About Mauled

Mauled is an indie Third-Person Shooter that blends arcade action with tactical cooperation. Battle through diverse environments against brutal monster waves using a mix of firearms, activatable traps, and purchasable upgrades. Whether playing solo or in online Co-op, prepare for a scaling challenge that will test your reflexes to the limit.

Game Features

  • Survive endless waves of monsters emerging from dimensional portals in a high-stakes battle for survival.
  • Solo or Co-op: Play solo or team up with friends for a fast-paced, seamless online cooperative experience.
  • Strategic Citadels: Visit Citadels to purchase new weapons, activate tactical traps, and unlock character improvements.
  • Expanded arsenal: Discover and wield a wide variety of weapons, ranging from common tiers to powerful legendary finds.
  • Environmental Hazards: Turn the tide of battle by triggering map-based traps to wipe out entire hordes at once.
  • Epic Boss Encounters: Face intense periodic boss battles, each accompanied by a unique and immersive soundtrack..

Story

The fabric of reality has fractured. Dimensional portals now scar the landscape, bleeding endless waves of monstrous entities into a world on the brink of total collapse. As one of the last defenders standing, you are the only barrier between survival and extinction. Your mission is simple but suicide: contain the invasion, face the escalating horrors, and hold the line against the darkness. With every wave, the threat grows stronger and the portals yield more terrifying secrets. How many rounds can you endure before the void finally claims what remains?

[quote][b][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/b] This is one of literally thousands of creatively bankrupt asset flips infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere.[/quote] [quote][b][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microtransaction]Warning: In-Game Cash Shop[/url][/b] This game is infested with a toxic mobile app style cash shop. You will be prompted to and expected to give money/credit card details to the developers through this cash shop to buy in-game goods so you can play the game.[/quote] "Mauled" is a low key asset flip, a bunch of other people's assets assembled badly to make a basic game, typically this kind of thing is done by amateur developers without sufficient budget, talent and/or staff to do the job of game development professionally. It's then quickly rushed into Steam Direct. And, unsurprisingly, this never results in a product with any quality, interest, or value for gamers. This badly made Unreal asset flip is riddled with bugs, comes across as abandoned Early Access. Sure, it promises battling endless hordes of monsters, with weapon upgrades and health regeneration obtainable in …

Its to bad that even with playing in single player you are unable to pauze the game. I also personally would love the option to have to be able to switch between toggle and hold aim. For the rest although i did not play the game a lot recently the game is really amazing and i do enjoy it a lot so i'm deffinitly going to play this game more.

Fundamentally solid game that unfortunately lacks content and variety at this moment. Could be good, but currently is a slog.

Lots of potential as a wave-fighting co-op 3rd person game. Could add some heft with [PvP] multiplayer mode as it'd be quite fun. The combat design tightness especially the camera angle could be improved
