About HyperParasite
HyperParasite is a twin-stick roguelite brawler set in a grime-covered, 1980s dystopia. You play as an alien parasite fighting through procedurally generated streets, taking over human hosts and battling your way toward the Big Red Button to bring about a mushroom cloud of finality.
Take over hosts
You snatch human bodies with your tentacles and absorb their abilities. More than 60 characters can serve as hosts, each with a unique attack and melee move. When a host dies, you can discard its body and take another; as the parasite, one hit means permadeath unless you have found an upgrade.
Each host class has a boss. Defeat one, take its brain to Wito's shop and use your stolen cash to unlock that character. A storage unit lets you bring collected hosts back in later runs.
Explore the streets
The procedurally generated world spans five acts, with a roguelite map full of secrets and bosses waiting in the shadows. You fight through each area while searching its dark corners for what they conceal.
Local co-op
Two players can play together in local co-op, bringing a friend along to fight through the game.
Soundtrack
The original score by Van Reeves and Joe Kataldo uses a synthwave bassline to accompany the action.
