Overview
HyperCoven plunges players into the role of a malevolent King, wielding dark sorcery to conquer all. This title aims to recapture the raw, unadulterated feel of classic Real-Time Strategy games, eschewing modern conveniences for a more brutal and direct experience.

The game boasts a custom engine capable of handling hundreds of units simultaneously, ensuring large-scale, chaotic battles.

- Psychedelic Roguelite Strategy: Engage in a unique blend of RTS mechanics with roguelite elements, offering a fresh challenge with permadeath and replayability.
- Massive Unit Control: Command hundreds of active units thanks to a custom engine, supporting both single-player and multiplayer (PvP/PvE) engagements.
