About Hyperslice
Hyperslice is a chaotic arcade roguelike that turns frantic dodging and slicing into a high-stakes survival loop. Developed by MrEliptik and released in 2026, it’s all about wriggling your ship through waves of enemies, using precise dashes to either slash or shove them away. The game leans into its simplicity, each run is a race to upgrade your abilities, turning a fragile ship into a wrecking ball. It plays on PC and Linux, and while solo runs are intense, co-op adds a layer of synchronized chaos. If you love grinding through procedurally generated challenges with a focus on reflexes, this one’s got your name on it.
Gameplay
Your ship starts with a basic dash, which you’ll spam to survive. Every second counts: slicing enemies deals damage, but pushing them can clear paths or trigger chain reactions. Waves escalate rapidly, forcing you to balance dodging, upgrading, and managing limited power. Between runs, you unlock new abilities like homing missiles or shield bursts, but each choice reshapes your strategy. Sessions feel like a frantic rhythm, blink and you’ll miss a critical opening. Controls are tight, but the learning curve is steep; one miscalculated dash and you’re back at square one. Co-op modes amplify the pressure, requiring split-second coordination. It’s a game about adapting on the fly, with every death teaching you how to tweak your approach.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate it 4.7/5, with 82% completing at least one full run. The average playtime is 12 hours, though 68% of players admit to getting “addicted to the loop.” Community moods are split: 22% call it “frustratingly punishing,” while 10% find the later waves “repetitive.” Critic reviews highlight its “brutal polish,” though some question the lack of variety in enemy types. At $19.99, 79% of players have unlocked all 45 achievements, with “Final Survivors” being the most sought-after. The game thrives in co-op, where completion rates jump by 15%, but solo runs still draw praise for their relentless tension.
PlayPile's Take
Hyperslice is a love letter to players who thrive on high-speed problem-solving. It’s not for the faint of heart, those who dislike permadeath or repetitive wave mechanics might bail early. But if you enjoy tweaking builds and mastering timing, the $20 price tag feels justified. With 79% of achievements tied to optional upgrades, completionists will find extra incentive to replay. Just be ready to invest time; the first few runs are brutal. It’s a niche gem, best played in short bursts or with a friend to share the carnage.
