Hypercharge: Unboxed (stylized HYPERCHARGE: Unboxed) is a cooperative first-person shooter video game, developed and published by British indie studio Digital Cybercherries for Microsoft Windows and Nintendo Switch. It was released on the Nintendo eShop on January 31, 2020.[1]

The game takes place in familiar locations such as bedrooms, garages, bathrooms, hallways and toy stores. Each player assumes the role of an action figure, who must defend parts of their territory from dangerous enemies.[2]

Gameplay

Hypercharge: Unboxed is a first-person shooter with tower defense elements set in suburban home environments. It is played from a first-person perspective. Most of the gameplay is built around constructing defences, combat, exploration and character customization.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9]

The game's combat is mainly ranged-based. Players can use attachments for different weapons, which can be found scattered throughout each level. It has a heavy focus on cooperative gameplay and the game features a four player, co-operative multiplayer mode.[10]

While traversing each map, players find various supplies and items, such as batteries, weapons, attachments and credits. Batteries are used to power turrets and traps, attachments give each weapon a perk and credits are for being able to construct defences.

Development

Digital Cybercherries were awarded an Unreal Dev Grant which helped to further fund Hypercharge: Unboxed.[11] It is built in the Unreal Engine 4.
