Forbes. Heard of them? They’re pretty good when it comes to compiling lists, and in their most recent compilation, they’ve confirmed that HyperParasite is the number one indie title of 2020.

Developed by Troglobytes and published by Hound Picked Games, HyperParasite is a twin-stick shooter that features a whopping 60 available character classes.

We are delighted with this accolade from Forbes and we hope that more gamers will check out HyperParasite especially of course fans of this genre.

Key features in HyperParasite include:

  • A unique twist on the genre; jump from one host body to another
  • Over 60 (SIXTY!) different characters to control as host bodies
  • A unique retro 3D-pixelated aesthetic
  • Survive 5 acts of procedurally generated, grungy looking levels where secrets are hidden around every dark corner… tentacles too. 
  • Trouble loves company! Bring a mate and deliver twice the carnage in local co-op mode
  • Original beats served by Van Reeves and Joe Kataldo, delivering a thumping score with a pulsating synthwave bassline, punctuating every snatch and kill

…plus a (2018?) trailer for it:

You can pick the game up for Steam, PS4, Xbox One and Switch. The latter will have a physical edition released in February 2021.
