Earlier this year, Digital Cybercherries launched its wave-based toy box shooter, HYPERCHARGE: Unboxed. Since then, the game has received a major update based on player feedback, and now the developer has rolled out a demo on the Switch, so users can try before they buy.
Considering the demo is entirely free, it's an incredibly good offering as it allows you to try out multiple modes including the tutorial, PvE Garage mode, PvE mode, free roam, and split-screen option. Here's the official announcement:
On release, we gave HYPERCHARGE: Unboxed seven out of ten stars and said it was worth checking out:
If you consider the fairly sparse selection of FPS titles on the Switch, Hypercharge: Unboxed is a genuinely tempting prospect, boasting solid gameplay that is an absolute blast with friends. There are a few issues with the gameplay that may need addressing with patches, and as a whole the game feels like a bit of a walk in the park for the most part, but otherwise it’s an impressive, unique title that you’d do well to check out.
Will you be trying out this demo? Leave a comment down below.

I tried the demo on PC and Switch now.
PC: Max settings. 112-120 fps at 1440p
Switch. 30 fps in portable, but gfx looks very good.
Very good port and one of the best looking Switch games perhaps.
It looks as good as the screenshots in this article.
Oh good, now I can finally take a look at it. The game has been interesting me for a while but not enough to buy it yet.
I miss those days with demo discs on magazines.
This seems like proper advertising so kudos to these devs.
I will give it a shot and also i'm going to try to beat hyper all death wish bosses without easy mode wish me luck
Easy to get-in and get-out of the game + gyroscope aiming... currently 50+ hours on my switch, i wish more players are playing this game so that I can try 8-player deathmatches and more 4-player coop for experts. Just buy the game! It’s fun for chill and doing flawless runs! - though I think it has less content for solo players, they are still updating the game for that feature...
@Snatcher if you're tryin to do it solo, GOOD LUCK. it's damn near impossible. need homies
@SoManyHaveDied i'm on switch i'm soo F*uckt.
@Spanish_Bread You should join the games discord server. There are often people putting a group together to have enough people to play with so instead of just waiting for an online game to pop up, you could just get a party together via the discord
Been interested in this for a while so this is great!
@OptometristLime
"There are a few issues with the gameplay that may need addressing with patches"
I am not sure that is the best advertising but all the rest is great.
@Yanina yeah, most of them are garbage ware, but having a demo was just fun
@Yanina yeah 4.99 and sometimes be some great demos ps1 era. I used to want nintendo offical mag to put a cartridge of demos with mag but i could only dream! 😂
I'm still waiting for a physical release. But at least I can try it out now.
@Kalmaro me too! I actually thought of the game just a few days ago. I was wondering what happened to it. I was very interested when it came out but somehow with new releases I totally forgot about it since then.
I bought this game at launch and really love it. Glad more people will be checking it out.
It's just too bad they picked Garage as the demo level as I feel it's one of the weaker levels.
Female action figures to play as and a demo were some of the things i hoped they added and they did. Great game with even greater features, its so rare you to find people that offer such rich features like nintendo or the arms game makers.
Once they make single player more approachable with tomagachi and happy meal pets lol to aid you in battle while playing solo itll be perfect.
Nice I’ve been looking at this for a while
I can't try out wireless local play on this demo?
It's a fun multiplayer shooter that actually bothers to be a decent game offline which is very important for me as a portable game. Only issue was the very ambitious update/development schedule the developers set out for themselves promising to add a ton of new content every month. They definitely slowed down from that, but luckily this demo release also introduced a new update.
