Hive Jump 2: Survivors, developed by Graphite Lab, takes players on a high-octane journey into the heart of alien-infested hives. As a lone survivor of a fallen squad, you are thrust into a battle for survival where skill, strategy, and an arsenal of weaponry are your only hopes. This bullet-heaven action roguelike blends frenetic combat with roguelike progression, delivering a uniquely satisfying experience that keeps you coming back for more.
In Hive Jump 2: Survivors, you're equipped with a jetpack, a range of weapons, and a relentless drive for vengeance. The goal? To fend off waves of vicious alien creatures and transform their remains into powerful upgrades, utilities, and relics. Each run is a new opportunity to build your Jumper, unlock permanent upgrades, and take on even more dangerous enemies.
You can choose between auto-aim and manual aiming to tailor your playstyle. Auto-fire lets you focus entirely on movement, dodging enemy attacks and navigating the environment with your jetpack. But if you prefer more precision, manual aiming allows you to target specific enemies as you dodge incoming fire.
What truly sets Hive Jump 2: Survivors apart from other action roguelikes is its sense of progression and the freedom it offers players. As you battle through the alien hives, you can unlock permanent upgrades that carry over to future runs, giving you an edge from the very start. This gives each run a sense of progression, making your victories feel earned and your defeats part of a larger journey.
The game’s dynamic environment and jetpack mobility also provide a thrilling sense of verticality and freedom. No longer are you limited to the ground; you can dodge enemies, leap across platforms, and quickly get out of tight situations by utilizing the jetpack to its full potential.
Hive Jump 2: Survivors is a fast-paced, thrilling action experience that rewards quick reflexes, strategy, and a thirst for vengeance. Every run feels different, and with endless upgrades and possibilities, players will find themselves returning again and again to perfect their skills and unleash devastating destruction on the alien hordes.
