Unlike some other roguelikes, level layouts in Superhot: Mind Control Delete are not randomly generated. Unfortunately, you might have trouble telling some of the nodes apart, as many of the levels are reused between them. Health can be regenerated depending on the upgrades you gather between levels, but it’s always best to assume that the next bullet you take will be your last.Īt any given time, you’ll usually have two or three available nodes to attempt, so you don’t have to worry about getting stuck on a particularly tough level without any other way to advance. However, unlike other Superhot games, you are given a default of three hearts of health to negate damage. Some end-game nodes contain up to fifteen or twenty levels, which might sound pretty challenging. There are usually anywhere from three to ten levels in a given node, with a nice difficulty curve as you progress. Levels are contained within nodes, which when completed, uncover other nodes to clear.
After a short set of introductory levels, you’ll get a choice in what set of levels you attempt next. Superhot Super-NodesĪlthough the gunplay is mostly the same, the structure in which the levels are laid out is very different from other Superhot games. The lengthier levels and more chaotic gameplay offer a nice boost of action for those who felt it lacking before, but it does end up making the levels feel a bit less strategic. Generally speaking, you won’t be able to scrape by using the same tactics from previous Superhot games.
There are also a handful of specialized enemies that attempt to disrupt you in unique ways, but they only appear every so often. Other foes have spikes sticking out of their bodies which detonate upon death, sending them flying across the stage. Some enemies are also armored, with only certain areas of their body vulnerable to attack. Mind Control Delete also introduces new enemy-types to deal with, adding a bit more variety than the standard red baddies. Where the original Superhot felt more like a puzzle game, Superhot: Mind Control Delete is faster paced and falls better in line with what you’d expect from a first-person shooter. Levels are bigger and contain far more active objects than before, encouraging you to take cover and lure your enemies in.
That said, there are still some major changes to the gunplay that have been introduced. Superhot: Mind Control Delete continues to offer gunplay that makes you feel like a cold and calculated killer, slowly piecing together the most efficient and stylish way to execute your opposition. If you don’t stop and think about your actions, you’ll likely be overwhelmed and forced to restart the set of levels you’re attempting to complete. Guns have limited ammo, so you’ll have to grab enemy weapons out of the air as they drop them, or utilize any of the throwable objects and melee weapons scattered around the stage. Time moves as you move, so every shot, turn, and throw must be calculated to avoid death. Playing as an unnamed, unvoiced gunman, you move through stark white environments as you shoot through waves of red bad guys. If you’ve played either the previous Superhot games, Superhot: Mind Control Delete should feel pretty familiar at first.
