About Mayhem ZX
As the world is thrown into a frenzy at the approach of an enormous meteor, battle-hardened warriors from across the earth race to the blast zone seeking to claim the ancient power held within.Take control over a select few fighters and find out who has what it takes to survive and rise to power! Mayhem ZX has combined the retro Aesthetics and modern Twin Stick Shooter genre into an awesome and unpredictable Chaotic Couch Brawler. This is the kind of game that you're gonna want to be sitting next to your comrades when you suddenly remove their heads from their bodies!
Mayhem ZX is aimed at bringing friends together again, to sit down on the same couch, in the same room and pass the controller back and forth as they dominate each other. We grew up in an age where this was how we "Hung Out" with each other, and with how many games are all Online Only we would like to bring this genre that stole our youths back to the present!

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…4 found this helpful
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.1 found this helpful
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.
