Action Figure Shooter Hypercharge Finally Unboxed on PS5, PS4 Next Month

I've had this on Switch since it came out and while it's a competent shooter, it's simply a really awful tower defense game. The mechanics just don't lend themselves to a fun time.

Maybe it's been improved since I last played, but there were core flaws in its design that made it really difficult to enjoy as a MOBA/tower defense/shooter fan. I figured it was right up my alley (love the aesthetic and general idea!) but it fell short in basically every regard.

Didnt know it was a Tower defense game. I don't like them. The aestethics of this game are great. Love that 80/90's feeling.

@Blauwe_Chimay It's a mixture of tower defense and shooter (with a light feeling of MOBA to me). You and your teammates plop defense down and fight off waves of other toys. But the core mechanics were really ill-conceived imo and it resulted in a ton of frustrating games that just weren't fun.

Thanks, ill have my eye on it. Looks like a game that Will come to PS+ to bump up the playerbase.

any game that’s still releasing on ps4 kills my interest in it

@AdamNovice Not when I played. It's built around 4-person co-op. As it says in the trailer, "play with bots" just means you're playing levels with AI teammates.

And the "campaign" is just a progression of levels. It's not a real story mode campaign like, say, Call of Duty.

I love the aesthetic and the concept of this so much. I just wish it were either a traditional multiplayer shooter or had a traditional single player campaign. I still might try it, though! We'll see!
