Huperternal 2005 begins with our protagonist, a prisoner, being sent inside an underground base, handcuffed inside a monorail. The army quarantined the area since the compound, where some civilians like scientists and other employees are still trapped, was overrun by mutant creatures. After an incident the prisoner frees himself and start exploring the area…
Huperternal 2005 is an action game with real-time combat: the protagonist can attack monsters with melee weapons and firearms, but he has also to avoid traps and jump over obstacles. There are some dialogues with innocent bystanders, but most of the game is about exploring the base, avoiding or destroying the monstrous mutated creatures. Game uses a custom made interface, custom graphics for the monsters, and some edited sprite (the protagonist faceset for example is a rip from Dragonball).
Random Fact: I have no idea about who is the creator of this game since there is no mention anywhere. Maybe someonethat familiar with old russian rpgmaker of the 2005-2006 would know. I guess!
Final Verdict: this is a rpgmaker action-adventure that fortunately isn't as combat intensive as I feared. The setting is pretty interesting, a sci-fi horror setting with some similarities with the world of Half Life (the outside areas seen in the intro look like Black Mesa, it's an underground facility with scientists trapped with monsters... pretty similar I'd say!), only darker and more violent. In the end this was a pretty interesting demo.
