Also, while you might unlock say, the Jack Burton based sub-boss, he might not show up in your next runs as it is all random, so luck becomes a big factor in making progress. We tend to prefer a roguelite approach where you keep those upgrades such as in Rogue Legacy or, the best roguelites, Jydge and Neonchrome and because success in games like these all require you to thoroughly search levels for spare cash so that you can power up as much as possible, dying feels very frustrating.

Any skills and upgrades are lost, as well as any spare cash. However, this is a roguelike in the truest sense which means that when you die, it’s back to the start of level of one for you. Some of the better characters cost more money to unlock but you can keep chipping in spare cash on each run and progress towards unlocking characters is permanent. It’s a great system and it works really well. Each with their own attacks for you to acquire if you spend enough money to unlock. You’ll see nods to Rocky, John McClane, Hulk Hogan and so on. This includes the sub-boss characters who are all based on ’80s references too. As long as you can capture an enemy’s brain and take it back to a shop, you can become them if you throw some (in-game) money at them. Firemen, street punks, policemen and so on, these all become potential vessels for your parasite. You might take over a street bum whose attack is to ram enemies with a shopping trolley or a basketball player who throws rebounding balls as their main attack. Their body becomes yours as does their main and special attacks. You do this by getting close enough that they are in your absorb radius and then you press. So your path to success is to take over the bodies of humans. You can only take one shot or melee attack though and initially you have no extra lives. You move around with the left stick, aim with the right and shoot with. The first, most obvious reference is John Carpenter’s The Thing. You see, HyperParasite combines an interesting gameplay mechanic with a whole heap of ’80s references in a meaningful way that really shapes the action. HyperParasite is a roguelike twin-stick shooter/brawler from Spanish dev crew Troglobyte Games and while it is the latest of a long line of twin-stick shooters to hit PSN after a debut on PC, this one is a little different to the rest.
