Hyper Scape Review by Its Plot

This game generally describes the years running in the future. It is told in this game that after 2020, the facts will begin to occur based on forecasting the future of the earth, namely predicting science facts from science fiction. This is closely related to climate change which is very chaotic, where climate change is finally destroying almost the entire population around the world. In addition, there is also chaos in the social sphere, where there is an automation of work in all aspects, causing mass unemployment for human resources. There is also the spread of a virus that causes humans to experience amnesia and automatic machines that have the capability to work to do more than half of the work that humans can do.

Prisma Dimensions company created Hyper Scape, where players can have fun and give future humans a run from reality. Unfortunately, there were a number of suspicious things that happened, such as the disappearance of the players, the simulation was tampered with, and so on, so the public had to discover the dark facts in the simulation.

What a thrilling and tense plot, considering the story is similar to what started happening in our world today. Forget about the real world for a moment, let’s now discuss the next Hyper Scape review.

Hyper Scape Review by Its Gameplay

Hyper Scape does take the concept of science-fiction in the game, but the main genre of this game is battle royale, so those of you who like battle royale games who like a unique plot, will love this game. Within Hyper Scape, there is a main mode that shares elements with a number of other battle royale games. Like other battle royale games, Hyper Scape allows you as a player to face 99 other players and fight.

These 100 players will later be thrown into the location map which has a large area initially. However, over time the map will shrink over time. Shrinking this area will make the players inevitably narrow in a safe area, and increase the tension of the battle.

Even so, Hyper Scape has a number of differences between other battle royale games that we can clearly see, namely that random sectors of the location map will disappear as the area shrinks in the game. In addition, when the last sector is closed, a crown will appear allowing the player to hold the crown for 1 minute, which will be declared the winner. In addition, the winners will also be determined from the players and teams who make it to the end.

As you play, you’ll also be able to find various equipment, such as weapons and a number of special abilities called Hacks. The ability of this Hacks can allow a number of amazing skills, such as transforming a player into a giant ball and bouncing at will, or by making oneself invisible. You as a player will only have 2 weapons and Hacks at a time, but each item you choose can be exchanged in one round.

There is something unique about Hyper Scape, which is about the Echo mode. This Echo mode is obtained if a player is killed in squad play mode, which is expected to make an indirect contribution to the team.

Echo is not equipped with the ability to fight and beat opponents, but the way they work is by ‘pinging’ members of the team. Ping is done to provide a warning against a danger or an indication of where it can be used. Then, if the enemy of the team is killed by them, the team will get resurrection points, which can be used to revive your teammate who became Echo.

During the match, there are a number of possible modifications to the game world by the host AI. For example, such as the disclosure of every enemy on the mini map in the game, giving unlimited ammunition, or activating low gravity mode. Later, viewers who watch matches on Twitch can choose what is fun, so that it will help AI make modifications to the activation of certain modes. Familiar with this concept? Okay, say hello to the Hunger Games.

Hyper Scape then also used a battle pass with a tier system for rewarding players. Each season, there will be a number of battle passes consisting of 100 levels with at least one prize in each level. In the technical test, there are a number of unpaid battlepasses that have 10 levels that have 2 player skins at level 10. There are a number of attractive prizes that can be obtained from becoming a new champion, namely player skins, melee weapons, deployment pods, emblems, weapon skins, and sprays.

 If you want to level up the battle pass then you need to look for 200 experience points. You can get it in a number of ways, such as completing challenges per day or per week, having an interesting and good performance in the game, and watching and interacting on Twitch.
