Enjoyed what the SUPERHOT Team provided with the original SUPERHOT back in 2016? You’re in luck because they are back, this time with SUPERHOT: MIND CONTROL DELETE on Xbox One, PS4 and PC. And if you previously purchased the original game, chances are you’ll get access to this one for absolutely no additional price. Yep, FREE!
Available to purchase and download right now on Xbox One, PS4 and PC (via nearly every form you could imagine – Steam, Humble Store, Epic Games Store, GOG, Origin) – SUPERHOT: MIND CONTROL DELETE is the evolution of the SUPERHOT series, and having first been conceived as free DLC for the first game, we find it here as its own standalone title.
Priced at £19.99 – discounted to £11.99 for one week – or like mentioned, free to those who previously purchased SUPERHOT, SUPERHOT: MIND CONTROL DELETE really does follow the same brilliant formula from the first game, pushing players to work their way through multiple stages, taking down hordes of red dudes in the process. Again, and if you know little about SUPERHOT this is the main USP, time is directly linked to your movement – stand still and you should be safe, but move an inch and you’ll find foes and bullets coming at you from all angles.
It is this unique selling point that really ensures that SUPERHOT: MIND CONTROL DELETE stands out from the rest, however it’s not just a standard build on the first game as here we discover a lovely little roguelite element thrown in too. Yep, in SUPERHOT: MIND CONTROL DELETE the stages you partake in, and the weaponry, skills, and abilities that you get to utilise, are random, letting you play the way you want to play. If you find something not working, you’re well within your rights to mix it up to try an entirely different route.
The inclusion of this roguelite mechanic sets SUPERHOT: MIND CONTROL DELETE apart from near on everything else, yet even when you’re done with the main story that slowly unfolds in the background, an Endless Mode will drag you in even more. Yes you’ll constantly be outnumbered, and chances are you’ll be utterly outgunned, but that is where SUPERHOT: MIND CONTROL DELETE excels.
If you need some more SUPERHOT in your life then SUPERHOT: MIND CONTROL DELETE can be grabbed from the usual digital stores right now. We wouldn’t be doing our job right if we didn’t point you in the direction of the Xbox Store, but if you prefer to utilise the PlayStation Store, or any of those PC offerings we mentioned at the top of this piece, we’re not going to hold it again you. There will also be a Nintendo Switch edition rolling along at some point.
However you play SUPERHOT: MIND CONTROL DELETE matters little – just play it. NOW. Oh, and let us know in the comments what you think of it once you have spent some time in the hacked world.
Game Description:
Greed won’t set you free. And yet you’re still here. You’re looking for more. Fine. Suit yourself. You know this won’t have a happy ending. You stand in the center of a firefight. A hail of slow motion bullets is inching slowly towards your face. You see bright red enemies frozen in place as they run towards you. Weapons in hand, they’re stepping over the shattered remains of the foes you just dispatched. Everything is sharp, silent, and still. Light flickers across the red crystal shards coating the cold concrete floor. A gun slowly spins as it arcs through the air. The weapon dropped by an enemy as their dying body exploded in a shower of brilliant red shrapnel. You take a moment to consider. You’ve been here before. So many times. Maybe this time it will actually mean something. You take a breath. You sidestep and dodge. Your hand reaches for the gun. Just like it has so many times before. Everything explodes into action. You hope this time will be different. Built on the foundations of SUPERHOT and SUPERHOT VR, MIND CONTROL DELETE continues to bring you more of SUPERHOT’s signature power fantasy. Time moves only when you move. Enemies pour in from every direction. You are in complete control as you shoot, slice, and explode your way through dozens and dozens of increasingly challenging combat encounters. The closer you get to the core, the more powerful you become. You amass an arsenal of skills and weapons. You uncover snippets of precious knowledge – of the meaning that you crave so much. You shoot and slice. You move forward. You repeat. You repeat. You repeat. It becomes a ritual. It starts to mean something again. The third game in the SUPERHOT franchise – MIND CONTROL DELETE gives you more insight into the world of SUPERHOT, more story, more signature gameplay. Keep dancing the slow motion ballet of destruction for so much longer than ever before.
