Featuring a neon 80s style and a synthwave soundtrack, Hyper Jam pits up to four players against each other in fast paced arena combat, utilising weapons such as katanas and rocket launchers along with “game-changing” perks. Rather than simply racking up kills, players must reach a score limit and survive the round in order to emerge victorious.

Perks are drafted between rounds, with those at the bottom of the scoreboard given first pick while the previous round’s winner takes what’s left. Unlocked perks stack throughout rounds, giving players the opportunity to combine powers and create “wholly distinctive builds.”

​An example given is the Pyrogenesis and Vampirism combination, which allows players to burn targets and then leech back health from the burn wounds inflicted.

“Hyper Jam is an explosive arena brawler that combines the precision and satisfying feeling of traditional competitive fighting games with a gritty and splashy neon ‘80s aesthetic,” said Bit Dragon’s Director, Roman Maksymyschyn.

“Our team has had an absolute blast developing and playtesting this game, and we’re just about ready to share it with the world. Look out for it soon!”

Hyper Jam is out 12 February on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 with an RRP of $14.99 (or regional equivalent) and $12.99/€10.79 EUR on Steam.
