To put it bluntly, you’ll have a great time.

The choice is yours.
The tutorial, if you wish to play through it, takes minutes.
The game’s vibe is very much about having a good time and not worrying about complex FPS mechanics.

You’ll need to defend your bedroom, bathroom, or garden from the perspective of a toy.
Even a mundane bathroom can be an interesting obstacle course when you’re tiny.
Sometimes, destroying everything in your path isn’t the answer!

Yes the army men have tanks too, the audacity.
When I say Hypercharge is easy to learn, I really mean it.
That was until the toy store level.

Speaking of terrifying, have you ever felt personally victimized by a Beyblade?
Again, I couldn’t even be mad.

The game does a fantastic job of keeping the fast-paced action going.

“How did you die 3 times?”
“Those goddamn Beyblades!”
I played on both Xbox Series S and X and had no frame rate drops or lag spikes.
This is a family game, but someone always has to lower the tone…
Basically, if you’ve seen any 80s action movie, you’ll find the soundtrack familiar.
Hypercharge review: Should you play it?
So get ready to defend toy-kind and relive your childhood adventures.
