HyperRogue Reviews

Hyperbolic space is so big. You don't understand. There's so much space!!!! There's a zone full of plants with constantly growing vines and every single one of those plants is continually taking up more and more space but you just, never run out of space. There is always more space. This is a really unique game. PS if you are at all prone to motion sickness then this game can be ROUGH, especially if you like to play fast. Something to be aware of. It's worth it though.

The default layout is a bunch of regular hexagons (6) and heptagons (7) tiled together in an infinite honeycomb pattern. Sounds like that shouldn't be possible without deforming the tiles, but in this game it works just fine! The game is unique. It's the uniquest game I've ever played. If you want to get lost in a world so infinite that there's no conceivable way to ever go in circles, this is it. Each area/biomie is boundless in every direction (except one area), but new infinite areas are also reachable in every direction. It's paradoxical how utterly massive this world is. And how diverse the areas are: infinite whirlpools pulling you into a center infinitely far away, being chased by infinitely big monsters as you delve deeper and deeper into enemy land, a perfectly round table that's a MILLION times longer than it is wide, an infinitely tall tree you're supposed to climb, oceans, beaches, swamps, dungeons, deserts etc etc etc. The point is exploration, so explore the unique mechanics of every area! Oh and collect the save point power-up so you don't have to start over all the time. Not to worry, even starting in the same place 100 times you won't need to run through the same area twice, hyperbolic space is just that "big". It also has special funky game modes to explore different kinds of geometries. But those might break your brain a little bit.
