About HYPERBLADE
HYPERBLADE is a gameplay-driven action game where you can only move by dashing. Use your momentum to kick off walls and cut down your enemies.
Abilities like time manipulation and bullet deflection allow for limitless improvisational play.
Early Access
HYPERBLADE has entered early access to get feedback and improve the game. The final version will expand on the story/lore, and have more levels and gameplay elements.
Design Pillars
- Gameplay first - HYPERBLADE prioritizes gameplay over story. No long unskippable cutscenes to interrupt the flow of gameplay.
- Tough but fair - Players should feel challenged, but should never feel that they died unfairly.
- A sense of mastery - A player's skill should improve over time. The satisfaction of mastering a mechanic can be extremely satisfying.

[b]This is awesome![/b] It’s like Hotline Miami and Katana Zero had a baby. You're escaping from a military lab, and the controls are simple - just two mouse buttons. Left-click to dash and slash with your sword, right-click to deflect bullets. Every action triggers slow motion, giving you plenty of time to think. Visually, the game looks incredible. The pixel art is cool, there are secrets hidden across the levels, and the soundtrack is pure hype. I honestly can't believe this game is free. If you’re into top-down shooters, you absolutely have to check this one!

good game
REALLY fun game, awesome art style as well
It aimed for Hotline Miami which it could have reached if they didn't hamper it with a terrible control scheme of 'flick and pray'. Looks like this is stuck in EA hell as well, no updates in years.
I was like, "This is really fun". It reminded me of katana zero, It was really smooth, and there where virtually no bugs. Then it ended.... This is not worth 6$, its a really fun game, but considering its only 40 minutes long, 6$ is a LOT.
hotline miami + katana zero is a fire concept. I definitely had some annoying moments from time to time, but over all it's a very fun game and im def gonna come back when the new content updates drop.
