Description

HIVE is a multiplayer hero shooter in 2.5D side scrolling with futuristic style and frenetic gameplay. Up to 10 players simultaneously can fight in Hexadiums, hexagon-shaped combat areas located all around the planet HIVE. Hexadiums are scenarios that are divided into 6 zones, each with its own gravity, different platforms, hideouts and open spaces that turn it into a frenetic battlefield. In HIVE, we play the role of the best fighters of different factions that exist in the game: human military (UFG), human modified by Altenum (NHC), robots (EVO), and evolved aliens (Aeons). These heroes, now called Hexadiers, have to conquer the hexagonal coliseum to obtain Altenum, a vital energy source for interspatial travelling in the XXVI century. Win the battle and get fuel to survive, explore and colonize new planets! Each Hexadier has several inborn skills and a selection of weapons that can be equipped before entering battle. This way, heroes will be an extension of each player gaming style making an unique gameplay with hundreds of combinations.

History

From the very beginning, David and Marco had in mind to develop a competitive video game that they really liked to play. This is how HIVE story starts. Along its first development stages, HIVE was a MOBA with three lanes and side scroller but over time, the game itself was calling for a change. Those were hard times but they listened every piece of code inside HIVE and finally get the shape the game was asking for. The creature evolved to the shooter that is nowadays which shows a frenetic mechanics and a dynamical gravity system that makes HIVE a truly unique game.
