HYPER DEMON is an FPS like no other. a pearl of lightning. a dream from the future. a drop of poison. a swan song. The faster you slay demons, the harder the game and the higher your score. There is an end. Will it see you?

The value story

September 2024 is where it bottomed out, at $3.74. Its cuts run 55 percent off as a rule. There have been 39 in the 4 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart. Today's $5.09 at 66 percent off still sits 36 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

Value puts it in the top 3 percent of the games it competes with. It is better reviewed than 92 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Post Void ($2.99, scores 92) beats it on value, while it beats Devil Daggers ($9.99, scores 78).

On this data it would still be a BANGER at $20.16. It costs $5.09.

Of the 399 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 16 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written June 2023 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,071 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 263 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 89 percent of the 1,234 reviews written there were positive, against 94 percent overall, and those are 40 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

Not sure if the dev would agree, but if Devil daggers would be hell, Hyper Demon is rather a purgatory. Great mind numbing experience by all means.
KroketaRecommendedafter 21h1 found this helpfulRead on Steam
Easily the most intense skill based indie game on the market. The sound in this game is insanity.

someone cooked here…. Unlike any FPS, highly recommend, this game is beautiful all around.
