Hypercharge: Unboxed - How To Play With Friends (Multiplayer Guide)

screenrant.com:

Most multiplayer games are best enjoyed with friends, and new players of indie shooter Hypercharge: Unboxed may be wondering how to do just that. Designed to capture some of that 90s nostalgia, Hypercharge: Unboxed features a whole host of different PvE and PvP game modes, all of which can be played offline, online, or via LAN with friends. Despite a relatively quiet initial launch, Hypercharge: Unboxed has recently gained plenty of attention, with new players particularly drawn to the game’s co-op PvE modes and unique toybox aesthetic. The game’s split-screen functionality has also drawn people in; games with split-screen are now exceedingly rare despite scattered efforts at a revival, with developers such as Epic including split-screen in Fortnite.

Hypercharge: Unboxed is a passion project from the developers at UK-based indie game studio Digital Cybercherries. At its core, Hypercharge is a first-person and third-person shooter, with game modes based on shooting toy guns, building defenses, and surviving waves of enemies. However, the game distinguishes itself thanks to its unique aesthetic, in which players play as highly customizable action figures straight from a toybox.

The game’s matches are set in playspaces that look like suburban bedrooms, backyards, and 90s-era toy stores. Although split-screen hasn’t regained its status as a staple feature in modern video games, a few toy-based games such as Hot Wheels Unleashed included split-screen play, perhaps hinting at the nostalgia that Hypercharge is also trying to tap into. With the game now gaining some traction, players might want to find out just how to start co-op play with friends, either offline
