Each node contains a randomly assorted selection of levels that must be played through in sequence. After a few introductory levels, you’re presented with a 2D ASCII maze you can freely navigate via “nodes”. Rather than being a standard linear shooter, Mind Control Delete instead adopts a more rogue-like structure. What isn’t the same, however, is the structure of the campaign. Gun empty of ammo, you’ll chuck the useless weapon at this second adversary’s head, then catch his shotgun out of the air as he drops it, before turning the barrel at his midriff and blasting him to smithereens.Īt the outset, Mind Control Delete’s core combat is basically the same as it was in Superhot. You’ll loose a few shots at an enemy, watching the bullets burst his chest into glass shards before spinning around to face another opponent closing in on you. Tying time to your in-game movements lets you create your own fight choreography on the fly. What results is essentially a stuntman’s dreamland. The moment you move or look around, however, the game begins to spool up, eventually hitting real-time if you move consistently for more than a few seconds. Stand still in Superhot’s crystalline world and it will stand still with you, enemies frozen in position, bullets lingering in the air like deadly hoverflies.
The result is every bit as stylish and captivating as Superhot was four years ago, although the game’s aloof approach to storytelling can grate on the nerves.Īs with Superhot, Mind Control Delete’s key gimmick is that the world exists in a perpetual state of bullet time, linked to your in-game movement.
This follow-up to the 2016 original expands upon the fantastic time-manipulation gunplay that made the first game so compelling, while also radically changing the central structure to create a longer and more dynamic experience. While officially a standalone expansion pack, Superhot: Mind Control Delete is a sequel in all but name.
