Gang Beasts
Genre: Fighting Game | Developer: Boneloaf | Platform: PC, PS4, Xbox One | Release Date: December 12, 2017 | Model: Buy-to-Play
What kind of game is this? This is a wacky fighting game with four players. Your avatar is a funny gummy-like creature that you can customize and equip with accessories.
You can play as a funny grandma, a pink hippo, or any other oddity. The goal of the game is to punch your way through various interactive stages and use clever strategies to defeat your opponents until you are the last survivor.
What is the gameplay like? A unique feature of the gameplay in Gang Beasts is that each of your body parts has its own button for control. This leads to hilariously awkward, often random stunts when you slap left and right with your pink crocodile against the killer grandma and then clumsily tumble into some container, only to get hit in the face by a kind of crazy chicken.
Through the interactive maps, you can also cleverly incorporate the environment into the game. For example, by knocking out your opponent and then sadistically stuffing them into a conveniently located shredder.
So if you are into cruelly cute violence and love to beat up your friends and kill them creatively, then Gang Beasts is just right for you.
Why should you play it as a Squid Game fan? Here, brutal violence is served in a childishly colorful manner. Those who know Squid Game might recall a certain scene between the games.
This is the essence of Gang Beasts, as it is primarily about creatively killing your fellow players while incorporating the environment. And like in Squid Game, there is only one winner in the end.
