What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“HYPERBLADE would greatly benefit from community feedback and involvement in the development process. Since it is in a niche genre, I hope to find an audience to give feedback and help make HYPERBLADE even better.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Summer 2023 is the planned release date for the full version HYPERBLADE. This may vary depending on player feedback of course!”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“There will be a lot of differences between the Early Access and official version of the game, such as additional content, new levels, gameplay elements, and achievements.

Overall, the finished version can expect a significantly longer play time.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current early access version of HYPERBLADE contains 5 levels, collectibles, and timed challenges. The build is steady and has good performance as well.

The current version does not have a very large playtime, however, and the game is discounted to compensate for that.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“HYPERBLADE is cheaper during early access to compensate for the shorter playtime. When HYPERBLADE is fully released, it will see a moderate price increase.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“HYPERBLADE's discord server has been and will remain the main way the players can be involved with the development process.”

IN DEVELOPMENT

HYPERBLADE is a solo-deved passion project that has been put into early access to get feedback from players and gauge interest. Please do not expect many hours of content at this stage of development.

About This Game



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.
