High Voltage Software

High Voltage Software at a Glance

High Voltage Software has been operating since 1993 and continues to release titles through 2025. Based on the data from PlayPile, the company has worked on 53 games in total, serving as a developer for 50 of them and a publisher for eight. Their output is heavily skewed toward the 2000s decade where they produced 30 titles. By comparison, they released only four games in the 1990s, 15 in the 2010s, and just one in the 2020s so far. This suggests their most active period was nearly two decades ago, with a significant drop-off in recent years despite their continued presence. The company has focused heavily on console hardware from the previous generation. Their top platform is the Nintendo Wii with 22 games, followed by the PlayStation 2 with 16 and the original Xbox with 12. They have also released titles for PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, GameCube, PSP, DS, and N64. In terms of genre, Adventure is their most common category with 21 entries, while Shooter comes in second with 11. They have also touched on Platform, Sport, Fighting, and Arcade games. Their own bio claims they can make anything from first-person shooters to collectible card games, but the data shows a clear pattern of working within established console franchises rather than pioneering new spaces. Quality ratings for High Voltage Software are mixed at best. The average IGDB rating across 28 rated titles is 59 out of 100. Only two of their games achieved a great score above 80, which includes NBA Inside Drive 2004 and Hunter: The Reckoning Wayward. Another title from the same era, Saints Row IV, scored a solid 79.3. However, the majority of their work falls into the good or mixed range. They have nine games rated between 40 and 59 and two that scored below 40. Recent releases show a concerning trend. Zombieland: Double Tap - Road Trip from 2019 holds a rating of 0 out of 100, and Damaged Core from 2016 only reached 60. Upcoming titles like Dragon Front: Adventures are scheduled for late 2025, but the company has not released many games in the current decade to build a strong modern reputation.
