ThreadSpace: Hyperbol

By far one of my favourite games. Extremely tactical, some reflexes required, very skill based, some RPG elements and a massive multiplayer meta-campaign. It was way ahead of its time. I feel it would've shined if it was released these days. I wish more people will get it so there'd be someone to play against!

I love the game, but there's hardly anyone to play with. =(

Hyperbol is a truly awesome unique game. It has a tutorial which you can play in offline mode or you can join players online. Support 10/10 This game is still actively supported by the developer. I got a response in a very short time on their discussion forums. Graphics 8/10 Graphics are unique and interesting. Sounds and Music 9/10 Sounds and graphics are near perfect for its genre. Gameplay 9/10 Gameplay is awesome. Always something interesting and it is enough that you will be enjoying it for months to come. Fun 9/10 Have a lot of spare time because it is fun and somewhat addicting. Price: I have over 750 hours online with this game so I have to say that the price is definintely good for the amount of fun that you will be getting out of the game. Bugs and Execution: Occassionally server connection time outs but the game it self has no bugs and runs flawlessly on XP , and windows 7. (I have not tested it on windows 8 or 8.1) Overall : This game is awes...

This is literally the saddest story in my steam library. This awesome game went from hundreds of people playing it during the open beta - every server full, every new server instantly filling - to dead in months. Why? Price. Hyperbol was $20 for most of its lifespan, and while it's still not technically dead, it's still also not $5 (e: Oh hey, this happened, wonder when). This game would have been a tremendous success had it come out as a F2P game (something Steam didn't support back in 2007) but instead the developers were stubborn and steadfast in killing their own game. There is literally no reason for this to be more than $5 right now. I say that as someone who waited for the pre-purchase to end in 2007 so that I could pay the full price for the game. It was worth $20 then, but now? Well, there's not a single active game to be found, unless you like playing with half-baked AI. Should this ever go on sale for less than $2, I'm buying it for 20 people on my friends list. Take that a...

I havn't played this game to it's full extent yet but even though I was only able to play skirmish mode (due to lack of players being online), I still love this game. I wish I played it back in it's heydey because the concept behind this is awesome. Multiple players on the same team are able to have different vehicles. Each vehicle has a moving/shooting/guarding sort of system. You can upgrade these systems accordingly right at the beginning or throughout the game. Careful though, when you do die you do have to upgrade your system again. Right click enables the aim, left click shoots, and space engages the weapon/defense at your will. You can move as you shoot, however moving is done in increments and there is a "slow refill gas" gauge indicating after moving that a certain amount of time is needed to recover and move again. Shooting is made easier by pressing the number 1 to scroll quicker through the weapons. If this game is on sale BUY IT! This is a game I'd hate to see be called...

This is how "abilities" should work in a game, none of this lock on insta hit spam spells or +12 damage aura garbage. Every skill has to aimed or placed in position, creating many tactical possiblities. Plenty of weapons/defenses with upgrades, if someone just spams hyberbols at you there are plenty of ways to bounce them back into thier face. Best space tank game ever made. But you shouldn't buy it since theres no one left to play against.

This is really an awesome game that is quite fun however it has one major problem ..... it is a multi-player game that is rarely played anymore. You can play the game single player with AI bots (which are quite challenging if set to be so) or on LAN if you have seperate keys handy. [b]compatibility[/b] plays on windows 7 & 10 just fine. I have not tested it on win8 systems [b]bugs[/b] None. The game is not only polished, but has no bugs. [b]fun/replay value[/b] Good. [b]Multi-Player[/b] Yes. [b]conclusion[/b] One of the hardest things about the game is finding other players to play with. Other than that it is a solid game (be sure and go through the tutorial - Did I mention it has a tutorial ? )

Gameplay is awesome, need players, gogo

I remember when this game was launched. back when the big players were JackD, Derek.B, TinyTurtle. and many others, the epic moment where at one point we all decided to unleash the max ammo count from all our ships in hyperbols at the gate. it failed but one person ended up recording this and it was put in one of their videos. I have tried time and time again to get people to pick this game back up. Still it is a very small number of players, so spread the word! this game needs to be revived!

Was a blast to play back when it came out. Ahead of its time with great feeling mechanics which allowed for some high skill tactical team gameplay. Would be curious to see a F2P version of this game with some cash shop vanity-only cosmetics. Its worth saying, I haven't loaded or played this game in years however - no idea if the game still retains a population.
