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!

I really wanted this game to be good and it still has the potential to be. it just needs full controller support. As it is right now, you can use a controller in the main game. But not for any menus, nor does the abilities list or shop tell you how to perform game actions on controller. which is really annoying because it feels like this game was built for a controller. using kb+m will cramp your hands and make you not wanna play. on controller though it just feels right and it makes you wonder why this hasn't been addressed for years I can't recommend until this is fixed

Extremely fun with a good soundtrack and an addictive gameplay loop Sometimes crashes (maybe because of how I'm playing) but it's not frequent enough to be harmful to the experience
