Mugsters
SCORE: 68
My initial reactions to Mugsters were totally, completely, and
utterly negative. I was so irritated and annoyed with this downloadable
only video game. Graphically Mugsters is nothing to write home about.
The lack of music in most areas made Mugsters feel like it was half
done. I went back and double checked that I was not being an unpaid
Quality Assurance Analyst. I did not even know what I was supposed to do
in this game.
The more I played Mugsters the more I found its charm. I figured out the
giant soda can looking things were actually explosives. Vehicles could
drive through white colored walls. There are people to rescue from these
giant canisters, and I could blow generators up. This is where some of
the violence comes in. There are red characters who will attack me. I
could fight them off most of the time with punches. Expect some blood in
Mugsters too.
The graphics are really tiny in Mugsters. I felt like I was playing some
old DOS game at first. Maybe Mugsters is going for that retro Amiga look
or something. I noticed the controls in things like the vehicles can be
a bit loose. There are some physics in Mugsters too. If you take a giant
bus to one of the ramps - do not expect to actually make it up the ramp.
Now a smaller vehicle like a car can fly right over those ramps.
Mugsters contains a Single Player mode, Multiplayer Mode, Leaderboards,
Settings, and Credits. If you do not free all of the humans in a level
then it is easy to replay it. All of your past progress in that level is
kept. Meaning Mugsters does not force us to replay the same things over
and over. I love escaping in the plane in Mugsters. I was worried the
first time as I flew off the isometric looking screen.
I love how Mugsters is set up for two kinds of gamers. The 100%
completionist can enjoy Mugsters by doing all of the goals. The more
casual game can enjoy working through the levels and not doing all of
the goals. I had fun Mugsters. There are some cool trophies to unlock in
this game if you give it some time. It took me a good thirty minutes to
warm up to Mugsters. I am thankful Team17 sent Family Friendly Gaming a
digital download code for Mugsters.
