Play Scurge - Hive (Psyfer) Online
You're Jenosa, infected and fighting through a pulsating alien hive—your energy ticks down as you blast mutants with touchscreen aiming, always one step ahead of the virus eating you alive. The DS screens split your frantic shooting from the map, so you don't get lost in the fleshy corridors.
Scurge: Hive came out on the Nintendo DS in 2006, developed by Orbital Media. It was part of that early DS wave where developers were still figuring out how to use the two screens in a way that felt meaningful, not just a gimmick. The game is an isometric action adventure that often gets compared to the Metroid series, but it has its own distinct, slightly claustrophobic identity.
You control Jenosa Arma, a bounty hunter who gets infected with a parasitic organism while investigating a bio-research facility. Your health constantly drains from this infection, creating a persistent, low-level urgency as you explore the hive. You navigate screen by screen, blasting mutated creatures with a beam weapon that can be aimed precisely using the touchscreen. The top screen shows the action, while the bottom displays your map and inventory, which is crucial for not getting lost in the maze-like, organic environments. The objective is to cleanse the hive by destroying its cores, all while managing your dwindling energy and solving environmental puzzles. It's a tense, methodical experience where every new room could be your last if you aren't careful.
