The charm won me over initially and I was quite excited to play, the character designs are fun, the presentation is great, but where this game dies for me is the actual gameplay and progression. The movement is floaty and awkward, the gunplay isn't particularly satisfying, there's no abilities, no items or throwables, most enemies are spongey, there are no classes or differences between the characters, no leveling …

For $44 you get the complete game, and the joy of playing with your three sons to live out your Toy Story: Apocalypse fantasies on the same screen. My only gripe is that there’s no explosives/specials for when you’re in the ♥♥♥♥, and you can’t mix/match body parts from toys to create a custom toy, just pick a base theme and color—sure you can customize the head, but I was hoping to have arms/head/body/legs …

It’s like Toy Story... but you’re the action figure, and war is real. Hypercharged: Unboxed isn’t just a game—it’s a time machine. One second you’re in your room, the next you're back to being a kid, imagining epic battles between toys while the world outside forgets you exist. It’s the kind of game that makes you remember lining up your action figures, building forts out of shoeboxes, and giving them personalities …

This game is severely underplayed. It is so much fun, think of it as a tower defense, Green Army Men, Toy Story crossover. Getting together accross platforms with friends and spending an evening running around a bathrroom or a kitchen, laughing at all the little play on words on the bottles and the names of the toys that are almost, but not quite, nearly copyright infringing. Many different cosmetic characters and …

It's really hard to believe that this game was made by 5-6 people. It just has so much polish. I originally bought it on the Switch years ago when it first released and thought it was a neat little game, and coming back to it now, it feels like a complete package. If you like the vibe of Toy Story or Small Soldiers, you're going to love this game. The graphics alone are unreal. Everything in this game, from the …

81% of the 170 Steam reviewers we collected recommend HYPERCHARGE: Unboxed. The complaint that keeps coming up: gameplay loop is repetitive and enemies are spongey. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Hypercharge: Unboxed received "generally favorable" reviews from critics for the Xbox Series X version, while the Nintendo Switch version received "mixed or average" reviews, according to review aggregator website Metacritic. Fellow review aggregator OpenCritic assessed that the game received fair approval, being recommended by 73% of critics. Kotaku commended the game for its mechanics, noting, "what is here is solid. Guns feel good, enemies react when you shoot them, and movement is fast and snappy." Similarly, Nintendo Life highlighted its multiplayer appeal, stating, "Great fun if you can muster together enough friends." It was awarded first place in IndieDB's Players Choice Indie of…

There are some great couch co-op games out there, BUT NOT NEARLY ENOUGH. Seriously, the number of goddamn games that expect you to HAVE TWO COMPUTER AND TWO SCREENS SO YOU CAN PLAY CO-OP WITH SOMEONE ELSE IS TOO DAMN HIGH. /endrant I highly recommend Broforce, any of the Larian studio games (Divinity Original Sin, Baldur's Gate 3 etc..), Battleblock…

Everywhere you look is just chock full of details and everything is so much fun to look at/read. The customization is awesome and so creative, I love the packaging options the entire theme of being action figures is absolutely killer. This game really deserves a sequel, 10,000/10.

The creativity and imagination behind this game are off the charts — it really feels like diving into the kind of epic toy battles I dreamed about as a kid. The environments are fun and nostalgic, the combat is satisfying, and the whole vibe is just super charming. Even without co-op, the game holds up incredibly well. Can’t wait to try it with…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i never like leaving actual negative reviews, but i do feel the need for this one if only to clear up potential confusion for new buyers. the game had a bit more of an emphasis on the "tower defense" aspect in the advertisement in the past than it currently seems to do which makes sense because despite the tags it's not very much of a tower defense game. you defend a base, but (at least in the 6 hours me and a friend played together) you don't have really any towers to defend the base, only…

You can literally read the text on basically everything.. shipping labels, shampoo bottles, toy boxes, everything has readable text and details that are hilarious and it testifies to the love and care that the devs have. And massive respect that it not only supports 4 player split-screen, but also 4 player split-screen online?! Who does…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hypercharge is fun. It's an interesting combination of a tower-defense and a shooter game. It can be played in first or third person, with or without friends. It's got a small yet fun story that you experience as you play through the levels. There are quite a few levels and a moderate assortment of buildings to defend with. The guns aren't too bad either. I do hope they open the game up to workshop support, letting people get creative with maps and new buildings could support long term…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Such an underrated game, I was hooked on this from the start. If anybody wants to play, let me know, but be warned, one of the toys shoved a battery up my butt, so when I fart, my character spazzes out. Don't be alarmed, I'm just having a little electric shock through my body.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is genuinely so fun and the Devs have added so much cool stuff and it's genuinely a shame people would rather buy yet another call of duty over something like this that has so much love and effort put into it.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A pretty great game, especially if you grab it on sale. Not too complicated and if you've ever played a tower defense FPS you'll be right at home. The collectibles and little challenges are a fun way to extend playtime and the game only gets better with friends.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fun one for sure, it fills the joy I had with army soldiers back in the day. The visuals are great and is fantastic for casual play too. being able to change your weapon attachments in mission is nice. I only do the coop though. The maps are really cool.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Almost all reviews of this game are bots. Here’s the real deal: BAD 1. No custom loadout/ weapon customization 2. No Voice chat 3. No name display so don’t even know who is in your team 4. Movement is VERY clunky 5. TAKES FOREVER to find lobbies (game is already dead for PvP, you play with bots 95% of time) 6. Why TF is triangle or Y the button used to go back. Controls NEEDS to be worked on. 7. DESPERATELY needs a better reward/ progression system. You shoot for fun and nothing to reward…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you enjoy a mix of tower defense, fps, and mini figures, then this is your game! One of my favorite parts are how it rewards exploration in each map. No micro transactions means everything in game is unlocked via finding secrets or just through gameplay alone. The game starts in a given map with a small prep phase where you can explore to collect build credits, find collectibles, and then build your defenses up before the first wave begins. After which you wont be able to build anymore…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its okay but gets repitive after about an hour. I really love the concept and would love to see how they would do with a 2nd game, id be willing to give that one a try. But this one I cant recommend.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Super shallow and clunky. None of the weapons feel good to shoot and the enemy variety is a little lacking. Build mode is annoying and exploration isn't interesting. For how much work and release date baiting ive seen on their socials, it feels like the devs kinda just asset dumped and called it a day. Feels like a roblox game, which it would be an impressive game on that platform

It’s like someone had a cool idea—toy soldiers in a chaotic kid’s room—but then forgot to actually make the game fun to play. Let’s start with the Time to Kill (TTK), which is absolutely brutal. I’m not talking about the good kind of brutal, where you can outplay two guys with some crisp aim. I’m…

This would also be great fun at a LAN-party or any party in general! Make sure to adjust the FOV in the options to your liking (it was too narrow for me at first)…
