Hyper Jam is Hitting the Xbox One in the First Half of February

Bit Dragon has a game that might interest fans of ’games-that-brawl’ as they are set to release Hyper Jam in time for Valentines Day. What is this game you ask?

You’ll be challenging friends, strangers, and even loved ones to local or online multiplayer matches for up to four players, trading blows on vibrant ‘80s-inspired arenas using a suite of deadly weapons ranging from katanas to rocket launchers, while upgrading yourself with a variety of game-changing perks that are drafted between rounds.

In battle, you will use your combat prowess and situational awareness to strike other players and make use of environmental hazards like speeding trains in a Neo-Tokyo subway or the treacherous rooftop ledges of a sun-drenched Miami hotel. But emerging victorious isn’t as simple as racking up kills, as winners will need to reach the score limit and survive a full round to triumph

Take on players from all over the world with cross-platform play that allows the PC community to throw down with challengers playing on consoles in online free-for-all death-match games.

You will prepare for the battles to come by selecting from a range of persistent perks that provide new abilities. A scoreboard at the end of each round determines the order of the perk draft – whoever is coming last gets the first pick of perks and the winner takes whatever’s left. While everyone begins at a level playing field, fighters will enhance their skills the longer matches draw on, stacking and combining powers to create wholly distinct builds. For example, a player with the Pyrogenesis and Vampirism perks can set others ablaze and recover health from the burn wounds.

So, does this interest you? Even if it doesn’t, feel free to check out the trailer below to see the game in action:
