Hyper Iria

About

Hyper Iria blends shooting and platforming in a sci-fi adventure where you control Iria, a young bounty hunter chasing clues aboard a mysterious space station. Switch between gunfights and precise jumps as you navigate crumbling corridors and alien-infested zones. The game mixes fast-paced combat with timed leaps, requiring quick reflexes to survive. The story pits Iria against Zeiram, a relentless alien force, as she uncovers secrets behind a vanished crew. While the plot leans into classic '90s action tropes, the tight controls and varied level design stand out. Though little known outside Japan, it remains a niche pick for retro fans seeking a brisk, challenging romp with a distinct blend of genres.

Storyline

Iria is the story of a girl and the Alien being she loves to hate. The series begins with her brother, Gren, taking a job. He is a bounty hunter, and one well known for his incredible skill. Iria, being a skilled apprentice bounty hunter herself, tags along. What is the job, one might ask. It is to find out what has happened to the crew and cargo of a Space Station. Needless to say, nothing is as it seems, and the war between Iria and Zeiram begins in earnest.
