Moribund

Moribund is what happens when a group of friends decide to shoot each other in a post-apocalyptic wasteland and laugh about it later. Developed by Traptics, this chaotic 2D arena shooter thrives in the sweet spot between “easy to pick up” and “rage-inducingly competitive,” offering a delightfully deadly twist on local multiplayer action. The core mechanic is both clever and brutal: players use a gun that first immobilizes opponents with a gooey fungal blast and then follows up with a charged harpoon shot to finish them off. The beauty lies in the tension between these two actions—one false move or poorly timed shot, and you're the one getting skewered. There's no filler here. No XP bars, no skill trees—just pure, frantic fun. Environmental hazards like sawblades, lava pits, and exploding barrels keep things spicy. Think Duck Game meets TowerFall, with a splash of The Last of Us’s fungal aesthetic. Moribund is unapologetically focused on local multiplayer. It supports up to four players in either free-for-all or team modes. It also offers a handful of single-player challenge levels, but let's be honest: this is a party game. The kind you boot up when your friends are over, snacks…

Hi Traptics! (I was supposed to review this game so long ago I'm sorry it's so late) I played your game and initially started with keyboard controls but they go back and forth: if I'm using WASD, I can only move with the arrow keys so I switched to controller mode which made it so much easier to play. ***I read your update (where it's highly recommended to play with the controller) and I think that it's better to remove the keyboard controls image that flashes as the game starts altogether to make it less confusing. Also, it's kind of off-putting when you do the tutorials and you're immediately sent back to the main menu upon completion. It'd be much easier if after completion, it stays in the tutorial screen so it'd be easier to maneuver between practicing #1 and #2. I may just be too nitpicky, but I think it'd be more efficient. Where you choose the player is also inconsistent -- I'm either picking for Player 2 or Player 3 even if I'm playing by myself. The challenges are interesting and really force your mind to work under intensive time pressure. I was happy when I finally got Challenge 1 (maybe I'm just so much of a newb that I couldn't get it after 5 tries) but I also thi…

[b]A Lets Play of Moribund was featured on my youtube channel[/b] http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=871546090 and now onto the review [h1]TL;DR Review[/h1] Moribund is a local multiplayer post-apocalyptic 2D arena shooter with a strong emphasis on gore. -Gameplay- 1-4 fast paced local multiplayer game. The objective of the game is to be the first one to get to 10 kills. You get two guns, one that shoots some device that holds an opponent down by their tendons (like I said, strong emphasis on gore) and the other one is a harpoon that decapitates your opponent. Best played on a gamepad! -Graphics, Sound & Artstyle- Moribund takes a dark and ominous approach to their artstyle being that the setting is post-apocalyptic they take it a step further and with the element of gore, it really feels like an immersive universe. While I didn't care much for the constant talking or taunting. -Price- The retail price is 9.99 USD -How many hours estimated?- By far Moribund has been the most fun my crew has had filming. Even the people who lost wanted to keep playing. If multiplayer gets added i can easily see myself playing 30-40 hours minimum of Moribund. As it s…

We checked out Moribund as part of our Indie Slam Jam series - Overall it's a surprisingly fun 4 player party game! While it seems simple at first, it actually has quite a bit of strategy involved to be sucessful. SPORE AND SPEAR FOR GREATER GLORY! Wanna see our experience?

Cool game to play with friends, it's not the best for single player but if you and your friends are bored of Mortal Combat, FIFA and all those games this is the perfect game. Really cool mechanics and fitting graphics.
