Hypercharge: Unboxed is a co-op wave-based shooting game where you play as an action figure. You can party up with your buddies and defend the Hypercore against numerous enemies coming to destroy it.
Recently, Update 8 was released and it brought huge improvements to Hypercharge: Unboxed. One of the things that you’ll notice is that the play menu is overhauled, giving you a much cleaner interface than before. According to the dev team, they made the overhaul because they saw that some people struggled to find their way to the right game mode. Now, the different game modes are presented to you more prominently. Additionally, more information about a particular game mode is available as you browse through the menu.
Update 8 also made changes to the lobby. The interface is decluttered with some options being moved inside the Game Rules section. Furthermore, a new system is in place that allows you to invite your friend via a unique code.
The other things implemented in Update 8 can be found below:
- Added Team Deatchmatch as a separate game mode instead of a hidden game rule option.
- Added it so Collectibles are given to all players when one player picks them up.
- Added improved balanced aiming locations for bots in PvP.
