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 the spotlight in an exciting new endless runner game titled Hyde Run, which has just launched globally.
Initially 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 interactive 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 embark on an exhilarating journey, parkouring through both a concert stage and a futuristic rendition of Tokyo. Playing as HYDE, you'll navigate a high-speed chase across Neo Tokyo, skillfully dodging obstacles, wall-running past vibrant billboards, and collecting musical notes.
The game's atmosphere is distinct, blending neon aesthetics with the raw energy of a guitar solo, setting it apart from typical endless runners. As you speed through the city, you can pick up various power-ups, such as magnets that attract notes or barriers that protect you from damage.
Before each run, you can equip items to enhance your performance. Activate a Note Gain to boost your note collection or a Barrier to avoid tripping over obstacles. Additionally, you can gather crystals to unlock exclusive HYDE outfits and room items from his extensive career. Unlock the Microphone Stand to access HYDE's personal voice clips.
