The player controls an ultra-fast spaceship on a rescue mission and needs be mindful of the oncoming space debris, as well as the power level of the ship, which is resupplied by picking up special crystals. But this is no problem for one of the speediest vessels in the galaxy! A cargo ship carrying priceless crystals was attacked by a pirate vessel. The crew abandoned the ship and is scattered throughout the void. The player answers their call for help and embarks on a journey through seven breath-taking quadrants of the void.

But the player also needs to remember that their primary mission is rescue. Apart from navigating through the debris fields and shooting oncoming enemy vessels, it’s crucial to pick up astronauts stranded in open space.

Play Hyperide on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Hyperide on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).

Hyperide installation steps for Mac

Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
