper-core and if they succeed then you lose. You start the game next to the hyper-core and are given a set time to use your gold coins to build defences. This starts with basic Lego-style walls and guns, but you can unlock castle walls, glue traps and toy gun sentry units as you progress. You can also build toys and towers that provide additional ways to combat the waves of enemies.
During the match, you can switch between your stock of weapons, or pick up new guns hidden in the stages. You can also purchase items and upgrade your weapons using gold coins dropped by enemies and found in the levels.
In addition to the single player mode, you can play a co-operative and player versus player mode. This offers battles where you fight enemies directly rather than defend your base. This is extended further by the Plague mode where an infected player has to hunt down and infect others.
This results in a game that offers a great alternative to the more realistic and violent shooting games. It's combination of Toy Story style visuals, multiplayer modes and fun challenges make it great for families.
