Hyper Iria

Hyper Iria follows Iria, a space-traveling bounty hunter who repeatedly crosses paths with the immortal villain Zeiram. Based on the anime prequel to the science-fiction film Zeiram, the game combines action, platforming, and shooting.

Gameplay

Iria begins with four selectable missions, with a fifth becoming available after the first four are completed. Before each mission, she discusses the assignment with her AI companion Bob. Travel can also lead to ambushes, shifting the action into scrolling shooter stages.

At each destination, Iria explores maze-like areas on foot with multiple routes toward her objective. She can rely on powerful physical attacks as well as firearms and grenades, though ammunition is limited. Mission performance determines the money she earns, which can be spent on additional firearms and grenades.
