Hyper Team Recon

I loved this game so much, genuinely a great time if you just want a little fun time with a cute story and funny characters. My personal GOTY tbh so far, if it came out in 2026 that is. Please make a sequel like the game promised lol I wanna see these slimeys more

Hyper Team Recon is a fun and adorable Platformer, which shines with It's witty and funny writing and pleasant Paper Mario like aesthetic. The writing shine through It's main trio of Ember, Penny and Lite, but also it colorful cast of side characters, who each of them have great design. Characters have great chemistry between each other, which makes experiencing the story a joy. The gameplay is good, with memorable set pieces like the train segment in Chapter 5, the chase segment in Nicola's factory in Chapter 8 and the boss fight in Chapter 9 as a few examples. The best Chapter in my opinion is Chapter 7, which offered good platforming challenges and nice aesthetics. The main gimmick of being able to transform into enemies or side characters was also a fun gimmick, which changed the platforming in good ways, through the likes of the crab or Servitors transformation. The music was good, not much to say. The level clear is very memorable and my favorite track from the game. There is some critic regarding to the gameplay. The transformation gimmick, while fun, could have been more. The game reuses the same enemies/npcs to early on and some transformation are nearly identical or serve a too similar function (for example Nicola and Ohgir just doing a attack around). Furthermore are some of the transformation pretty basic and not that interesting besides doing an attack and being able to break specific strucutre. More transformation should have been like the Bun fly, which offered a change in platforming by changing the physics of the movement or giving movement options. Those transformations were the most fun ones. Overall I recommend Hyper Team Recon as a short, but fun and charming plattformer, with it charming characters and witty writing.

Funny and relaxing! The story is very silly and the characters are adorable. It is fun to run around and use the copy abilities! Had a great time getting 100% of the achievements!
