10 Most Expensive Video Games You Didn't Know Exist
7. Hyperstrix - £169
It's time to see the first of many price increases on this list, although this one only goes up by a humble £1.01. That's not so bad, right?
This game is a classic arcade-style fixed shooter that pits you against an ancient, evil alien race from Mars. You play as a spaceship battling against these foes in 15 different levels, with a pixel art style and retrowave music accompanying you.
It's not hard to see that this game shares similarities with the likes of Space Invaders or Galaga. The shoot 'em up genre is one of the oldest in the gaming book, so you've got to go above and beyond to make one stand out if you make it in the modern day.
Naturally, this one is nothing but a standard venture into the genre. It's hastily slashed together with what were likely already existing assets, designed to be turned around quickly to make a profit.
The price itself is a clear indicator that this isn't an indie-made title by someone with a passion for the medium who wants people to play their game.
