Hypercharge Test: Unboxed – The game that will cheer up the child in you

Hypercharge: Unboxed it’s a fun and nostalgic FPS/TPS action title which comes to us from the hand of Digital Cybercherries. A miniature adventure that will delight all audiences. We hope that you enjoy this analysis that you are about to read in the same way. Without further ado, here we go:

Hypercharge: Unboxed is not a typical shooter

To start, let’s talk about what makes the difference Hypercharge: Unboxed. Here we don’t control a burly demon-slaying space marine, nor a US army soldier. None of that here. We are a 90s action figure versus other action figures (humanoids, drones and even spinning tops in the style of classic anime Beyblade). These will seek to destroy certain cores that we must protect during our lives with a team of 3 additional players, controlled by AI or by online/local people. We will fight in environments like toy stores, living rooms or even air hockey tableswhich of course will look huge compared to the small size of our figurine.

Another essential feature of this game is the possibility of choosing the point of view that we like the most, whether in the first or third person. You already know how the perspective of an adventure can change depending on whether you’ve chosen a first-person or third-person camera. GOOD Unpacked It gives you both options so you can enjoy the game as you want, being able to change the view at any time while we are in the game, simply by pressing the B button.

Very varied game modes

Hypercharge: Unboxed It offers us two main aspects of the game: cooperative and competitive. On the cooperative side, we have a fun story mode with hilarious little cutscenes

between missions. We can play these missions alone, or locally/online with other players. The objective will be, as I mentioned above, to defend the cores (which are recharged with batteries that we must collect around the stage) from waves of enemy dolls. In the next section, I will talk about an important addition that this mode includes.

And now, moving on to the competitive side, we find different classic game modes, such as typical Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Infection, Zone Control, etc. In these we will face other players online or controlled by AI if we wish. As a bonus, there are a few additional mini-games to play with another player in local mode, where we will control tops or tanks and our only mission will be to beat our console companion. All of this is very good, it’s wonderful to have so many options to taste for all tastes. However, It’s missing more competitive game modes and some type of progression with levels, unlocks, etc. since this is only available in the story.

Hypercharge: Unboxed contains additional collectibles and objectives so you don’t get bored

Hypercharge: Unboxed He has prepared a great gift for us in the story mode, which will undoubtedly significantly extend its duration. In each mission we play we will have several collectibles available in the form of items and coins distributed throughout the region, as well as secondary objectives which could consist of turning off a PC that is in the room, shooting at hidden targets or placing stickers in specific locations, among other things. All this will give us different skins for our characters and weapons or traps to place in the cores that we are charged with protecting.

It is not necessary to complete this series of tasks, although it will be almost essential to do at least some of them in order to obtain better traps for our cores. Skins won’t give us any advantage, but who doesn’t like to look great and show off that new cosmetic we got? Additionally, the story won’t last too long if you decide to skip the secondary objectives.

Personalize your doll and make it your favorite

The customization of this shooter is very well done. We can choose between several dolls and change their heads and the colors of their “armor” and their weapon. But it doesn’t stop there, and obviously, an action toy has to come out of its corresponding box, which we can also personalize.

At the start of each game, we appear inside these boxes. There we will find different improvements for our weapons, which we can purchase with the resources obtained during the game.

Continuing with the latter, Weapons have various accessories or upgrades that can only be implemented during a game, whether cooperative or competitive. That is, you cannot add attachments to a weapon before starting a fight and leave them permanently. Sights, stocks, magazines and even other weapons are some of the adjustments that can be added to our weapons. Yes, it is possible, for example, to have a hunting rifle and a machine gun in the same weapon, or even a sniper and an assault rifle. This can be activated by simply pressing the Y button.

At a splendid technical level

The graphics of Hypercharge: Unboxed They will surprise you more than you think. Certainly realistic environments and very well detailed toys and weapons come together to offer us a beautiful visual section. This is not something very photorealistic and it is not necessary for obvious reasons. Even with that, it’s not that far either. The environments will be full of references to other franchises video games or movies, or classic toys that we all know or have enjoyed at some point.

In the same way, In terms of sound, we find effects that remind us of our childhood and music that fits like a glove to each game. The dubbing, although in perfect English, is just as exceptional,

and there is no shortage of Spanish dubbing either due to the few conversations we will hear. Of course, the texts are read entirely in our language.

And the last thing I want to comment on the technical section of this title is its excellent optimization. You will experience a rock-stable 60fps speed with a graphic level that leaves nothing to be desired, as I already mentioned, and quite fast loading screens in general.

Hypercharge: Unboxed will unpack your inner child

In finishing this analysis, we will leave with a quick conclusion of Hypercharge: Unboxed. You are faced with a game with lots of nostalgic flavor that will give you many hours of fun without great aspirations, beyond make us have a good time alone or with our friends online or locally, and damn, he understands. You have at your disposal several very different game modes, including a curious story mode with many collectibles and secondary objectives. All with very advanced customization and a fairly high technical and general optimization level. Plus, being able to switch between a first and third person view seems like as juicy an incentive as it is necessary. to make any type of player feel comfortable.

However, there are always negative points that need to be commented on. In this case, I consider that More content could be added like maps or competitive game modes, as well as a progression system when playing these. This would prevent it from being just simple games with no rewards, as this can tire you out considerably quickly.
