DESCRIPTION

Hypercharge is a first and third-person shooter action figure game you’ve always dreamed of! Grab your friends, complete objectives, defend the Hypercore against waves of weaponized toys, and defeat Major Evil together in the story campaign!

HELP SGT. MAX AMMO TO DEFEAT MAJOR EVIL AND SAVE THE HYPERCORE!

There was once an ancient line of action figures, who created a magical power source that would allow humans to keep their favourite childhood memories of their toys. This ancient power source is known as the Hypercore. Inside the Hypercore are the beloved memories of our favorite toys. If Major Evil destroys it, these memories will disappear forever. Defend it with everything you’ve got, or see our cherished toys turn into lost treasures of the past!

HISTORY

We started creating Hypercharge: Unboxed back in 2015 and launched a first look through Steam Early Access in 2017. Our team is made up of folks who spent their childhoods in the ’80s and ’90s, an era filled with awesome movies like ‘Honey, I Shrunk the Kids,’ ‘Small Soldiers,’ ‘Toy Story,’ and classic games like ‘Sarge’s Heroes,’ ‘Toy Commander,’ and those unforgettable Counter-Strike 1.6 de_rat maps. These memories fueled our passion to build a game that celebrates action figures and brings back those good old vibes. The idea of exploring the world from the viewpoint of a tiny plastic toy in places that seem massive and full of adventure really excited us. It’s all about recapturing that thrill and the ever-present sense of adventure and danger!

 

 

ABOUT DIGITAL CYBERCHERRIES

To make games that entertain, innovate, and stand the test of time. We’ve had our hands in a bunch of cool projects – like New Retro Arcade: Neon, a VR trip down memory lane, and Hypercharge: Unboxed, an action figure adventure that caught the internet by storm. We’ve also spooked the gaming world with hits like DON’T SCREAM and are buzzing about our next big thing, Paranormal Tales. Making games that we and players love is what gets us up in the morning. We’re all about bringing something new and exciting to the table for gamers everywhere!
