Release Date: January 31, 2020
FPS with tower defense elements, in which we play the role of a plastic soldier repelling mass attacks of enemies. Hypercharge: Unboxed created by Digital Cybercherries studio can be played alone or in multiplayer mode for up to four people.
Hypercharge: Unboxed is a FPS with tower defense elements. The game was developed by the independent studio Digital Cybercherries.
We play as a plastic soldier whose task is to defend the core (Hyper-Core) against a massive attack of enemies. The game is at stake because if it is destroyed, all toys, comics, and fairy tales will be completely forgotten by people.
In Hypercharge: Unboxed, we observe the action from the first-person perspective. During the game, we fight fierce battles with our opponents, and the battlefields are located in such places as the kitchen, guest room, bedroom, or even the backyard. Before starting the battle, we set up traps for opponents, entanglements, and automatic cannon, as well as build various fortifications. When successive waves of toy adversaries (including other soldiers, airborne units or even a giant dinosaur) start to attack us, we must defend ourselves at all costs using an extensive arsenal of firearms and gadgets; besides, we must take care of the power supply for our automated murder tools, because with time their batteries run out. As we progress, we earn experience points and develop our character; in addition, we unlock skins that enable us to modify the appearance of the hero and his weaponry.
Hypercharge: Unboxed can be played solo or in the company of up to three players (online or on a split-screen). Multiplayer mode includes both co-op and competition-based gameplay (such as team deathmatch or team deathmatch).
Three-dimensional visuals Hypercharge: Unboxed can be enjoyed. Both the plastic soldiers and the elements of the environment are designed with attention to detail, and the whole thing, although colorful, is transparent, which enables you to easily understand the situation on the battlefield.

Game Ratings for Hypercharge: Unboxed Video Game.
Game Rant: 3.5 / 5 by Corey Hoffmeyer
Hypercharge: Unboxed doesn't revolutionize the shooter market or offer anything new, but what it does provide is a highly polished, chaotic, and lovingly crafted experience for players who have an itch for retro games and addictive combat loops. There's certainly an argument to be made that this version is coming a little too late into its life cycle, but if Hypercharge: Unboxed can find a consistent and renewed audience with this long-awaited release on Xbox consoles, then perhaps the future is indeed bright for this zany, old school shooter.
ZTGD: 7 / 10 by Terrence Johnson
I know I have been critical of the developer in the past, and while I, myself didn’t really vibe with their marketing techniques; at the end of the day developer Digital Cybercherries’ freshman offering is a joy to play with others. It can be rather difficult alone due to having to defend multiple towers, but with others, online or split-screen I cannot deny this is a fun game. Its not going to set the world on fire, but for a group of buddies on a weekend; this one will definitely make you smile.
Nintendo Life: 7 / 10 by Oliver Reynolds
If you consider the fairly sparse selection of FPS titles on the Switch, Hypercharge: Unboxed is a genuinely tempting prospect, boasting solid gameplay that is an absolute blast with friends. There are a few issues with the gameplay that may need addressing with patches, and as a whole the game feels like a bit of a walk in the park for the most part, but otherwise it's an impressive, unique title that you'd do well to check out.
