At the end, you once again destroy the passive foe and black out. In the nodes that complete levels, you return to the level from the game’s prologue, devoid of enemies, and have to traverse it, all while the computer tried to stymie your progress, both through discouraging messages and teleporting you back through the level with each message. In addition to the story nodes, which start vague but get more sinister as you continue, you also get major story beats after specific challenge nodes, and at the end of each level. The eventual goal of the game is to get to the fourth level of the map and beyond, which brings me nicely to the story of Mind Control Delete. This is still one of the tamer story nodes

You also unlock new stages that can appear in the random selection of a challenge node. Enemies move faster, have better weapons, their weak spots shrink, and some enemies fire bullets everywhere once they die. The more nodes you complete, and the more cores and hacks you unlock, the harder the game becomes. You can also just wait at the end of the level to see your movements in “real” time, and both of these saved and uploaded to the SUPERHOT ‘Killsterest’ replay website. They’re also saved locally in case you want a copy for yourself.Ĭompleting a node lets you move past it and move onto additional challenge, hack, or story nodes. If you do something the game thinks is particularly flashy, it will prompt you to press r to see a replay. Each level is completed after defeating a specific hidden number of enemies in that level. You can start each level in one of several pre-set configurations, with new enemies appearing randomly through pre-set spawn points after clearing out an initial wave.

The stages include stock action movie setpieces such as a dojo, an island villa, a bar, a kitchen, a disco, dojo, yakuza hideout, and more. The challenge nodes are comprised of a selection of several stages, with a few hack drops sprinkled throughout. Apart from MORE, each core requires you to complete its own challenge node before you can permanently claim it for yourself.

You won’t get hacks that enhance re while you have re installed, for example, and you won’t see Heal.hack while you’re at full health, but most of the hacks can show up at the hack selection at random, which can make getting your favorites a bit difficult at times. Once unlocked, hacks will be randomly granted to you between levels in a challenge node, depending on what core you have selected. These can grant you additional health, heal you, grant you a random gun at the start of the map, or more. You can also find additional abilities, called hacks, in the map. This is what the start of a challenge looks like The core you select is what you’ll be stuck with for the duration of a Node, so if you get stuck, just back out and pick a new one.

There’s even re like in the original Superhot, but it’s unlocked very late in the game. Core abilities during the game, including re, which reduces your maximum health but lets you speed towards an enemy and instantly pummel them, or re, which calls katanas back to your hand after it is thrown. Called re, this gives you three hearts, letting you get hit twice before needing to restart a challenge node. To make this challenge more bearable, the game provides you with a safety net.

Instead of linear series of challenges, Mind Control Delete puts you into an ASCII map, with each node on the map sending you into a random selection of levels, and you need to complete all of the levels in a node to complete it. As I mentioned above, Mind Control Delete operates differently from the original Superhot.
