Though the soccer mini-game is entertaining, it’s nowhere near as captivating as Gang Beasts main Melee mode.Ĭertainly, Gang Beasts is as much a game for fighting game fans as it is for acolytes of mischief those same individuals who like to drive around courses the wrong direction in racing games, or the online troublemakers who enjoy team-killing a little too much will find an endless bounty of mayhem to enjoy here.ĭovetailing into the enjoyably freewheeling nature of Gang Beasts combat are the levels, all of which are designed to exacerbate its particular brand of pugilistic pandemonium.
As such, attempting to eliminate other beasts is never straightforward and often ends up in rib-breaking bouts of hilarity, as your intended victim hangs on to some ledge, platform or even your own limbs, as you struggle to heft them over the edge for a quick elimination. The driving force behind the innovation in Gang Beasts battles is the physics system which allows the jelly-like creatures to grapple onto anything and everything. Where Gang Beasts succeeds most keenly however, is in how creative it allows the cast of spongy fighters under its employ to be. Gang Beasts is incredible fun with friends – just don’t forget the beers
Get the drinks in however and as your own dexterity falls and your giddiness increases, Gang Beasts morphs into something else – a brawler where accidental falls and mistaken attacks are joyfully and collectively heralded rather than something to be picked apart and stewed upon. The deliberately imprecise mechanics don’t lend Gang Beasts terribly well to sober or po-faced play, as confusion and frustration at the chaotic nature of the encounters can dull the lustre of what is otherwise a raucous experience.
