HyperParasite - Nintendo Switch - Nicalis

Possess your enemies and unleash neon-soaked chaos in a ruthless twin-stick roguelite.

Become the body-stealing alien menace in HyperParasite, a top-down shooter set in a grimy, 1980s-inspired dystopia. Every run is different as you jump between hosts, adapt to their abilities, and claw your way through procedurally generated streets toward ultimate annihilation.

Feed on humanity by inhabiting over 60 distinct host characters, each offering a unique attack and Smackdown. Death hits hard—one blow in parasite form ends your run—so keep swapping bodies to survive. Hunt bosses, rip their brains, and trade them to Wito to permanently unlock new hosts for future attempts.

Explore five acts packed with secrets, shifting layouts, and tough-as-nails encounters. Crank the volume for original beats by Van Reeves and Joe Kataldo, and double the devastation in local co-op for two players.

Grab the Nintendo Switch physical edition and start the invasion today.
