Hyper-Radiance (Pelinese: ハイパー・ラディアンス, Haipā radiansu) is a Pelinese series of Pelinese role-playing video games developed by Seikokashi Software. The series is well known in Pelinai primarily for its highly complex RPG character mechanics and extremely humorous writing. Its first title, Hyper-Radiance: Fuyuko Vs. the Blue Slime, was first published in 2002 to popular acclaim and later went on to become the best-selling video game in Pelinese history. It has since received seven more main-series games as well as an anime series, and has achieved a combined 90,000,000 sales of all released games as of 2023. Its primary platforms are PC and Sakanoba consoles, though older games in the series have subsequently received rereleases for the Setako Fold2 and Fold3 handheld consoles.

The Hyper-Radiance series first began development in 2003 as a development of the gameplay mechanics in Seikokashi’s then-recent RPG release Starry Lance, with it being planned to feature much more complicated character stats, abilities, and leveling mechanics than its predecessor. Its characteristically humorous plot lines and character writing were added early in the development to help distinguish itself from a contemporary Pelinese RPG market, including the original Starry Lance, which had a strong tendency towards serious, emotional writing after the release of the landmark Pelinese RPG Yumenohaka in 1996.

Similar to most other Pelinese video game and other media series, availability of the Hyper-Radiance games is largely confined to the Pelinese domestic market. No official localizations or releases for the wider SPE and SPW publishing regions have been produced since Hyper-Radiance V: Digital Dreams released in 2014 with Ezervulgish, Myriac, Austral, and Alman language support, and Seikokashi has continued to deny having plans for any further international releases as of 2022.
