Description
Your Enemies Are Your Extra Lives!

A new menace has appeared to a war-torn planet Earth, and this time the threat is global: a parasitic alien organism that can possess humans and use their abilities to wreak unfathomable havoc. No one knows the whereabouts of this dangerous invader except you… because YOU are the HyperParasite!

HyperParasite is a relentless top-down twin-stick shooter that’s different every time you play it. Your ability to discard one human host and take control of another means that the possibilities are practically limitless—each character type has different strengths, weaknesses, capabilities and weapons.

Features
  • Players can inhabit any of 60 different human hosts and use their weapons / special abilities!
  • Multiple character classes with different stats!
  • Procedurally generated levels with different gameplay objectives and secrets, ensuring high replayability!
  • Shared-screen 2P cooperative gameplay!
  • Nostalgic 3D pixelated art style with absurdly bright neon colors!
  • Set in a world inspired by the roaring ’80s with a dash of dystopia!

Repetitive as any roguelike

There is an intro and an outro. That's about all the story you get. There are two game modes, normal and one where you can try different characters, but can't unlock any! In normal mode you try and try again, die and start again a lot to gather money to unlock new characters. Enemies are characters that you could potentially possess if your host gets killed, so that you survive longer. If you lose the host, the parasite is VERY vulnerable and you die quickly. There are upgrades you can get and buy. My problem was the second boss. Even when I hacked a savegame to give myself 900 HP instead of the 20 I had, I still died... (For the last boss 8000 HP wasn't enough... Hits you multiple times for -200 HP in a way that you can't escape. Even the superhero host only has 110 HP.) So yeah, you need to either avoid all damage or be very quick about finding a new hosts. I played 7 hours plus 4 after the hack.
