About Freaky Awesome
When you found out that your missing dog was being held at the old factory, your past as an action hero kicked in and you didn’t hesitate: you grabbed your keys, jumped in your car and drove all the way there. Yeah, there are toxic wastes, weird creepy monsters and deadly traps there, and it’s very likely that you will mutate into horrendous shapes and even die a lot, but you would do anything for your four-legged friend – even becoming a four-legged hairy beast yourself! Fight, mutate, die, repeat: this is Freaky Awesome!
Freaky Awesome is a hectic action rogue-lite where you have to fight your way out of an old factory, full of mutated monsters and traps; the general layout of the factory and its rooms are procedurally generated. Every enemy leaves behind a poodle of mutagen that can heal you, but also mutates you eventually – even if you are in the middle of a fight! In order to survive, you will need to adapt quickly to the powers and specific mechanics of every mutation. Tearing off your head to throw it at an enemy? Sure! Laying eggs and seeing tiny copies of you hatching and fighting for you? Why not! And on top of that, you can use objects in combat and develop your character to unlock new powerful skills, as well as play in co-op with up to 4 players!

Freaky Awesome is a chaotic and unconventional roguelite that leans heavily into unpredictability, grotesque humor, and constant mechanical reinvention. Developed and published by Mandragora, the game drops players into a decaying industrial complex warped by toxic experiments, where survival depends less on long-term planning and more on the ability to adapt to whatever absurd transformation the game throws at you next. While its premise may seem lighthearted on the surface, the experience itself is intense, demanding, and often deliberately overwhelming. At the center of the gameplay is the mutation system, which defines nearly every aspect of how Freaky Awesome is played. Rather than progressing through fixed character builds or carefully tuned skill trees, players are constantly reshaped by the mutagenic substances left behind by defeated enemies. These mutations radically alter movement, attacks, defenses, and even basic interactions with the environment. One run may turn you into a slow but devastating brute, while the next transforms you into a fragile creature that relies on ranged attacks, summoned minions, or strange biological mechanics.

Sure it takes some time to get used to, but it has its charms and mystery. Update: I was hunting for secret rooms, I wanted to find something that is hidden under the surface, because let's be honest nothing is explained in this game well. I looked up everywhere I could, tried everything but this game is just very plain, superficial. I wanted to be proved wrong, I wanted to see that this is a game like Enter the Gungeon with loads of hidden content and great progression which starts a little later with this one, and terrible controls, but still I wanted to believe. At this point I gave up and had to conclude that this was a great idea badly implemented. Thinking that making people grind would make up for the lack of content, but this game is like a poor attempt at a rougelike. The closest to this would be Neon Abyss, but that game is a lot better. So only try this if it's 90% off. At least you see something different for a couple hours, but don't have high hopes. 90% off recommended.1 found this helpful
I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of y…1 found this helpful
Odd gifts unfold Freakish powers spark bright smiles Chaos saves the day
Fun game, good multiplayer support. This is a good couch game.
Really bad, not worth the 2 dollars.
