SUPERHOT Steam Key GLOBAL

Superhot introduces the innovative mechanic, in which time in the game progresses only when the player moves. This requires players to carefully think on their next move, because in Superhot getting hit once means death.Minimalist game with great conceptThe world of Superhot is made of similar, corridor levels. Enemies the player faces throughout the game are identical, red figures, which crumble upon being hit. Despite being so minimalistic in design, Superhot wins over competition with its intriguing concept. In-game time progresses only when players are in motion. While the player stands still enemies can’t attack and already fired bullets stop midway. However, any action can be carried out in-motion only. This mechanic requires players to devise strategies on how to best approach any given situation, because one wrong move may lead to death and restarting the level.GameplaySuperhot features gameplay mechanics characteristic for any FPS game currently available on the market. Players traverse levels taking on enemies using three types of firearms (pistol, shotgun, rifle) and melee combat (fists, katana). Ammunition is scarce and players have to collect weapons off of enemies to proceed. If the ammunition of the players’ firearm is spent they can also use it as throwable weapon to takedown adversaries.However, the main selling point of Superhot is not its adequate FPS gameplay, but an innovative system of manipulating time. In the game it progresses only when the player moves. If the player stands still, so does time. This mechanic introduces elements of strategy into gameplay – player has to decide how to approach tough combat and plan carefully. Enemies in game won’t waste a chance to kill the player and they can do so with only one hit. Getting killed means starting the level from the beginning. Players can use the time-stopping system to their advantage, for example to try and manipulate enemies to shoot at each otherPlotIn Superhot the player assumes the role of fictional version of themselves. While sitting in front of their computer screen displaying the DOS prompt, the player receives a message from a friend. The message says that the mysterious friend has got a hold of a copy of superhot.exe – a new game that has supposedly been “leaked”, and encourages them to try it. As the players turn on the game, they are thrown in a series of levels, fighting enemies, until the game crashes. An update sent by player’s friend is said to fix the crash, inviting the player to resume playing.Development and receptionGame was developed by Superhot Team – a group of independent game developers.
