<p>For those unfamiliar with the game, Hyper Universe is a 2D side-scrolling MOBA that combines fast-paced combat with easy to pick-up-and-play controls. At launch, players can choose from a diverse cast of 39 playable characters, called Hypers, each bringing their own unique personalities and skills to the battlefield.</p>
<p>There are six different classes of Hypers to choose from: Tank, Support, Specialist, Striker, Bruiser, and Assassin. Each class receives specific stat bonuses that both complement and amplify their strengths in combat, benefitting you and your teammates. That said, even within the same class, every Hyper has their own fully-developed move set and ability kit, so no matter what playstyle you enjoy you’re sure to find a Hyper that suits you perfectly.</p>

<p><em>Hyper Universe</em> has all the gameplay elements players would come to expect from a traditional MOBA, including minions, towers, jungle camps, and (of course) lots of PvP combat. However, both new and veteran MOBA players will find that <em>Hyper Universe</em> also introduces many improvements to the genre as well. Unlike traditional MOBAs, matches in <em>Hyper Universe</em> are fairly fast-paced, lasting roughly 15-20 minutes each. Another one of the unique aspects of <em>Hyper Universe</em> is the noticeably lower learning curve of expectations set for newer players, particularly when compared with other MOBAs. There are no specific laning positions or metas players are required to learn before starting a match, resources are shared when killing monsters within the jungle, and all players start off with a generous learning curve buff to help them seamlessly get accustomed to the game.</p>
<p>​<em>Hyper Universe</em> also maps perfectly to the Xbox One controller, resulting in a gaming experience that is (quite literally) easy to pick up and play, while the diverse roster of Hypers simultaneously provides a rewarding and excitingly unique experience each time players queue up and enter a new match.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/Hyper-Universe/BZJNW8N57SHJ"><em><strong>Hyper Universe</strong></em></a> will be free to play with Xbox Live Gold and the <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/hyper-universe-ultimate-hypers-pack-pre-order/c3tfd0dx1hdn">Ultimate Hypers Pack</a> will be available for $19.99.</p>
