'Hyper Universe' Available On Steam Early Access

Hyper Universe blends side-scrolling action platforming with the intense strategic, team-based gameplay of MOBAs.

Join the battle-ready Hypers and use their insane abilities to defeat the opposing team and bring about victory.

In Hyper Universe, players will take control of one of a multitude of battle-ready “Hypers” and use their insane abilities to defeat the opposing team and bring about victory. Taking many shapes and sizes, the Hypers range from a mage who rains down giant snowmen on his enemies, to a mongoose riding astride an armored rhinoceros, to a tentacled Admiral with the power of the kraken at his call, and more! The distinctive playable characters, inspired by legendary icons in popular culture, fall into a diverse set of both new and traditional MOBA roles to create a frenetic battlefield filled with a wealth of crazy techniques and exhibitions of skill.

Played using a two handed keyboard control scheme, Hyper Universe combines the gameplay found in a side-scrolling action platform title with the highly strategic teamoriented play of a MOBA. Every Hyper brings a new strategy and wealth of crazy techniques to the fight.

It’s a Hyper Universe… Anything goes.


Be among the first to leap into unique side-scrolling action MOBA, Hyper Universe, available now on Steam Early Access in North America, South America, Europe, and Oceania.

Players are invited to enter Hyper Universe Early Access for $15.99 (at a temporarily discounted price of $9.99), which includes:

  • 24 unlocked Hypers (playable champions) free along with all their unique equipment (worth an estimated $120), plus unlock four more Hypers just for leveling up
  • The opportunity to provide pivotal feedback to the development team, shaping the game as it moves towards official launch

Once Early Access ends, Hyper Universe will transition to free-to-play for everyone, and the Founders Pack will no longer be available for purchase. Early Access players get to keep the unlocked Hypers for free and earn a special emblem.

Key Features

  • Six Dynamic Character Types: Players have their choice from a diverse set of both new and traditional MOBA roles that create a frenetic battlefield dripping with synergistic opportunities.
  • Inspired by Pop Culture: Hyper Universe offers a multitude of distinctive playable characters, called Hypers, inspired by legendary icons in popular culture.
