    I’d highly recommend HYPERVIOLENT to anyone who grew up playing System Shock or Doom, it’s immediately clear that HYPERVIOLENT understands what made those games special. It captures that same raw energy and stripped back design in a way that still manages to feel nostalgic, even for someone like me. It confidently embraces that old school identity.

    Imagine waking up in a remote mining colony on an asteroid, only to realize that everyone has turned into a twitching, blood-flecked meat-puppet. HYPERVIOLENT is a brutal, "brutal-ist" throwback to the golden age of sprite-based shooters, but it feels less like a nostalgic trip and more like a feverish, industrial nightmare. It blends the fast-paced, 2.5D chaos of Doom with a heavy dose of System Shock-style dread, …

    Also, a very niche boomshoot just left early access. Hyperviolent is for the kind of sickos who think that a fusion of the original DOS System Shock and Descent 1 sounds like a cool idea. There's almost no concessions to modern, slick & polished game design. This is trying to evoke real retro vibes

    Oh, this month still has a few surprises for me Aethermancer launched into early access. A creature-collector roguelike with some really nice sprite art and I recall the demo was pretty satisfying. Oh. And the new Bennett Foddy fumblecore game, Baby Steps, is out today later. And Hyperviolent too.

    Firstly, Hyperviolent probably shot itself in the foot with the title - the name implies something OTT and extreme like Ultrakill, but Hyperviolent is far more similar to System Shock. It's slow, methodical and strategic - expect to be reading logs and doing a lot of survival horror style inventory management. Preserving resources is also key in this game, although it sadly doesn't make that clear enough to prepare you for just how key it is. This leads to why I've given a thumbs down. I was…

I was waiting for this game to hit 1.0, but unfortunately, I don't think i'll play it all that much and I can't recommend it to anyone.

    Can't believe they pulled this off in GameMaker. Yeah, it has technical limitations, hard cap at 60FPS is annoying, but doesn't bother me too much, it still plays fine for me. I had to turn the headsway off to avoid motion sickness, but fortunately the option was there. The gameplay overall is really enjoyable, if you're looking for a shooter where you have to think a bit, instead of just rushing forward into an arena after arena and blasting rockets every which way.

    "Man's reach exceeding his grasp." It's an apropos line from Mass Effect 2's Overlord DLC, spoken by Dr. Archer about the operation he's overseen and how it's spiraled into chaos. Hyperviolent is a System Shock-style survival horror immersive sim that thinks it's a adrenaline-pumping mid-90s FPS. Meaning that gameplay in general is slow, methodical, and strategic. You're not Doomguy punching through zombies and demons, you're a space patrol officer in over your head on a haunted mining colony.…

    GARBAGE with identity issues. the game seems to not know what it wants to be; a boomer shooter with survival horror elements or a survival horror game with the fundamental gameplay of a boomer shooter. does it want to be action packed with enemies around every corner? or does it want you to hang in suspense with every encounter? i don't know either, since no enemies have no sound prompts when attacking or activated. are the enemies like zombies? why are zombies hitting with 100% accuracy…

    aiming doesn't matter. guns just spray randomly anyway. same for enemies. sometimes they can't hit you, sometimes they nail you across a room before you have a chance to react. it just feels bad when resource management is meaningless due to RNG. there is also no way to reload your weapon manually. you have to empty your clip to reload automatically. it's complete nonsense. I don't care what they were going for with that. It's just stupid. I tried for a 3rd time to give this game a chance but…

    While Hyperviolent suffers from more than a few issues right now and it is by no means an excuse after being in EA for two years, I can easily recommend it right now for 3 main reasons: Most issues upon 1.0 have been fixed and the devs are super helpful. The cancer that was the Fulqrum Publishing launcher has been removed! The game even if a bit simple and repetitive nails in my opinion that retro vibe, which is reminiscent of the original System Shock.

    After diving into Hyperviolent for a few hours, it’s clear the game carves out its own niche within the boomer shooter scene by breaking away from classic genre conventions. While it stumbles here and there, preventing a fully smooth experience, the core design choices show real promise. With some refinement and updates during its early access phase, this title has the potential to stand out strongly among its peers.

    They're going for some kind of "immersive sim" System Shock Lite, but the art is muddy and unintelligible, and the aiming and hit detection are downright terrible. I can't tell what I'm pointing at or which shots are connecting.

The beginning of the game got me hooked, the music hooked me, the vibes hooked me. I thought this is cool this is acidy. Sadly it never returned. The controls are weird, it took me quite some time to get used to it with the mouse. At some point in the game I got a sniper-like weapon and the area was open big but beautiful in its own way.

    It's been a while since I spent this much time on a game I didn't really enjoy to play. Lets get started with the good stuff. Soundtrack is pretty solid. The developer clearly had ambition. There are moments of fun in there like a short ship section that feels like Descent and plays decently. But then the negative news. First of the ambition doesn't pay up. Game runs only 60fps which is fine, but then there is a level that just doesn't run well. It runs like 25-45fps and feels unresponsive at…

    The thing that caught my attention the most and made me try this game was its mix of System Shock like walking sections and Descent-style flying ones. Really unique stuff, never saw a game mix those up together. Unfortunately, the 6DOF segments make up only a small fraction of the game - most of the time, you’re playing the shooter part. Still, it’s not bad: the dual-wielding system is fun, the sprite work is nice, and some weapons are genuinely interesting like the neurotether However,…

    Should you buy this game? No. Why shouldn't you buy it? It tries lots of different things and fails at them along with having lots of bugs and incredibly bad designs. Examples? Every weapon has durability like it's an rpg, which isn't something you want in a boomer shooter, so you will need to make sure you have material to repair your weapons. It might not sound too bad, but there is only two ways of getting materials: -Hope you find it on the map/enemies drop it (which is rare)…

    Really not bad. Its a mix of System shock and the first Doom. You have inventory management, weapons and stats improvements, many lore pieces scattered around on datapads that also have the purpose to solve some puzzles or unlock terminals. Shooting is solid, headshots matter, elemental damage does its job and the pace is nice, mixing eploration moments to more concitated ones. The level design is fine, plenty of secrets and shares the old Doom formula of "find the key, return to door" but in a…

Sir, this is a shooter, unacceptable. - You can't swap weapons with number keys, you have to open the inventory and drag them to the slots, this doesn't pause the game.

    Decent old school shooter which has its moments from original Doom and such. Map design and gameplay are mediocre, but still fun to shoot your way through and figure out the story reading data-pads. Not very long experience and doesn't hold the player's hand, which is nice. Inventory is quite small and the roleplay mechanics are mainly inventory's micro managing, which isn't fun - more like clumsy. Sound design and soundtrack are great, and graphics also serves the oldish style well, but…

    Imagine waking up in a remote mining colony on an asteroid, only to realize that everyone has turned into a twitching, blood-flecked meat-puppet. HYPERVIOLENT is a brutal, "brutal-ist" throwback to the golden age of sprite-based shooters, but it feels less like a nostalgic trip and more like a feverish, industrial nightmare. It blends the fast-paced, 2.5D chaos of Doom with a heavy dose of System Shock-style dread, forcing you to navigate dark, flickering corridors where the walls are literally…

    My play time may seem too short to adequately or reliably leave a review. I can't tell if I'm missing something critical to playing the game *itself*. The user interface is so unintuitive that my (already unreliable and medically disabled) brain can not wrap my mind around the inventory system, the weapon equipment system, switching weapons, reloading by "holding R and clicking left or right mouse button" to reload a weapon in my hands. The idea seemed intriguing. Like others who have reviewed…

    Will the classic Doom clones epidemic ever end? | KAMGUSTA's MINI REVIEW Here we go again, with another classic Doom (System Shock?) clone/variation, featuring the usual eye-blinding 2d sprites enemies, poorly laid out maps, terrible audio sounds, unrealistic physics, and so on. At least this time developers tried something original, adding a (small) inventory, a sort of story, a Descent like vehicle and a little atmosphere... but failed to make anything featured "good enough". Sadly, the only…

    Hyper Meh Bad design , bad pace, bad everything. That's why no body play this. I prefer classic doom that was made in 1993 over this 2025 game. even it's 30+ years with more modern tech it's still that bad.

    The game is decent. Not ground-breaking, but definitely enjoyable for a single playthrough. Not perfect, but updates are coming (albeit slowly). In combat, the dual-wielding is fun (as is whacking zombies with a severed hand, ngl). The story is no Shakespeare, but it's fun, and the space station has SO MUCH atmosphere. Plus a lot of the things I've seen in negative reviews have been fixed (there IS 1440p now, you CAN turn off the head bobbing, bloom and other stuff), so definitely deserves my…

    its kinda a pretty garbage survival horror game that feels like it was sloppily built into the doom engn. guns have a miss chance in this game even shotguns at point blank for each pellet so you can miss all or all but 1 shot even with the crosshair on target. rui is some of the worst cool conceptual but poorly designed stuff i have seen and over all aiming mouse controls feel both super stuff and too fast even with tweaking. hell the camera has a almost brain killing lean effect even at the…

    While very appealing visually and in raw gameplay, a large number of extremely unintuitive mechanics, lack of basic QOL features, and persistent gamebreaking bugs make this a non-starter. A shame, because it has some of the best boomer-shooter potential out there - but it does not deliver.

    HYPERVIOLENT – A Brutal Love Letter to Classic FPS Chaos If DOOM, Duke Nukem 3D, and System Shock had a blood-soaked, neon-lit offspring, it would be HYPERVIOLENT. This game nails that crunchy, old-school FPS feel while adding a layer of survival horror tension that keeps you on edge. Gameplay & Combat The combat is visceral—limbs fly, blood paints the walls, and every weapon feels weighty and satisfying. The dual-wield system lets you mix and match weapons for some truly chaotic fun.…

    Played on Linux using Proton Exp, Another Game i did not like, was hoping it would be somewhat okay but no, it has some bugs (crashes sometimes), The slowest search and take stuff system I've seen yet, i think it was going for the Dos version of System Shock but fails, The Enemy sprites are so Blockly that original Dos System Shock or Dos Doom look better, Then you got the worst hit detection i have seen yet, which does not help when trying to save Ammo as it runs out real quick. Not sure what…
