HYPERCHARGE: Unboxed News

Dear Action Figures,

Early Access Update 02 is finally here and we cannot thank you enough for all of your feedback and support thus far. We have been extremely hard at work implementing all of your ideas to further help develop HYPERCHARGE: Unboxed.

Thank you so much to everyone who has taken the time to provide their great ideas and suggestions. We cannot develop this game without you so please keep it up and continue to participate on the Forums.

With the release of this major update, we have now established a solid foundation for the core gameplay. We want to thank everyone for all your feedback.

Below are some images and descriptions describing some of the main features you can expect to see within this update: (Please see below for the full change log:)


More freedom to build. You are no longer limited to set positions when it comes to placing your defences. Within the grid, players can now place their turrets and traps almost anywhere on the floor.


Watch out for those Helicopters that drop deadly bombs on top of you. Be also vigilant as the Army Man Jeep has a powerful .50 Cal Machine Gun and is ready to destroy you!



You can now upgrade your Turrets with the credits earned by surviving waves and destroying enemies.


Damage and slow down your enemies by placing devastating traps that will help you survive each wave.


Players can now benefit from the improved loadout system while being able to choose from any 3 buildables they like.


It doesn’t help you in any way other than looking rather cool!

Dear Action Heroes,

Today we launch HYPERCHARGE: Unboxed into Early Access! Thank you to everyone who will be joining us on our journey towards full release. Your feedback and support helps make the game become something you all truly want to play.

It’s extremely important to us that your suggestions are heard and we promise to listen. I’ve created a Feedback for Early Access Guide which provides information regarding; how to give feedback, how it’s used and where to go to get in touch with us. I hope this helps.

As the game is in Early Access, it’s important to mention that it of course in its current state does not represent the final product.

We look forward to listening to your thoughts and suggestions and working together to develop HYPERCHARGE: Unboxed. Be sure to make a post on our Forums and we’ll get hard to work.

See you all in-game!
