Strap on your helmet, get behind the wheel of a souped-up space Cadillac and throw down the gauntlet in this neon-fueled arcade shooter dripping in Spacewar sauce.
WATCH THE LAUNCH TRAILER MAYHEM HERE!
Choose from 8 rad tricked out space cars then begin wreaking havoc through 4 space arenas — with 8 more cars and 4 more arenas available to unlock. Players begin each match with their standard machine guns and shields but can quickly up the ante by flying through any of the 10 pick-up weapons which include shotguns, grenades, homing missiles, energy spears, laser sniper rifles and mines. Are you more of a defensive player? Just raise your shield and laugh with glee as you bounce bullets back in the face of your attackers. Boom!
Did we mention you can experience all this action, strategy and mayhem in a SPACE CADILLAC?
Hyperdrive Massacre gives you 6 modes in which to dominate your friends and family. Some of these modes include the classic, every man, woman and child for themselves mode of Deathmatch, outlast everyone in a game of Last Man Standing, unleash your skills that pay the bills in Space Soccer, prove who’s the fastest in DeathRace, or put on your leg warmers and headbands in a retro game of Space Pong. Don’t have 3 living beings to fill up the other player slots? Turn on the vicious AI and set its difficulty setting to see who would win in the age old battle of man vs. machine.
