Troglobytes Games have announced through a recent press release that they will be launching a Kickstarter October 10th for their upcoming game, HyperParasite.
HyperParasite is a roguelike-like, twin-stick shooter with a unique body snatching gimmick allowing the player to jump from host to host with each body providing a different play style. It will feature an 80’s inspired aesthetic and a synth-wave soundtrack, and can be played single player or in co-op.
Troglobytes Games is looking to raise $29,000 USD to finish up development and aid in porting to consoles. Currently, they’re looking to launch on PC, XBox One, and Nintendo Switch. We’ll be keeping you updated with a more thorough Kickstarter Spotlight when the campaign launches next week. You can also download the pre-alpha demo here.
