Hypercharge: Unboxed is a 2020 shooter game developed and published by Digital Cybercherries. The game is set in various domestic and retail environments, including bedrooms, garages, bathrooms, gardens, and toy stores, where players assume the role of an action figure.
The primary objective is to defend a central object, referred to as the Hypercore, from successive waves of hostile, animated toys. The main adversary in the game is a character named Major Evil, who leads the attacks against the Hypercore. The narrative suggests that failure to defend the Hypercore would result in humans forgetting about their childhood action figures. The game introduces a character, Sgt. Max Ammo, who plays a significant role in the storyline as the leader of the defense efforts.
Hypercharge: Unboxed was originally released for Windows on Steam Early Access in 2017, with a full release released on Nintendo Switch in January 2020, Windows in April 2020, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S in May 2024, and PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 in May 2025. The game has been met with generally favorable reviews.
