A Real Gem
I bought the steam version when it first came out and I can't recommend this game enough! The visuals are great, gameplay is smooth, and if you like over-the-top ridiculous action then this game is a must. It's not very long; if you keep a decent pace on you can definitely beat it in about an hour and a half, maybe faster once you master it. Personally, I think that's the perfect length for a game like this. Gameplay is pretty similar to GunGrave in the sense that it's enter a room, shoot everything whether or not it moves, and move onto the next. Enemy designs are creative, especially the bosses, and despite it not taking itself seriously, there ARE a few twists thrown into the plot. There's replay value in the form of harder difficulties, different endless modes, and some cosmetic unlockables. (There are probably more bonuses to be had, but I'm currently not good enough to have a chance at getting them.) The real twist to the gameplay is that you are on a timer. Save for the the easiest mode, Jack will consistently have seconds to live. The only way to keep yourself alive is to keep killing bots or else it's game over. If you want a deep, heartfelt story and methodical gameplay, then this isn't for you. Mullet Madjack is all about fast–paced violence and mind numbing insanity. There IS a method if you want to get good at it, but for the most part the game is very tongue–in–cheek with its story and is a really fun parody of 80's/vaporwave/sci–fi aesthetics and capitalistic greed. The soundtrack is awesome and it's definitely worth the extra change! It's memorable and fits the tone of the game perfectly. It's a shame you probably won't experience the full quality of it during gameplay, as you'll be too busy trying not to die. All in all, I think this game is worth it to any high–octane action fan. It's got style and heart behind it, and it's just a blast to play. It's so satisfying once you finally get in the groove and start plowing through levels. 10/10!
