If you're a fan of Japanese music, you're likely familiar with HYDE, the iconic artist who has graced stages like Madison Square Garden and sold over 40 million records. Now, HYDE takes center stage in a thrilling new endless runner game, "Hyde Run," which has just launched globally today.
Originally released in Japan, "Hyde Run" is now accessible to players around the world. The game's developer and publisher, Phoenixx, aims to provide global fans with an immersive way to celebrate HYDE's illustrious music career through a game packed with references to his journey.
Move, Jump, or Slide in Hyde Run
In "Hyde Run," you'll experience the thrill of parkour across a concert stage and a futuristic Tokyo simultaneously. As HYDE, you'll navigate a high-speed chase through Neo Tokyo, skillfully dodging obstacles, wall-running past vibrant billboards, and collecting musical notes.
The game's atmosphere is infused with a unique neon-and-noise vibe, setting it apart from typical endless runners. "Hyde Run" incorporates the energy of guitar solos and fan service, making it a distinctive experience tailored to HYDE's fans.
As you dash through the city, you can pick up various power-ups, including magnets that attract notes to you and barriers that protect against damage. Before each run, you can equip items like Note Gain to increase your note collection or a Barrier to avoid tripping over obstacles.
Additionally, you can gather crystals to unlock exclusive outfits and room items from HYDE's extensive career. Unlocking the Microphone Stand grants access to voice clips from HYDE himself.
