James writes - "We’ve probably all seen a movie or read a book about an alien entity landing on Earth with the sole purpose of decimating the planet and anything it encounters. Everyone roots for the all-action hero to save the day and for the evil alien to be eliminated at all costs. Similar situations have played out in gaming many times too, but what if you weren’t playing the hero and instead took on the role of the enemy? Well, that’s the premise of the latest twin-stick SHMUP to hit the Xbox One, HyperParasite, with you taking up the task of annihilating all life-forms. So... is it good to be bad?"
According to Forbes, HyperParasite is the best indie game you've probably never heard of. It's time to get the word out.
Hyper Parasite has more to it than first appears – the quick and easy movement system via the map is mega convenient, and there’s some really nice sequences and the range of characters keeps things interesting.
It’s not the best in class roguelike out there, but this hybrid shooter has some unique hooks and takes that offer decent replayability and entertainment throughout.
XBA says: A twin-stick shooter with a ton of personality, humor and 80's neon.
