What Kind of Game is Hypergate?

Hypergate is a 3D arcade-style space combat game. It focuses on fast-paced combat, not gathering resources, Newtonian flight, or managing complex loadouts. It features a 2-hour single-player campaign, and an Instant Action mode that can be played single-player or over LAN. Customer Reviews have compared the combat style to Freespace 2 or Star Wars: X-Wing.
