Hyper Sentinel Fusion Blends Classic Arcade Action with Extraction Shooter and Roguelite Elements
Hyper Sentinel Fusion, the latest project by Huey Games, aims to reignite the nostalgia of 1980s and 1990s gaming while introducing modern gameplay innovations.
Andrew and Rob Hewson, renowned industry veterans responsible for iconic arcade titles, are once again making waves as they prepare to launch the Kickstarter campaign for Hyper Sentinel Fusion—a follow-up to their 2018 release, Hyper Sentinel. Drawing inspiration from legendary classics like Uridium and Paradroid, Hyper Sentinel Fusion is set to deliver a unique fusion of high-octane arcade shooting, extraction shooter tactics, and roguelite progression.
The developers describe the experience as “an explosive combination of gameplay styles from Uridium and Paradroid, layered with the contemporary challenge of extraction shooter and roguelite mechanics.” Reimagining Retro with Modern Flair A distinctive aspect of Hyper Sentinel Fusion is its physical release: the game will be shipped on a custom-designed floppy disk.
Far from a mere homage, this floppy disk cleverly conceals a USB drive loaded with the DRM-free game for PC and Mac, alongside various digital extras.
This nod to classic storage solutions taps into the sentimental value of floppy disks for longtime gamers, while ensuring compatibility with current hardware. According to the game’s Kickstarter pre-launch page, "sliding open that floppy shutter will unveil a hidden USB stash stocked with the new retro game and bonus digital content, reminiscent of discovering secret cheat codes from the past." This innovative packaging underlines Huey Games’ commitment to bridging the gap between gaming generations. Multi-Platform Expansion Hyper Sentinel Fusion is not limited to PC and Mac.
As announced, digital editions will be available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.
A fully playable demo is now live and accessible on Steam, offering an early look at the crisp pixel art, dynamic level design, and genre-blending mechanics that define the game. A Legacy of Innovation Andrew and Rob Hewson—whose résumé includes some of the most revered titles from the golden age of British game development—have continued to push boundaries through Huey Games.
Their previous release, Hyper Sentinel, garnered attention for its modern reimagining of side-scrolling shooters and its polished, accessible gameplay. With Hyper Sentinel Fusion, the team at Huey Games are set to capture a new generation of players while charming retro enthusiasts with thoughtful, authentic callbacks to arcade history.
As the gaming community eagerly awaits the Kickstarter launch and subsequent digital releases across platforms including Nintendo Switch and Xbox Series X, Hyper Sentinel Fusion stands poised to blend nostalgia and innovation in a way few modern titles achieve. Stay tuned for more updates as Huey Games prepares to bring Hyper Sentinel Fusion to life, reaffirming the enduring appeal of both classic arcade action and inventive, cross-generational game development.
