![]() It has all of these tools and gadgets and, arguably, only a handful of them truly matter. If you don’t have the hacks or mobile know how to chase them, you can also expect them to get away as the game’s auto regenerate on health brings them back to fighting form in seconds.Īnd that takes us to the number one glaring flaw of Hyper Scape. It’s safe to say that if you run into opposition and don’t finish them nearly immediately, expect them to run. Then you also have the aforementioned mobility hacks like Teleport that will warp you through the environment and a ground slide that will shoot you forward 10 yards in pretty much a second. Regular movement speed is already fairly fast and jump pads that will launch you up over buildings to take the fight regularly between rooftops and ground level. Interesting concepts are neat and all, but execution is where Hyper Scape altogether shows every blatant flaw. Imbalance in all things The Ball hack might look goofy as heck, but it's also one of the most efficient escape or engage tools in Hyper Scape. Furthermore, it’s a problem exacerbated by the fact that Hyper Scape doesn’t feature a mini-map in its UI - a confounding decision given the presence of this standard feature in most other games. That's a forced decision with a real chance of getting caught and shot while trying to figure out where I am. That said, unless you’re on a roof with a view of the landscape, the sameness of the non-unique structures feels so cut and paste that I found myself having to open the game’s map regularly to see where I was going. There are major landmarks in Hyper Scape’s map. That said, it’s not so visually unique that it’s easy to tell where you are at times. The whole concept alongside the hyper cyber visuals gives the game a crisp tone and feel like the Ready Player One game it seems to want to be. For weapons, this means increased magazine sizes and damage, and maxing weapons is just another strategy on the way to the finish line. For hacks, it generally means shorter cooldowns for more frequent use. If you can survive to the end of a Crown Rush match in Hyper Scape, a crown will spawn and you can win by keeping it for 45 seconds if all other players aren't eliminated first.Įvery piece of weapon and gear can be found in either crates or holographic stations throughout the map, and what’s more, you can power up each weapon and hack by finding copies of it. ![]() Meanwhile, Teleport will let you blink short distances in the direction you’re looking instantly and a hack like Magnet will drop a unit which yanks opposing players close to it, limiting their mobility briefly. For instance, Invulnerability will give you temporary immunity to damage, but you can’t shoot while it’s active. There’s also equippable hack abilities that can give you special offensive or defensive capabilities. Speaking of which, the other major wrinkle is that in addition to normal weapons like rifles, shotguns, pistols, explosives, and such. This is easier said than done depending on how you’re decked out. A crown spawns and if you or your squad can hold it for 45 seconds, you win. ![]() For one, as everything comes down to the wire, you don’t have to simply be the last team standing. In regular battle royale fashion, Crown Rush is a last-player (or squad)-standing gauntlet in which parts of the Neo Arcadia city collapse in digitized ruin as players kill each other off to be the last solo player or group alive.Ī number of interesting twists are present. Everyone who’s anyone takes part in and enjoys a sport in the VR world known as Crown Rush. In a future ruined by bad decisions, reality has become so miserable that a company called Prisma Dimensions has created a virtual reality called Neo Arcadia where things suck less. It plays with some unique toys and tries to make its own statement with them, but I feel that statement is so marred by imbalance that Hyper Scape is a full step backwards rather than anything innovative or good enough to pull me away from other games in the genre. But I feel equally as capable at this point of telling you whether or not something new is a meaningful take or just a shot at getting into a popular space. ![]() From the humble beginnings of H1Z1 and PUBG, onto the innovations of Fortnite and Apex Legends, and up to the vast expanses of Verdansk in Call of Duty: Warzone, I’m pretty fond of the improvements that have been made with each new take in this series. ![]() I’ve been through my share of battle royale games. ![]()
