Hyper Fighters brings back the rail shooter as you know it from the arcade: fast, explosive, addictive, and easy to learn: but so hard to beat the number one highscore! Fourteen trigger-happy arcade-fun stages are now available for one or two players: Shoot dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of enemies out of the sky and water with... From the Steam store page

60 of 166 · most liked firstCouldn't find any video reviews before I bought, but thought it would be a neat way to waste time. Sadly, its just a way to waste time. Its mildly fun for about 60 seconds. The outlandish planes you fly and large bosses you fight against are neat, but not worth the price of admission. This would be a neat arcade game for $0.25/life, but at $9-10, its a waste. Also, as a port, its terrible. I have 1 resolution, no video options, no control list, the view distance is terrible, and given how the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ugly (stuck att low resolution, no antialias or anything like that) and pretty soulless. Too bad; the screenshots looked at least passable and I usually like rail shooters.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Quite funny arcade. Simple and easy, but too overpriced.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This may be one of the worst games ive ever played and its a disgrace to both flying and rail shooters. dont buy it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just keep in mind that I received this game for free: No native controller support No native graphics option No native resolution changing No native key remapping It's a quick-and-dirty Wii port. It looks like it could be so much fun if the user interface was finished or I cared enough to dive into the configuration files to change things. Now I want to play Afterburner or Sine Mora and actually have fun.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As an arcade game with some neat hardware gimmick, no expectation of modern graphics (or graphics options, for that matter), and the ability to walk away after putting in a quarter or two, this might just possibly not be completely terrible. Unfortunately, it is. This game is by Team 6 Studios, who also brought you Glacier 3: The Meltdown, another terrible game that bears many of the same hallmarks as this one. Not only does it not give you the option to change the controls, it doesn't even…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I generally like to wait until I have a handful of hours in a game before I make any sort of recommendations. But sometimes you don't have to bother waiting when there are glaring problems. This is easily Top 10 one of the laziest ports ever made. You play this with the keyboard and mouse (arrow keys to move, mouse to aim) and no option to change that those key bindings. I don't know about you but when I'm using the mouse for aiming I'm more comfortable using WASD for movement. But here's the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game made me feel dead inside. I hate this game, I hate this developer, and I hate that this is "quality" enough to make it onto Steam nowadays. ♥♥♥♥. This. Game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Should have named it the Blur fighters actually , thats what it is :X its just simple arcade fighter with nothing to do except die and reload again till you complete the stage. No tutorials,no idea what the controls are.... you just get some cutscenes out of the blue a must play game if you are high on anything :D this game will fix it for you. the most complex , epic and detailed options menu i have ever seen http://steamcommunity.com/id/liquidsnakehpks/screenshot/3332972979354912345 you…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly, this is not as bad as it seems... ...it's even worse.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got this one for free from giveaway. I dunno this is a rail-shooter game until installed it and trying this one. FYI, I love rail-shooting genre. Its classic. Remind me about arcade game Afterburner by SEGA or Star Wars Rebel Assault by Lucasart. This Hyper Fighters want to be like that, a phenomenal plane rail-shooter game. But it failed & broken in many ways, such as : -. There is no way to change video configuration, wtf ... this is a pc game !? -. There is no way to change control…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Take Afterburner 2. Remove the speed Remove the tension Remove the logic Remove any ability to change settings.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a classic example of how not to make a game. If you want to make games, buy this in a bundle or something as an example of everything you shouldn't do. It took me 1 hour to finish all 14 levels of railshooting intensity on easy because I'm not going to waste my time on a bad game. I even left the game running during a boss sequence--I only died once while inactive for a good 5 minutes--to look up the unrebindable mystery controls since they are never told to you in the menus or the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Stay away from this game, even if it is in a bundle or it is free. To be honest I couldn't play more than two missions - at the end of the second one I had to kill some bomber with a submarine aspect... Graphics - worst I've seen in years. I couldn't tell if I flew over water or plain or dessert. A mix of grey, green and blue on the ground could be anything. Textures and resolution are so low that the game looks like it was made for PS1. Story - zero. Really, zero. You don't know why you fight,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A primitive game with quite low production values. Even if it was freeware I would not play it - just not worth your time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →dont buy this piece of ♥♥♥♥ game its sucks and the graphics are terrible ,omg if i knew it was that kind of junk i wouldnt even spend a cent on this crap
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great moments in flight history: 1783 The Montgolfier brothers' first manned flight 1903 The Wright brothers' first powered flight 1986 Tom Cruise sucking so hard in Top Gun people believed he must be acting. Nobody could be that bad. 2015 I uninstalled this P.O.S. game If you pay $10 for this game, you better be Bill Gates. You should be able to get seconds of enjoyment from this game and even more as it uninstalls.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played the game for 7mins and i couldnt enjoy it, Really starting to believe the developers "Team 6 Studios " dont know how to make a great game. Game instantly reminded me of "ace combat assault horizon" but not in the best way. Did get the game free but i really do hope these developers learn where their issues are at. pros Rail shooter Cons controller support graphics option resolution changing key remapping Laser shooting/auto shooting always switched on me while shooting *bug*
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hyper Fighters... is neither a fighter, nor hyper. And it's very very out of date. Graphics looks dated, gameplay is boring and frustrating. Controls are difficult and virtually unexplained. Why should I ever choose a "maneuverable" fighter in a RAIL-SHOOTER is, well, unexplained. It only runs in one resolution (lousy), and it was just... boring. Even Jane's Advanced Fighters is a better game than this. Really. If you have a few bucks, go buy "Hypersonic 4" on GamersGate. That's crap too,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Reviews say it all. I purchased this one for $0.99 and would have been better off buying a packet of bandaids. First thing I do in every game... setup graphics (nope). Second thing is setup and view my game controls (nope). Your options in this game are setup sound and play game. Can't even view your controls let alone set them to anything. Lame.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Uninstalling is not enough, I will format my computer.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →That's right, this is a thumbs up. Now I'm not recommending that anyone actually pay money for this game. That would be a very silly thing to do. But if you are among the thousands who already own the game from a bundle or a giveaway, I do recommend that you give it a shot. It can be fun, as long as you are aware of the following: - This isn't a flight sim, it's a rail shooter. There is no freedom of movement, other than dodging enemy planes & projectiles - You use arrow keys to dodge,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Usually I objectively deconstruct games for a review and try to talk about the good and bad parts of it, but MY GOD this game is so bad, it gives "Bad Rats" a run for their money. Clearly this must have been a joke by Steam's Quality Assurance.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well, this without any doubt is one of the worst games in my steam library. I got it as a part of a dirt-cheap bundle, so I don't really complain about wasted money, but this game is just ridiculous. When I saw the screenshots my first thoughts were "Well, it looks like a nice little flying arcade", then I noticed the "rail shooter" part, but even this piece of news didn't discourage me... But then I tried to play it. Terrible graphics are one thing, I am tolerant to all that stuff, but when…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got it for free and still feel ripped off.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →OK... Knowing that this was a simple rail shooter when I bought it didn't help when I started it up and there were no graphics options. It is stuck at 1024 x 768. There is no ability to customize controls. The gameplay is kind of meh, but somewhat fun. This winds up being a boring example of an old style game. 5/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Terrible game... no controll options, tutorial, or layout... absolute trash. I want my money back.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is an vastly inferior version of Sin and Punishment crossed with a joyless Ghost Squad. GRAPHICS: Not bad. Not particularly impressive either- 5/10 ADVENTURE: The story is barely existent (though laughably bad at times) and the 'action' is snooze worthy. Blowing up flying submarines has never been so boring- 1/10 MECHANICS: On rails done poorly. Your fighter takes up a lot of the screen making maneuvering and seeing just awful. During the boss fights you spend most of your time…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →omg haha, this game, it's crap, it's terrible, and comicaly so, no way in herll i would reccomend this at full price but if you can get it on sale for a buck, like you can right now, it's good for a few laughs and mindless entertainment, the bosses have some interesting design but take this to heart right now: IT'S A 3D GALAGA CLONE! AN ON A RAIL SHOOTER, fun for a few minutes but not ground breaking, that being said, buy at your own risk, if you own bad rats, try this.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Blecch. I just played it again to be reminded why I didn't like it so here's my breakdown so you don't make the same mistake and try it twice like I did. This game is supposed to be a nod to Afterburner, the massive arcade hit. In this game, you are in a plane of some sort - I don't know, I didn't pay attention to the story. This plane is extremely special in that it has nothing you would expect a modern plane to have. There is no radar, no speed control, and the control scheme is laughable.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Two words can concluded this game: totally stupid
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Norton Antivirus says, that nearly every file is a danger or virus...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"Admiral Rohan sleeps with the fishes." Wait, so are we the air force or the mafia? Thumbs down for failing to wrap up this important plot thread.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Eh this one is a big ol' pile of junk.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very bad game. There is no option. Very bad graphic.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got this key for free and I still feel like I deserve my money back
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is poinless. There is no story and no reward for playing the mission when you can just keep doing it even after your fighter is destroyed... Not for me.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is ♥♥♥♥. It is unacceptably bad. If you like wii graphics because this is a wii port and playing onrails shooting.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →not recommended!!!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just play After Burner.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is actually kinda charming. But that doesn't make up for the lack of support for proper screen resolutions and controllers.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →THIS GAME IS AWESOME!!! Well... For my kids and playing with them in this game is absolutely fantastic. I have three kids all under 5yo and they love to play this game. It's very simple controls and levels have bosses at the end that intrigue their mind. No blood, no guts, no cussing and lots of fun! I would highly recommend this game for the brand new to gaming and family.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this is a bad game in the style of on rail flight shoots with sluggish controls and poor graphics.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you can get this game for free or in a bundle, it's worth playing for ten minutes just so you can see how bad/ tacky it is. It's kind of like opening a fridge full of rotten food, just to see what's inside.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →+ Soundtrack - No barrel roll
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Interesting concept that reminds me of a 3-D bullet hell game. The strongest gripe with this for me is that they should've kept controls in that format and removed the annoying cooldown. Then we'd have a fighting chance. It's playable, but I'd say it's more luck based due to the difficulty of maneuvering and the cooldown. Still is playable on easy mode. Worth on a huge sale or from some random guy in discussions.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't know, honestly. I like it, because it feels like an arcade. Wait, it IS an arcade. People complain about the graphics (which are not exactly top notch, but hey, Doom 2 graphics aren't Crysis-level and that doesn't make it bad), and the fact that it's an on-rails shooter. Hello? It's a somewhat old game, arcade-style, and ported from the Wii of all consoles. Of course it'll have that. CoD fanboys also complain about the resolution. Again, it's a Wii game, and the low res doesn't really…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't get it! If you got it free from bundle: Don't activate the key! It's not good, worth of installing or even adding to your steam collection. 100% crap
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Bad Ass!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The pace of a Lada Niva instead of a jet fighter. Nothing hyper about this.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Old, simple, but hard as ♥♥♥♥
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was about 2 steps away from being great. There is nothing to indicate that you are about to get hit, so when enemies are offscreen, its a crapshoot. The game could have also been ;ess repetitivly put together. Fixing those two things woul have made this a great game. As it stands, it also has some glaring flaws that make it kinda ♥♥♥♥♥♥. I have played worse games (Like Bridge Constructor) but not many. The game seems lazily done. The "Laser sight" is ltterally just a red line…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Terrible port of a boring game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →https://youtu.be/K_cXhdoh-Zc Very poor effort, with tedious and repetitive gameplay and sloppy controls. Best thing is the soundtrack but that's not enough to save this dire experience.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolutely terrible. This on-rails shooter has terrible graphics which leads to enemies spawning out of nowhere in hard to see location. Black submarines spawn in dark water and attack within seconds. Grey jets spawn against a grey sky and launch tiny missles that will damage your plane. Boss fights are the best because since the game is on-rails you can't dodge any bullets and you will just constantly take damage. When you finally die to attrition, the game mocks you for your unavoidable death.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First things first, I got this game for free and I will give my honest opinion on it. NOPE. When I first started the game, which was no more 30 seconds ago, the first thing was that it looked like a PS2 game. I proceeded to check the graphical settings (as most of us would do) to only be presented with simple buttons that change the game slightly such as muting the music. Lets move on to the game itself. I would expect the ability to move the jets around with the directional keys but you…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Poor arcade port. Hyper Fighters is 3d "on the rails" shooter developed by team 6 studios originally on the Wii and ported to PC. As an on the rails type game you have limited control of your jet as you focus on shooting down enemies coming at you. There isn't much of story, but you play as fighter pilot whose task is to save the world from villains accross the world. Positive - 14 levels - Each levels leaves you facing waves of foes and in most levels there is a boss. - 3 planes - each…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very old graphics and not very fun.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →10/10 uninstall simulator. had to waste my 5 mins in game so that i could write this review. this game is good for kids TBH :3 good that i got this game for free through a giveaway on indiegala xD
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What can I say... First of all, when I start the game my screen is 90% black and I can not see anything, I don't understand why. And it is difficult to control the plane, you have to control it with the arrows and to shoot with the clicks from mouse, which does not give good control over game play and you can not customize the controls (just to invert).
