Body-snatch your way through the '80s! Twin-stick shooter 'HyperParasite' launches next week!

Available in Asia & Japan for PlayStation 4 & Nintendo Switch!

Hong Kong - March 26, 2020 – Independent developer and publisher, Eastasiasoft Limited, are pleased to announce that the rogue-lite twin-stick snatch, zap and shoot ‘em up, HyperParasite from developer Troglobytes Games, launches in Asia and Japan on April 2nd (for Nintendo Switch) and April 3rd (for PlayStation®4). HyperParasite will be priced at US$17.99 / HK$ 138 / ¥1980 (incl. tax). A 30% launch discount will be available on both platforms. The Nintendo Switch version is now available for digital pre-load.

HyperParasite is a fresh take on the twin-stick shooter, offering incredibly slick fast-paced action, responsive controls and has more mullets than you can shake a pink neon sock at.

With 60 classes of host, each of which can be snatched and controlled, to take advantage of their unique skills and weaponry. Laced with comedy, a bodacious synth-wave soundtrack and rad retro visuals that drags the player kicking and screaming back to the 80s! HyperParasite is a game full of outrageous and rip-roaring brawling action that throws down the fingerless glove to its challengers.

HyperParasite is playable in English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Italian, German, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, French, and Spanish. HyperParasite will be available in other regions at the same time. All versions released outside of Asia & Japan will be published by Troglobytes Games & Hound Picked Games.

About HyperParasite:

HyperParasite is a rogue-lite twin-stick shooter/brawler that never plays the same twice. Collect and control 60 different characters as the body-snatching alien Parasite with a grudge against humanity. Fight to the top of the food chain: possess the President, push the Big Red Button and one-up the human race.

Features: 

  • Relentless top-down, shoot ‘em up action! Being able to snatch the bodies of nearly every weapon - wielding homosapien you encounter ensures bullet hell almost never ceases.
  • Intelligent zapping! A happy trigger-finger alone won’t suffice; 60 different character classes, host-specific abilities and a skill-based progression system means you’ll be working to one-up the human race even without bullets.
  • Extreme level re-playability! 13 procedurally generated levels, multiple game-play objectives, grueling waves of enemies and 5 deranged bosses, all while the possibility of perma-death looms; prepare to die. A lot.
  • Nostalgia …perpetuated by a unique 3D-pixelated art style, absurdly bright neons, obnoxious styling and robotic synthesizer sounds. It’s the roaring 80s alright, with a dash of dystopia.
