About this game

HopBound is a story-driven psychological horror game that revolves around the surreal mind of Mayumi, a recluse who must journey through an unsettling retro game to come to terms with the ghosts of her past. Through 16-bit horror platformer stages and endless runner levels with gorgeous pixel art, she discovers that her sanity will be tested by something lurking behind the screen.

=====

NOSTALGIC VISUALS
Most of the game's stunning visuals use a palette of only four colors to evoke the retro charm of 90s handheld games.

SPINE-CHILLING AUDIO
Listen to unique ambient music that provide a sense of dream-like dread as you explore the game's sinister levels.

A STANDALONE CONTINUATION
Taking place two years after the events of DERE EVIL EXE, HopBound serves as a continuation of that story. However, users do not need to play DERE EVIL EXE to immerse themselves in HopBound's narrative experience.

HEART-POUNDING MONSTERS
Enemies from previous games are brought back to life and have evolved into new incomprehensible forms.

MULTIPLE GAME MODES
Engage in frenzied platforming in story-rich levels and test your skills in infinite runner levels tailored for people who like competing for high scores on the leaderboard.

MEANINGFUL MACHINATIONS
Going against sequel conventions, HopBound doesn't go bigger and badder for the scale of its story. Instead, the game focuses inward, resulting in a haunting yet meaningful tale.

So many ads it's unplayable. the point of the game is to die over and over. So especially when you first start playing, you're probably going to die in the first 5 seconds. Which isn't a big deal but that's going to keep happening. So every two or three deaths you have to watch an ad. Which means you're watching an ad about once every 60 sec AT BEST. At worst it's an ad every 20 sec the ads should be time based especially when it's a game where the whole point is die over and over.

Good story, with an interesting artstyle and challeging gameplay. If you like difficulty and story you'll enjoy HOPBOUND. It also has a meta style of storytelling, where the main character is playing the same game you are and you have to go inside an app within the game to talk to people. My only issue is the ads because i think they play after a certain number of deaths, and since you'll be dying a lot very quickly you'll be getting a lot of ads in a short timespan. Still, i recommened 100%

If I could I'd go 3.5, but I think this is the worst Game of the series. Not that it's terrible or anything, just the first 2 were much better. The controls were good in this the graphics for the most part are fine (imo the enemies looked like bullets) the story was okay, not as scary as the last ones though. I really didn't like the gun addition personally, and never really felt creeped out, I laughed at the horrors sometimes. Ads were bad, I dont mind ads but unskipable 30 second ones is crazy
