Mayhem ZX is an abandoned Early Access 2D retro pixel twin stick platform shooter that's been slapped together with the godawful GameMaker Studio video game construction kit from Yoyogames. It's a somewhat generic retro platformer shooter that was abandoned by the developers before they even added any of the content into the game, so it just has an empty and pointless target shooting mode that does nothing but show off the established fact that GameMaker Studio has 2D platformer libraries (and they aren't very good, either). Like most GameMaker Studio construction kit "games", this features lazy 2D retro pixel "art", instead of professionally done, contemporary PC graphics. There's three main reasons a game will use this crutch. First, the developers lack the talent to come up with contemporary graphics and visuals and hope "nostalgia" will be an acceptable excuse. Second, they lack the proper budget to develop a video game and can't afford to hire anyone who can do video game graphics properly. Finally, they are limited by the godawful GameMaker Studio which isn't really capable of cutting edge visuals. All three of these are unacceptable compromises PC gamers should never…

I can only reasonably assume it`s long since been abandoned as there`s just no content here. Graphics and music show some promise but there`s no single player gameplay at all and the Traing and Target Practice levels will take you less than a minute before you realise there`s just nothing for you to do. Apparently multiplayer might function but I wouldn`t buy it find out. This is an empty shell waiting for the gameplay and levels to be added and considering how long it`s been on Steam it`s not likely to ever happen. No, of course I don`t recommend it.

Игра 'Mayhem ZX' - это настоящий взрыв ностальгии для любителей олдскульных шутеров. Простая графика обманчива: геймплей затягивает с первых минут благодаря динамичным сражениям и волнам врагов, не дающим передохнуть ни секунды. Управление отзывчивое, что критически важно в такой мясорубке. Разнообразие оружия и бонусов добавляет тактическую глубину, вынуждая продумывать стратегию и постоянно адаптироваться к ситуации. Саундтрек, хоть и пиксельный, отлично подчеркивает атмосферу безумия на экране. Конечно, игра не лишена недостатков. Визуально она может показаться устаревшей для современной аудитории, а сюжет, по сути, сводится к непрекращающемуся уничтожению врагов. Но если вы ищете чистокровный аркадный шутер, где главное - это реакция и умение выживать, 'Mayhem ZX' вас точно не разочарует. Она берет своей хардкорностью и напоминает о тех временах, когда игры были простыми, но невероятно увлекательными. Рекомендую всем, кто хочет тряхнуть стариной и проверить свои навыки в настоящем пиксельном хаосе.

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
