Ｈｉ－Ｓｃｏｒｅ

HI SCORE is an 3D, third-person, open-world Hack-n-Slash created by Simple Studios exclusively for the PC. It takes place in a world of mercenaries with arcade motifs.
==Gameplay==
HI SCORE is a fast-paced Hack n Slash game focused on combat. In the game you use weapons to fight against enemies or other players. These weapons each have unique properties and combos. You have 2 weapon slots, your main hand (Main) and your off-hand (Off). Your Main hand weapon is decided upon making a character in the character creator and decides which way you will strike with two-handed weaponry, as the controls are flipped to suit left- or right-handed people. Your Off deals less damage than the Main when dual wielding, but allows you to use support items like Gamer Slurpage and Proximity Mines quicker than your Main. Some weapons can only be held in one hand, while others are compatible with both. Some weapons simply require a certain amount of strength to be wielded in a given hand. 
Each weapon has several different attacks used through combined button inputs. Weak Attacks are generally fast but not as damaging as the slower Strong Attacks. Dash Attacks often have more forward movement than stationary ones but can be easier to dodge due to longer start-up. High attacks can be used to hit enemies on the high ground or tall enemies in the head, middle attacks are the default and low attacks can trip up enemies. These inputs can be combined to perform varied and different attacks and can even be combined with your Off weapon for greater coverage or utility. The possibilities are seemingly endless but actually are!
Unlike many other games, there is no way to block attacks in HI SCORE. The game encourages you to either be able to shrug off whatever the enemy can throw at you or learn how to dodge.
===Hitchild 95===
the Hitchild 95 is the ultimate combination of new-school design and old-school Ａｅｓｔｈｅｔｉｃ. The Hitchild Portable is a wrist device used to access your inventory, stats and other personal information contained on the highly-secure Public Cloud. The HCP can also plug into the Hitchild Cabinets scattered around the land in order to save your game, buy stuff and update your position on the Leaderboard.
==The World==
The world of HI SCORE is a vast and divided one.
The Stix: A wooded area mostly inhabited by loner outcasts and metal bands posing for album covers. There's a lot of strange and deadly creatures around the area so protect ya neck.
Hammerton Heights: Mountain-y as fuck. The Heights are controlled by some Hugo Boss-wearing motherfucker called The Dictator so watch out for his not-Nazi-like-at-all death squads patrolling the area.
The Divide: Not marked on the map is the area where The Dictator's battle force are trying to invade Speartown and failing miserably. It's kinda sad really.
Speartown: A slightly more civillized place compared to the Stix and the Heights (but thats not saying much). You're less likely to get randomly attacked here but its still quite likely.
Axe Zone: A large plot of land surrounding a castle owned by the batshit-insane Baron Axegrinder. Some say there's treasure in the castle.
Paraslice: A gritty cyberpunk-ass city where the best of the best assassins live.
Dedzone: Island owned by fuckboy millionare Aurum Zenyatta. Do challenges and the like here.
==Plot==
HI SCORE doesn't have much of a plot but it does have a bit of lore. The year is 4 billion and humanity has entered a weird area of technological stagnation where for a while the only technology that works against hyper-advanced hacking is super old-fashioned tech that people generally didn't make hacks for in the era. After a while a lot of super advanced technology was either phased out or repackaged using the Windows 95 standard creating a dystopian vaporwave era. Ain't that a kick in the head? Around this time crime also becomes pretty common and in order to protect themselves/attack others rich people throw assassins at whoever could be seen as a threat. The assassins of this era are a bunch of lawless bastards, so murder and in-fighting is common within the community. You play as one of these assassins as you try to survive, make a living and make it onto the coveted Leaderboard of top 100 best assassins worldwide.
==Vendors==
===DamnMart===
The pinnacle of capitalism. DamnMart is the one stop shop for basic weaponry and cheap but relatively fly outfits. DamnMart vending boxes can be found all over the world and will gladly take your money for stuff you won't use by the time you level up.
===Platina Mondatta===
A mysterious individual who appears randomly to offer unique and exciting ways to kill your fellow man. Platina's wares are almost always exclusive to him so you should buy up his stock if you've got the coin.
==Missions==
===Hits===
Despite it being your job, assassinations aren't a big thing in the game. You simply obtain a name and picture, find the target and kill them for easy cash and XP.
===Stories===
Around the world you can find randomly placed events that will trigger the beginning of a story. These stories usually culminate with a boss battle against another assassin who drops cool loot that might end up being shittier than your stuff.
===The Leaderboard===
While not as linear or obvious as the other stuff you still gotta keep your eyes on the prize and  kill your way into the top 100 assassins.
