Double Fine presents a fine addition to the fighting genre, Gang Beasts. Playing this whacky multiplayer guarantees a fun time and genuine laughs. It’s simply ridiculous, in a good way. You and your friends are pitted against one another to do crazy jelly-like combat until only one remains. You might be wondering what I mean by jelly. Essentially, the characters are gooey representations of people, usually dressed in costumes, like a fox or some other cute creature. And it kind of looks like a bunch of Jell-O bodies being hurled at one another as you all desperately fight for your lives. Complimented by choice physics, everything is just hilarious. You’ll see plenty of flailing about as you punch, kick, and throw your way into victory. Sometimes it may even look as if you are all dancing, don’t be fooled, though, you are very much in a fight! Doom your opponents by throwing them in front of a train or into a meat grinder! You must work with what you have to defeat your adversaries as you cannot simply punch them to death, you can, however, knock them out and use the time afforded to toss them off a ledge!
Fighting occurs in all sorts of bad places. On top of moving vehicles, in subway stations, on the sides of buildings, around giant reactors, in rooms full of giant, spinning gears, and more. All very poor locations to do combat, but it is your fight to win! Be careful not to let the environment, or your tail, snag an easy kill!
Gang Beasts is in early access on Steam for both Mac and PC. Currently, the game is only local, but the online multiplayer is in testing! So, if you just want to get together with some friends for a good old fashioned LAN party, which if you don’t already know, are super fun, this game is perfect. With 14 maps capable of holding 2-8 players each, you are bound to have a great time. More game types, characters and all sorts of content will be coming out during this early access time (including the online multiplayer), so hop on in and join in the fun! Below you will find the trailer for Gang Beasts. Check it out and prepare to laugh and enjoy!
