Hyper Demon feels like what people described Polybius to be
My first thought when I saw this game was, "Wow, Sorath just made Polybius... Weird."
Some company already made a version of Polybius for Xbox Live
This game is quite an experience. I just hope people stick around with it long enough to where things start clicking for real, because the already fun game just turns into something else entirely at that point. It's unbelievably satisfying when you've incorporated a bunch of tech into your skillset and can get a good flow going without really thinking about anything. I've seen people compare it to skateboarding.
Really? Damn but it is hard to watch.... Game seems fun though anyways
@@InsufficientYarsago a good way to get accustomed is by playing the devs' previous game, Devil Daggers. The movement is simpler, the visuals are less busy and it's endurance instead of a speedrun, things have more of a ramp up before getting truly hectic.
@@cdgonepotatoes4219 That actually seems like a eye-fine game. Cool👍
imagine comparing this too skateboarding
more like surfing on csgo
"You feel like the rabbit from Monty python ripping everyone's balls off" perfect summary
The absolute genius of this is the radial projection which means things don't get englarged at the edge of the screen only to shrink to a fraction of their size in the centre of the screen when you turn towards them. So 180 degree FoV works here when it would be horrible in any other game, making this the first game where you can see 360 degrees around you.
And that rear view is also genius. If you use your imagination to visualise something moving around you in a circle while you face forwards, it works just like that rear view, except maybe not red and flashing. Absolutely incredible achievement.
Having recently played Devil Daggers, I'm actually very interested in the FoV here, as the audio design in that game, although great for the most part, I think failed in a few places to make it clear enough what was out of my view. This is an insane, yet seemingly effective way to solve that problem.
I actually haven't played Devil Daggers but I might have to give it a shot
@@KYLDA This game is by the same devs, pretty much a sequel to Devil Daggers, tho Devil Daggers is also an amazing game. The main difference being my brain was semi ready for Devil Daggers and not at all for Hyper Demon
@@KYLDA Hyper Demon is basically Devil Daggers amped up.
@@ikcikor3670thanks for the comment, saw the video play quickly and was like “Wait a minute, this game just wholesale ripped off Devil Dagger” lmao
it's weird but I started suddenly being able to interpret what was going on the longer i watched the video. the enemies suddenly became pretty clearly outlined and decipherable. weird.
Really well made.
brain adapted
i notice you havent mentioned the control scheme
although you have a variety of tech at your disposal, the control scheme is extremely simple. Apart from your movement keys you only use two buttons, mouse 1 and spacebar. Everything is context sensitive
hold mouse, its a spray, click and its a shotgun
press space and you jump, press space as you land and you bunny hop, hold space as you land and you slide, press space in mid air and you dash, press space in mid air without holding a movement key and you goomba stomp.
there, that's the whole control scheme.
cant forget right click for rails
@@depthsofabjection how do you mean? Locks you in a straight path?
@@jroseme Magnets the crystals or green bombs to you, which you the fire on release.
i love hyper demon. every time i play it, my eyes hurt. but it's a 10/10
Absolutely spot-on review. I can confirm it looks like an indecipherable mess when watching, but when you play, it... doesn't? Somehow? It's really a bizarre phenomenon that I assume is the difference between driving a car and getting carsick in the backseat. Being in control of movements lets everything click in your brain.
This is the kind of game that makes it harder to play other games
After playing it, i launched Bioshock: Infinite and thought: "Fk, where am i?! Where are the enemies?! How to zoom out?". Now i only play shooters at max FoW.
360 FoW, great sound-queues, purposeful game-design - this all makes for an awesome game
It's worth mentioning that the default FOV is 120 and perfectly playable. You're torturing yourself at 180.
More eye strain = More enjoyment
AFAIK you have to set FOV to 120, 100 is default. Agreed that 180 is torture.
180? i play at 360
honestly the difficulty scaling reminds me of risk of rain 2 but instead of just becoming more difficult as time goes on, you are the deciding factor of difficulty
Sorath made a Devil Daggers sequel. Under which rock I've been living this entire time?
i love this game so much, the first game he created was "devils daggers" which relied entirely on sound ques, this game relies almost entirely on visual ques, its so cool how he made the same game, but you rely on your eyes not your ears now. Great experience.
Excellent and to the point review of a remarkable game. I haven’t had a game catch and hold my attention this hard since Devil Daggers, by the same studio. I keep coming back to it because the feel of flow, learning and linking mechanics, improving death after death… all in service of a better score and a few more positions on the leaderboard… just can’t be beat. Well worth a play; at all of $15 USD, it’s a minor outlay even if you don’t fall head over feet for it, and a major bargain if you do.
Good video which sums up the HYPER DEMON experience nicely. Subbed
the line " you dont feel like a panzer tank rolling through a doorway.... you feel like the rabbit from Monty Python ripping everyones balls off." made me laugh.
IMMEDIATELY after in the combat section "YOU'RE AN ARM" had me rolling.
great vid. New Sub.
edit. BRO the rest of this vid is so fucking funny man omg 😂
the people/person behind this and Devil Daggers could make a KILLER horror-isk dungeon crawler, i bet if this guy sent his work to the people that did Returnal they would hire him on the spot and use him or whomever made the game for another Returnal Style game using his designs for monsters and gameplay mixed with theirs. omfg that would be so good, i really like Returnal and this persons style, i used to play Devil Daggers when it came out and i just bought this, havent played yet but i might tonight. (im super lazy, i still need to finish DD2 and i love that game, the first being my favorite SP game of all time until the 2nd released.)
Dude keep it up with videos like these. Quality review. Better than most things I've seen
I had a headache after I played it the first time, but I quit at 5am after playing for 3 hours and I felt awful going in- It's THAT good!
The only thing I want is a VR port (maybe I'm a masochist). It would be the best game ever in VR
Brilliant review. Im glad youtube recomended me this!
I remember that, i played 45 hours of devil daggers, this came out, and thought of buying it for a bit, shortly after a streamer i follow announced they were gonna stream the game, i went in, told them to put a seizure warning. The streamer got a headache after 2 minutes of tutorials, 10 minutes after this happened, i bought the game.
isnt this is just.... devil daggers but trippy ? whats the difference between hyper demon and devil daggers ? (aside from the trippy-ness ofc)
@@daystormzx2733 it's incredibly faster, the micro-decisions matter way more than it can look like, since every enemy you killed is "bound" to spawn another enemy, if you don't kill the right ones everything can go to shit real fast, and the movement of course, in devil daggers you barely have any real options movement wise, here you feel like you can create your own style by how many options there are
@@angie6261 so...if u must choose one, what will u choose ? Dev. Daggers or Hyp. Demon ?
@@daystormzx2733 hyper demon, but that's my opinion, everyone has a different one, for example cruelty squad is one of my favourite games ever, and that doesn't mean is the best game in any aspect, it always depends
When I watched this review, it was as you said, I couldn't tell in the slightest what's happning. And I was intrigued.
I bought the game and beat it, and out of curiosity I went back to this. I can perfectly tell what's happening on screen now, so i's really just the initial shock.
Anyways, thanks. One of the most memorable games I've ever played, the art style is unlike anything I've ever seen before.
Truest experience, same thing happened to me
When you're there it just suddenly clicks and everything makes sense
This review was why I got the game I still get smashed whenever I get to adorned but luckily I never suffer from any side effects like headaches because I've just never been affected by intense games that way so I can play it pretty well. Overall I love it
With the FOV cranked all the way up, this really is the best example of a psychadelic game to me. When you trip, and especially while peaking, it feels like you can see behind yourself, like your real FOV has been pumped to the max, except you can also see into the future and the past. Thats what this game feels like.
Incredible review, incredible game(s). Devil Daggers is like a fun nightmare while Hyper Demon is something words cannot explain, in a good way
It also doesn't waste your time. As soon as you fuck up press R and try again, no loading, no delay, just go
Thanks for the video, did the job of explaining, I don't think I will play this since it doesn't seem like my thing
I don't like the flashing too much but the perspective looks awesome to me. But then again, I breezed through Hyperbolica like it was nothing on my first playthrough so odd visual perception is not an issue for me.
god damn you can talk so good you sent my conscience to another dimension
idk if that has to do with the gameplay but it felt cool
i honestly think the visuals really force you to get into a flow state. so its a bit harder to get into, but getting to the 'im playing this game to decompress' point is easier and faster then most action games.
right now im managing to play this on a 4:3 crt with 180 fov, the spherical projection is a very good fit for this game
i did actually buy this game after your recommendation, and im only a few hours in... but i feel the itch to keep going. too bad i gotta sleep tonight.
This looks like what Devil Daggers would look like after taking a hit of a dimethyltryptamine.
Bro imagine this thing in VR 😳
DIY MK Ultra kit
you know, its getting better if you have partial color blind or filter your screen (3rd party app) for eye strain
im currently top 1000 in the world on Devil Daggers which is the original concept of the game. I can say Sorath is a 10/10 dev
This game is what exactly how hell and heaven look like AT THE SAME TIME. It's a masterpiece.
I thought it was devil daggers at first, lol!
So we can agree this is the very first FPS to actually provide native 360° FOV? This deserves some kind of guiness world record.
I loved Devil Daggers. I slightly liked Thumper. This appears to be the offspring of those two with some third thing for the mechanics lol.
Great video
This certainly has to be one of the games of all time, 10/10 video
played it on lsd, one of the best experiences ive ever had
This looks like the love child of Doom 2016 and Polybius
"I've had 3 seizures and I don't even have epilepsy" hahahaha well said.
I need this on ps5 asap 💯
i have not played this games, second review i watched of it, i have a headeach (i dont know how to write) right now just trying to understand whats going on on the video, im buying it
ADHD doom on LSD basically
This game is my mind when I close my eyes, there's literally no difference between my mind and this game, kinda sounds funny, sorta
I found a bug in this game by watching this video. The camera is distorted, especially at the edges. The developers should fix this bug.
its a stylistic choice not a bug
Well, I don't have epilepsy either. I do have ADHD though. The game looks PERFECT. Love me some weapons grade stimulants.
Wait, it's like a sequel to devil daggers?
It's literaly epileptic devil daggers right?
Does this game have much replayability? It looks insane but idk if i want to get it
Hmm
In terms of total content or an actual progression 'system' no
But if you like mechanical progression and going for high scores etc, then there's a lot
It just depends what you enjoy.
@@KYLDA I ended up buying it 15 minutes later and wow the game is amazing, watching it makes everything look impossible but once you go through the tutorial and watch top replays it's jaw dropping how much you can do , idk im lost for words on this game it's like nothing I've ever seen and I love it thanks for replying on such an old video too
I love hyper demon, such a great game and it realy feels like an LSD trip sometimes, but so much faster. I can't binge it as much as devil daggers, though. it's just too overwhelming.
So you're not going to mention Devil Daggers?
huh i don't know how i don't know why but i understood all of this vid and didn't get overwhelmed by visuals
I have a question for you: What genre would this game fit in?
Psychological Horror
alternative arcade arena wave shooter
I decided to try this game once not knowing what i was doing back then, i just wish the creators of this game gave a option to tone down the headache inducing visuals for people who are prone to seizures often.
Don't get me wrong, this game looks great/like a total fever dream but the way the game looks is a big no for me, at least Devil Daggers is less more headache inducing than this one.
theres also devil daggers made by the same people and less intense as far as im aware
Devil Daggers in steroids
I got motion sick from this watching this with a 180 fov
Is that not just devil daggers on crack?
interesting
Try Devil Daggers if you want a calmer game
"Calmer" is a strong word when it comes to how hard the game gets overtime.
I beat my friends high score and never touched it again
I can handle 130 fov in fps games, but this has a much different fov system
AAAAAAAAAAAAH! MY EYES!
also that looks like a cool game
only 150 subs wot, I bet you get more zeros in less than a year tbh
Cheers, I appreciate that
Good review, I think its a fair one. It certainly appears as an inhuman game.
Any Devil Daggers players when saw this game thought "yeah this looks normal enough"
so its devil daggers on acid
this game is hard af.
Ya know, with my brain hasn't fully healed yet from it being cracked like an egg, full of brain-bleeds as a teenager and full of PTSD after quitting martial arts, this game has not been nice to me. What is so, so irritating to me, is that you have 6 actions on a single keybind, your jump key. I maybe one person with (perhaps) a handicap, but my shattered brain cannot keep up with the pace even with set routes by another player. One mistake is all it takes to screw up a run. I want to keep grinding, but my health is more important. If the developer (Sorath) were to separate most of the actions of the jump bind, I think I would stop losing my mind for accidentally going the wrong direction and killing myself, due to dash/dodge being part of the jump bind. And because I'm a Quake player, some habits like buffer-jumping cannot be broken.
I'm not expecting Sorath the Dev to change anything, but for the love of God, please listen to my feedback. Forget about the epilepsy crap, I can handle it, just please - I'm begging for some or most actions of the jump bind to be on own separate bind(s) (Dash/Dodge/Slide/Fake/Stomp) for a Quality-of-Life change. Or at least let us have the option to separate such actions to another key so it doesn't completely throw off other players that already are use to the current design. And for once, it would be more satisfying if I had my own route and a pattern to follow.
It's a reasonable suggestion, but there could be unforseen consequences for a game with such fragile refined mechanics.
For example its almost guaranteed that someone will find a way to break key seperation to create at the very least one new tech. If this tech becomes 'meta' then suddenly everyone is forced to use it unless the scoreboards are somehow rolled back and hotfixes implemented quickly. Either that or the original design and vision has to take a backseat.
Basically its adding a variable which wasn't tested and taken into account when the game was built. In a game where everything is based on split second decisions and inputs it could completely destabilise it. However if it could be done in a way which would make no impact (at least not obviously) then again, very reasonable thing to ask.
so its Devil Daggers with eye searing graphics
a quick look at the dev (Sorath) shows their 1 other game: Devil Daggers. Devil Daggers is low res Hyper Demon that makes you feel like you're in hell. Hyper Demon is Devil Daggers with seizure inducing, eye melting visuals and costs 5 more dollars. No judgement, just wow.
Yeah the price for HYPERDEMON is kinda absurd for being literally the same type of game except that it's on steroids.
This game is just not for me, it could be for someone who likes this sort of visual madness but it just hurts my eyes.
Hyper Demon is basically an improvement in every way to the point of being a completely different genre imo
Sold
My eyes my eyes 😵💫
When i play Devil Daggers - i start tearing up. Not in emotional way no... just my Eyes hurts from watching the game. Even so - I LOVE how the game looks. I played DOOM Eternal and had no problems with this tho.
But looking at this game i would die i think. It looks so chaotic and messy but on the other hand very interesting.
Anyone has the same problem with eyes as me when playing Devil Daggers? It is weird... super weird
high q vid.
hahahahaha Amazing review
Why is this game NOT VR?
One thing I'm certain of: anyone with even the slightest bit of photosensitivity should *_avoid this game at all costs._*
I just bought the game after watching the first minute
Devil Daggers on crack
I kinda preferred Devil Daggers (which Hyper Demon is a sequel to)
warzone "movement fps" LMFAO
Pearls before swine.
Is this not a devil dagger rip off?
my guy, it was literally made by the same people
I can play this game no problem but watching this game play made me nacois lmao
FOV the game
i got a headache from watching this video
This game looks like a lot of fun..., for about 1 minute. Then, next game please. 👍🏻😊
Yeah... This game is just ridiculous. Devil Daggers is where it's at. This game? Nope. :|
have you played it?
Bad copy of Evil Daggers?
my guy, it was literally made by the same people
Games sick, buy it that’s all you need to do.
