In 2024, I’ve been sharing updates about Golden Code’s impressive Danmaku shooter titled ‘Hyperborea’. This game boasts not only stunning visuals but also a barrage of bullets and lasers, all running smoothly on a standard A1200 or above. If you’re eager to see the latest developments of what is now called ‘MILV’, here’s the most recent footage of the game in action on an actual Amiga.
When the game launches, I will provide a detailed review. For now, here’s what the developer has communicated regarding the video: “Experience true bullet hell on a stock Amiga 1200 at 304 x 256 PAL 50 Hz, featuring 2-player mode and hundreds of bullets!”
