- Brute casting: Every command is executed by all units that receive it
- Infinite selection size
- Select-All-Army hotkey
- Select-All-Production hotkey, incl. setting rally point
RTS-Roguelite Blend
HyperCoven plays like an RTS, but production of units is automatic.Capture different Coven which summon troopers for you to send into battle.Each trooper has up to 7 different attributes that can be enhanced with trinkets found in the world and buildings erected in base.Game Modes
- The Campaign spans 10 hand-crafted missions and a tutorial.
- Conquest Mode is about venturing out to conquer the whole (randomized) world, as you would venture into a dungeon.
- Invasion Mode is a take on the "wave defense" idea, the world is more sparse, but extra-dimensional invaders are warping in and drop valuable items.
- Multiplayer Co-Op available for Invasion and Conquest.
- Multiplayer PvP action on over 10 different maps. A plethora of options to customize your match between try-hard and super random.

✦ AI summary
Players praise the responsive controls that actually work—a rarity in indie strategy games—along with the creative unit variety, catchy music, and innovative coven system that keeps matches unpredictable. The retro Starcraft-inspired aesthetic and solid campaign content are seen as excellent value for the $3 price point, though some note the sound effects could be more satisfying and there are minor jankiness issues with pathfinding and vision systems that don't detract much from the overall experience.
The controls just work (which is a low bar but surprisingly a lot of RTS/RTT games fail to clear it). It has grid hot keys, middle mouse drag (the default is "drag the map" and there is no invert setting, which is comfortable for me from SC2 muscle memory but might annoy you if you want to "pan the camera"). The units are weird, the pathfinding and vision system are a little janky. Its better than I expected. Again, the controls just work for me which is a huge relief. Lots of these indie strategy games everytime I try to move the camera it goes in the wrong direction which is hugely aggravating.1 found this helpful
3 dollars for what feels like a starcraft brood war map isn't all that bad. It's neat, interesting, and for the price I think you get a bit more than what you pay.1 found this helpful
Very nice retro style RTS (think Starcraft Broodwar) with some cool ideas. Coded by one person in Rust, which is an achievement in itself! The little campaign gets very challenging in the end, hope to see more of it!1 found this helpful
Its tight. I like the huge variety of funky units. The music is cool too. The artstyle is all over the place which i actually think is cool, no other game looks like this one. As a guy who usually likes watching my little dudes bring me gold in RTS games I was skeptical of the coven system but its fun and makes you form strats on the fly based on what units you have access too. A full campaign is also a crazy steal for a $3 game! I wish the sound effects were a bit more satisfying, but the music makes up for it
