The story is even more bonkers than before, and will make little sense whether you played the first or not. Because they’re assigned by chance (you’ll always pick from a choice of two random hacks), you can’t plan for them, and so if you improve your survivability at every available opportunity you can’t really go wrong with your “build”. Fast reloads, bigger mags and increased movement speed are nice little bonuses, but they’re all dressing, really. After all, your time manipulation power is already potent, and simply taking the extra heart every time will keep you alive. If anything, some of the new skill hacks feel like overkill. I won’t spoil the details, but the change of pace and tactics is welcome despite the increased challenge. For the first time, this expansion introduces new enemy types and bosses that will take more than just shooting to overcome. Also, some enemies can’t be disarmed in MIND CONTROL DELETE, which forces you to keep moving and thus keep time pushing forward. More hacks can be unlocked, too, such as one that makes thrown items explode on impact, or another that grants you a devastating charged punch.Įach new hack changes the way you play, such as one that causes you to unleash a forward-facing explosion when you lose a heart, and therefore makes it almost worth taking a hit to clear out a room. Some will give more hearts, heal you, or assign you a random gun at the start of each scenario. As you progress you’ll periodically choose a mind hack, that alters a fundamental element like increasing movement speed or the number of bullets in a gun. What’s more, you have three lives now, represented by hearts, so insta-kills are no longer a thing. While missions and scenarios aren’t randomly generated, they are randomly queued, so each “run” is different. To remedy this, stand alone expansion MIND CONTROL DELETE transforms Superhot into a first-person roguelike, presenting a change of pace on the same scale as the VR version did. Throwing, dodging, shooting and punching is fun, as is the bizarre, dimension-blurring metaworld in which it’s set, but sooner or later you’ll have seen all it has to offer and all that remains then is to solve each violent, slow-motion puzzle the game throws at you. Beating an area and defeating all the enemies rewards you with a full speed replay of events in which you look like an unassailable badass.īut as cool as Superhot undoubtedly is, it’s limited. It forces you to weigh up every movement, to determine if making a kill is worth risking a bullet, as any hit will kill you instantly and force you to restart the scenario. Superhot is a shooter wherein time only moves when you move, so a bullet fired from a gun will remain poised in the air, millimetres from the barrel, until you perform any action. So for those who have never played it, and especially those who have seen it in motion and presumed to know what it’s all about, I’ll explain briefly. Depending on which part you watch it either looks like any other FPS, or like a clunky first person adventure that stops and starts and seems filled with fail states. It’s a first person shooter, after all, which are pretty much ten-a-penny on any platform, and if you only watch it being played without playing it yourself it’s easy to wonder why it’s worth a fanfare. Maybe “recognition” is a better word, because not enough people played it in the first place. Well, maybe not love, because most who played it loved it. Seriously, ask us anything.2016’s Superhot deserves more love. On this occasion we'd love to chat about games, design, friday k-pop, office doggos, programming, porting games to smart fridges or absolutely anything. We've developed SUPERHOT, SUPERHOT VR and recently we've released SUPERHOT: MIND CONTROL DELETE. For the sake of clarity we've linked some of them here: That's it! Thank you for doing this AMA with us! Have a great weekend!Ī lot of good questions have been asked.
