It’s available now for everyone to play, enjoy and give us feedback on – and if you love it, you can pledge on our Kickstarter campaign!”, said Saverio Caporusso, CEO of Troglobytes Games. “We hope that everyone enjoys it and look forward to hearing your comments on our Discord channel!”

Game Features:

• A fresh twist on the genre: hop from one host body to another
• 60 Playable Characters to Body-Snatch and utilise their attributes
• Unique retro 3D-pixelated visual style

• Cast+weapons includes – cops+guns, Werewolves+claws, robots+lasers, aliens and so much more

HyperParasite is set in the 80s, offering rad visuals, fast paced action and tight controls. The onscreen cast of characters, 60 different classes, all of which you can control, exploiting their own attributes, weapons and moves, present a game of outrageous action, rip roaring brawling at is very best, laced with a comical slant which adds spice and fun! No more looking for weapons, it’s the dude you control that is packed with the boom!
