HyperParasite getting a physical release

Nicalis today announced HyperParasite as its latest physical release for Switch. The game will be out on store shelves starting on February 19, 2021.

Here’s a bit of information about HyperParasite:

It’s entirely fitting that HyperParasite should be released in physical form, as the game’s aesthetic is deeply rooted in the 1980s, when every game had a physical edition. The collectible package features over-the-top artwork with neon highlights and includes a full-color instruction manual along with a reversible cover insert.

HyperParasite is a rogue-lite twin-stick shooter/brawler with procedurally generated levels, so it never plays the same twice. As a body-snatching alien parasite with a grudge against humanity, players can collect and control 60 different characters, each with different stats, weapons and special attacks. Team up with another parasite in two-player cooperative mode and fight to the top of the food chain: Possess the President, push the Big Red Button and one-up the human race.

Pricing for the physical version of HyperParasite is set at $39.99.
