The player can unlock two types of powerups in the game: the first one, “cores,” are powers that remain active throughout the whole node while the second one ,” hacks,” are powers that can be chosen between two levels of a node. The player then discovers the game’s progression system: they can navigate thanks to a map with unlockable “nodes” that contain optional or mandatory game sections, new unlockable abilities, or plain text files. This title naturally reuses its elder’s base mechanics and chooses to change its level design and structure in ways that often surprise, sometimes unnerve the player.Īt first, the player happily goes through the different areas the game has to offer: a bullpen with many walls that force the player to go look for enemies, a subway station inspired by the first game, and a nightclub with a frenzied soundtrack which also serves as one of the game’s only musical tracks.

That same year, the Super Hot team announced the “ Superhot Presents” funding to help other independent game projects: a commendable initiative that testified all the more to the game’s success.Ģ020 marked the next step for the Superhotseries, with the release of Superhot: Mind Control Delete on July 16th, a standalone expansion, free of charge for those who bought Superhotbefore that date. The game’s development team would even announce in 2019 that Superhot VR outsold the base game’s sales, with over 800,000 copies sold. A seamless transition for this game, whose main mechanics were a perfect fit for VR’s codes. The game was also adapted into VR in 2016, with an Oculus Quest version released in 2019.

On its final release, which was much anticipated after its prototype – which can be played here – and very promising alpha and beta versions, Superhot received undeniable critical and commercial success, which led to ports for the PS4 (2017), Nintendo Switch (2019), and even Google Stadia (2020). A refreshing and much-needed game in a market that was saturated by FPS that were often sequels or reboots of existing series: indeed, the major FPS of 2015 were Battlefield Hardline (Visceral Games, Electronic Arts PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One), Wolfenstein: The Old Blood (MachineGames, Bethesda Softworks PC, PS4, Xbox One), Halo 5: Guardians (343 Industries, Microsoft Studios Xbox One), Call of Duty: Black Ops III (Treyarch, Activision PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One) and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege (Ubisoft Montréal PC, PS4, Xbox One).
This singular approach placed Superhot somewhere between FPS and RTS, between Counter-Strike and Age of Empires. The whole point of the game is to carefully plan each action, as enemies often surround the player from the get-go. If they decide to stay still, so will their enemies. The innovative and aesthetically unique FPS rests on an elementary principle: the player’s actions and movements dictate the events’ temporality.
In 2016, Superhot, developed by the Superhot Team and published by IMGN.PRO was released on PC, Xbox One and Linux.
