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. Gather your forces by enslaving diverse tribes, and enhance your fighters with unique trinkets. The game boasts a custom engine capable of handling hundreds of units simultaneously, ensuring large-scale, chaotic battles.

Highlights

  • Old-School RTS Core: Experience "brute pathing," "brute targeting," and "brute casting," where every unit acts independently without modern AI assists like overkill prevention or unit blob management.
  • 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.

Who It's For

Fans of classic RTS games seeking a challenging and uncompromised experience will find HyperCoven particularly appealing. Players who enjoy deep strategic thinking, managing large armies, and don't shy away from the unforgiving nature of permadeath will thrive here. The psychedelic visuals and roguelite twists also cater to those looking for something beyond traditional RTS fare.
