In addition to the compelling storyline, Hypercharge: Unboxed features four-player co-op, split screen, and PvP gameplay modes.
Hypercharge: Unboxed can be purchased for about $15 on Steam. For many, that may be a bit pricey for an unfamiliar game, but Hypercharge’s high ratings speak for themselves. As one Steam reviewer put it, “We need more games like [this], you get skins if you play the game. That’s how every game should be. So if you’re tired of having to pay to look cool then you should buy the game.”
Hypercharge: Unboxed is also slated to come to Xbox and PlayStation platforms in the future.
