About MADNESS: Project Nexus

✦ AI summary

Blast and brutalize through 16+ hours of over-the-top arcade action as you infiltrate facilities, survive gauntlets of cultists and bandits, and uncover the secrets of Project Nexus solo or with up to three friends. Customize your warrior, build unique weapons, dominate endless arena waves, and unleash chaos in a sandbox where you can pit enemies against each other or join the mayhem yourself.

MADNESS: Project Nexus is a third-person Run n' Gun / Beat'Em Up filled with arcade-style action and button-mashing brutality. Shoot, stab, bash, chop, and slaughter your way through over 16 hours of intense combat. Your wits will be challenged. Your nerves will be tested. Blood will probably get all over everything... what a day to leave your raincoat at home! But that's alright. Wading through the dismembered remnants of those who fell to your bullets and steel, only one thing crosses your mind: They asked for this. And you're glad that they did.
  • STORY CAMPAIGN
    \ \
    Take the reigns of the antiheroes of the Madness universe! Infiltrate heavily guarded installations, survive cultist-ridden tunnel networks, fight back against dynamite-wielding cannibal bandits, and dodge the grasp of armor-plated Mag Agents over three times your size...all while unearthing the terrible secrets of Project Nexus itself.
    Play solo or locally with up to three other people (using Xbox-compatible controllers).
  • ARENA COMBAT
    \ \ \
    Build your custom warrior from the ground up! You'll advance through specialized skill tiers and train a unique Madness warrior who is equipped to take on wave after wave of never-ending badguys in combat environments that range from killer game shows to haunted houses to high speed trains. Build your own custom weapons and outfit them with the latest technology to give yourself the edge you're going to need to pull through.
  • THE PLAYGROUND
    Play god in a secure combat environment and pit squads of badguys against one another for your own satisfaction. Toss them any weapons you like, or have them go at it with their bare fists. Or, jump down into the fray yourself and show them who's boss!

This game is probably one of my most favourite games I've ever played. The story mode is really fun with a good plot and the arena combat mode is also super fun, though it does get a bit repetitive cuz of imprinting but the core gameplay of it is really good, how you get to customize your own character and hirelings and ngl I grew a bit attached to my hirelings on the first playthrough of it but that's just me probably. also the characters are funny go watch madness combat saford

MADNESS: Project Nexus is basically the Madness Combat series turned into a brutally chaotic action game, and somehow it works incredibly well. The combat is fast, violent, and ridiculously satisfying. You can punch, shoot, stab, throw weapons, grab enemies, and generally cause as much destruction as possible. Fights can get completely out of control, with bodies and weapons flying everywhere. The Campaign mode is a lot of fun, especially when you're leveling up your character and unlocking new abilities and equipment. The Arena mode adds even more replayability, letting you create your own character and throw them into increasingly ridiculous fights. The Madness Combat style is also captured perfectly. The animations, enemies, sound effects, and dark humor all feel like they belong in the original series. It can be chaotic and occasionally frustrating, but that's basically the point. **7/10 — entered Nevada for one quick mission, left covered in blood and holding six different weapons.**
