How co-op works
Up to four players tackle the full campaign locally, online, or in mixed split screen. Before each wave they build defenses, search for weapons and resources, and complete objectives; during attacks they coordinate fire and protect the shared Hypercore.
About this game
Step into a world where action figures come to life in this first and third-person shooter built around wave defense and teamwork. HYPERCHARGE: Unboxed drops you and your squad into toy-sized battles, defending the Hypercore from waves of weaponized toys while completing objectives and pushing back the forces of Major Evil in a full story campaign. You can play solo, but the game truly shines in co-op, whether you're teaming up online or sharing a screen locally.

Objectives range from fortifying defenses to securing key positions, and the wave-based structure keeps pressure high as you coordinate loadouts, cover angles, and resource management with your team. The toy battleground setting adds charm without sacrificing tactical depth, and switching between first and third-person perspectives lets you find the view that suits your playstyle.
Split-screen and online co-op are both supported, along with cross-platform play and LAN options. Communication becomes essential as waves ramp up, making voice chat or quick callouts a real advantage. Sessions blend tower defense planning with shooter intensity, rewarding squads that work together and adapt under fire.
