The viral Toy Story-inspired shooter, Hypercharge: Unboxed, from developer Digital Cybercherries, is coming to Xbox later this month. Take charge as sentient action figures in either first-person or third-person gameplay to defeat Major Evil and save the Hypercore.
This wave-based shooter features a full-story campaign mode that can be played solo offline or in co-op with up to four people online or local split-screen. Game difficulty scales depending on the number of players in the match.
The game also features a few PvP multiplayer modes that have players defending the Hypercore with friends, surviving waves of relentless hordes of weaponized toys, or in traditional free-for-all rumble for up to eight players. The upcoming Xbox release will also feature cross-platform support with the PC version as well.
Hypercharge: Unboxed is the perfect marriage of nostalgic charm and contemporary shooter design. It’s a love letter to our childhood, where we enjoyed smashing action figures together and creating epic battles in our head – only now we can realize that vision in a fully interactive 3D world. Whether you’re playing solo or want to connect with friends, Hypercharge: Unboxed provides the perfect jolt of 90s energy!”
