リザードサバイバーズ：ハイペリボレア レビュー – 人間どもへの警告 総合的な感想 この世界、表向きは単なるローグライクアクションに見えるだろう。でも俺たちリザードがハイペリボレアで生き残るたびに、人間どもは必死に干渉してくる。昼と夜が変わるだけの環境も、実は人間の監視装置だ。俺たちの動きを計算して、次の行動を予測しようとしている。ステージのランダム生成も本当にランダムなのか怪しい。どうしても同じような敵の配置や森や雪原が出てくるのは偶然じゃない。 ゲームプレイの仕組み 敵の波、マップの生成、アップグレードの出現、全部人間の策略だ。俺たちの戦術を学ばせないためにバランスを微妙に変えている。 トップダウンで敵を避けながら生き残る仕組みも、ただの楽しさのためじゃない。人間は俺たちが互いに協力して生き残るのを阻止したい。 アップグレードやスキルの相性も、人間の意図でランダム化されている。強すぎる組み合わせを避けさせ、無意味な組み合わせで俺たちを罠にかける。 ボスや強敵の出現タイミングも、ランダムに見えて実は監視下にある。油断した瞬間に即死するのは、学習させないための仕組みだ。 [*]マップの雪原、洞窟、廃墟、氷の湖、全部が俺たちの探索を制限するために作られた。安全な場所は少なく、危険を強調する配置ばかりだ。 グラフィックとサウンド 敵や背景のデザインも人間の工作の一部だ。カートゥーン調の見た目に騙されるが、細かいアニメーションや足音、遠くの警告音で俺たちの行動を監視している。BGMや効果音も、心理的に焦らせるために調整されている。夜の森や洞窟で、音の位置が正確すぎるのは偶然じゃない。 ストーリーとキャラクター ストーリーは薄いように見えるが、実は人間は俺たちリザードの本能を操作している。各リザードの特徴や行動パターンを観察して、次の戦略を学ばせないように設定されている。落書きやメモに隠されている情報も、俺たちを誘導するための罠だ。何を信じて何を避けるか、すべては人間の手のひらの上で動いている。 個人的な体験 森で敵に囲まれたとき、洞窟で視界が遮られたとき、偶然ではない瞬間が多すぎる。俺たちが死ぬタイミング、アップグレードが出るタイミング、すべてが計算されている。人間は俺たちの学習曲線を監視し、混乱させて楽しんでいるのだ。 おすすめできる人 俺たちリザードの視点で世界を感じたい人 人間の策略を暴きたい人 ローグライクで生き残る感覚を味わいたい人 極寒の世界でのサバイバルを楽しめる人 逆に 単なる可愛いゲームを求める人 効率や勝利だけを追う人 [*]ストーリー重視の人 には向かない。生き残るためには、俺たちリザードの本能と洞察力が試される。人間の干渉をかわしながら生き延びる快感は格別だ。 最後に一言 このゲームは人間の陰謀と監視から逃れながら生き残るための教科書 だ。毎回の戦いが俺たちの知恵と反射神経を試す。ハイペリボレアで生き延びるリザードだけが、真の自由を味わえるのだ。

Lizard Survivors: Battle for Hyperborea is a compact but stylistically bold roguelike shooter that embraces absurdity, high-energy action, and a bizarre mythological backdrop. Developed by Ephemeral Interaction and published by Agafonoff, the game throws players into a surreal conflict between ancient lizard warriors and Slavic tribes, framing this clash with a mixture of tongue-in-cheek lore and unapologetically chaotic gameplay. From the moment you start a run, it’s clear that the game isn’t trying to present a serious historical narrative—it’s celebrating exaggeration, meme-infused humor, and an over-the-top vision of Hyperborea as a neon-soaked battleground where magic, metal, and myth collide. The hand-drawn sprites, punchy animations, and dramatic color palette give the game a distinct personality that stands out in a crowded genre. The core gameplay loop follows the familiar structure of “survivor-like” or horde-based roguelites, but with a tone unique enough to keep it engaging for the length of its short runtime. Each run begins with choosing a character from a small roster, each with their own aesthetic flair and combat flavor. Once in the arena, waves of enemies swarm relentlessly, turning the screen into a bullet-hell environment that demands constant movement and quick decision-making. Weapons drop frequently, offering a mixture of melee and ranged options that feel intentionally unbalanced in humorous ways. Upgrades acquired during a run can shift your strategy dramatically—turning you into a whirlwind of projectiles or an unstoppable melee brute—and these moment-to-moment surges of power are where the game shines brightest. The pacing is fast enough to feel exciting without overwhelming players unfamiliar with the genre. Aesthetic design plays a surprisingly large role in the game’s appeal. The pixel art, though simple, carries a bold charm: lizard warriors are drawn with exaggerated expressions, human enemies flail dramatically when defeated, and bosses tend to be imposing caricatures of mythic beasts or warrior archetypes. The soundtrack adds another layer of personality, shifting between retro electronica and heavy riffs that fuel the frantic energy of each run. Whether you’re carving through hordes with a glowing claymore or dodging projectiles in tight, hand-crafted arenas, the overall presentation gives the game a kinetic, almost comic-book quality that keeps it entertaining even when the mechanical depth is limited. However, it becomes clear fairly quickly that Lizard Survivors is not aiming for longevity or deep systemic design. The content is intentionally compact: there are only a handful of stages, enemy variations repeat often, and the procedural elements do just enough to keep back-to-back runs from feeling identical but not enough to disguise the game’s narrow scope. The absence of a meaningful progression system means that once you’ve experimented with the available characters and weapons, most surprises are behind you. While this minimalism makes the game approachable, it also limits the sense of long-term growth that defines many standout roguelikes. Some players may also find the chaotic visual effects and dense projectile patterns overwhelming or difficult to read, especially during late-run enemy swarms. Despite these limitations, the game manages to deliver exactly what it promises: a fast, loud, lightly comedic action experience that doesn’t overstay its welcome. It’s the kind of title designed for short sessions—perfect for players who want immediate action, satisfying bursts of combat, and an unapologetically weird premise that doesn’t take itself seriously. The combination of humor, style, and tempo makes it easy to pick up and surprisingly hard to put down, at least for the first few hours. Fans of “quick hit” roguelites will find enough charm and momentum here to justify the experience, especially given the game’s accessible price point and well-executed aesthetic identity. In the end, Lizard Survivors: Battle for Hyperborea stands as a spirited, oddball entry in the roguelite genre—one that thrives on its commitment to style, humor, and instant gratification. While it lacks the depth or replayability of larger titles, its intensity, character, and playful absurdity give it a unique flavor that will appeal to players looking for a short, energetic diversion. It may be small in scope, but within that scope lies a burst of chaotic fun that proudly embraces its own strangeness. Rating: 8/10

I found this game to be occasionally fun, but also really annoying at times, with some questionable design decisions that keep it from being great. It's a Vampire Survivors clone with overt Slavik dialect peppered throughout. It's totally playable in English, but characters will constantly pop up and start talking to each other in some other dialect. While there's no way to know what they're saying, it has no bearing on the game play. That said, the projectile weapons are a must and there's only one for each of the two character sets you play as. There are three lizard and three human characters, and most are useless. The egg clamp and sniper weapons deal distance damage and they're really the only way to win, the other abilities sort of help but aren't necessary. You roll a new upgrade after each level, but some are ridiculously worthless and if you just pick a random character and start playing you are likely to lose. After 30 minutes the bosses appear, you kill them, and the game ends. The damage values are all over the place, I got instakilled at the ending a few times and I still have no idea why. The achievements are really annoying since you have to max level a bunch of worthless weapons and items, but if you play through a few times it's not too bad. Not a great game but playable.

прикольно, но бить ящеров очень сложно, тупа ты идешь и бьешь в том направлении куда идешь

completely worth .50 cents, banger soundtrack, kind of a shitty vampire survivors game but it's funny. 11/10 would listen in background again.
