    It has a few enjoyable features, but unless you’ve got the patience of a saint it’s probably only trying if you love the rouge-lite genre and are looking for something unique and new.

    Hypergun is filled with exciting boss fights and tons of different weapons, but the overall experience is short, repetitive and buggy. Yet, it can be considered a cheap ($15) alternative that may be fun for a few hours.

    Hypergun is an entertaining shooter best enjoyed over short bursts. While there’s a seemingly endless variety of creatable weapons, grinding run after run gets old fast. Like DevTech’s inability to make the perfect superweapon, Hypergun lacks the punch and polish needed to elevate the game to greatness.

    n many ways, HYPERGUN is like an unfinished house. It is held up by a solid foundation and looks good from the outside, but once you step inside you realize so much of what makes it function is still missing. The 80s neon aesthetic and soundtrack are great, and the fast-paced gunplay has an almost doom-like feel to it, which adds to the frantic energy. Nevertheless, that doesn’t excuse the numerous balancing issues.

    HYPERGUN isn’t frustrating for any genuine sense of difficulty, but because it fumbles game-feel and sports some obscenely long runs, averaging about an hour and a half for a full clear with no option to save and quit.
