Kickstarter For Switch Twin-Stick Shooter HyperParasite Launches Next Week

NO!

NO!

Remember when this site did weekly Kickstarter articles? Wow that was a long time ago, during the dark ages....

Looked decent at first, but they lost me when the words RogueLike showed up in the trailer. Pass.

Guys, give it a go on Steam. It’s a cracking game, the visuals are purposefully ramped back in like an ode to PS One styled titles.

If you’re old enough to remember Smash TV, you’ll love this.

That train has passed

Dead Cells is the last procedurally generated game I’m gonna do. I’m over them.

Tough crowd!

This actually looks quite good. Switch has a lot of twin stick shooters but not many great ones. Hopefully this will turn out well.

@OorWullie I love how people judge without even giving the pre-alpha a whirl. We only take quality titles on at Hound Picked Games, I stand by this with HyperParasite, it’s a great title.

I am not sure from the video if I would like this or not. I do know that I am getting tired of rogue like games and Kickstarter campaigns.

Just let it go. A big No! To roguelikes and pixel art and anything like that.

Looks like the Venom symbiote. Hopefully it’s not a turd in the wind.

@dew12333 You okay there bud?

@AlternateButtons looks like the game is 3D,. Also, Owl Boy IS pixel-art.

Don't know if this game is cool or not, but sure as hell I'll give it a shot. I got a soft spot for all things 80s and roguelikes/lites.

I'm confused as to how this is a kixkstarter now? I saw the trailer for this game just as a releasea couple of months ago.

@Steel76 Agreed, it's utter garbage. If i read that i instantly lose interest.

I don't really understand what's wrong with people and roguelike/lite games: it's a genre like any other. We could say there are too many FP shooters, too many racing simulations, too many MOBA, too many Battle Royale, etc. If you don't like it, move on and play your favourite genre...

Hard pass. I'll call the taxi.

Hi Luca, apologies if I came off sounding rude, I know making games is tough and didn’t intend to offend. I’ve given a few RogueLike games a try but I’ve come to the conclusion it’s a genre that isn’t for me. Along with the growing popularity of SoulsLike difficult games.

I’d give the beta a try on Steam, but my laptop just died and my PC died last year. I honestly have no desire to replace them as I really don’t have a need for a computer these days.

Best of luck with your game!

Hi, Obviously to expand on the rather short comment, ignore the double post it was not to 'shout' my opinion, just a double tap.

With regards to the game it is more that this is not a type of game 'I' tend to play, but I actually like the look of the game and wish the industry would stop spending time of aesthetics and care more about the gameplay. I can see that lots of people would enjoy the frantic pace of the game, and it also looks like you have expanded and added some depth to this style of game. However I think a demo would be a much fairer way of judging how the game plays and feels. Unfortunately I only have a switch so couldn't help any further, but wish you the best of the luck.

But my main reason to comment is with regard to 'crowdfunding' , I just don't like this business model and hear too many indifferent stories of people experiences.
