    HyperParasite delivers an enjoyable, well-rounded roguelite experience on the Nintendo Switch. While it stumbles at times, the addictive gameplay, unapologetic 80’s references, and unique approach to the genre help dull the pain of its limited, sometimes-repetitive level design.

    My time spent with HyperParasite was a lot of fun. Aside from the difficulty at times, it was enjoyable to take over host bodies. Being able to take over people and use different abilities kept the game feeling fresh. HyperParasite is definitely worth the asking price of $17.99.

The game froze / crashed a couple of times with which rendered in that we get to replay from the beginning. Put the game on high resolution and enjoy the game and music. But it won't be that much more fun. The co-op mode makes it more fun but it doesn't get any easier.… Full Review »
