Post Apocalyptic Mayhem

First of all before we begin this blog I would like to formally introduce Foamy a good friend of mine who will be writing the reviews for the inferior console games but for now he is playing Touhou because he doesn't trust me with his baby which is fair as even I wouldn't trust me with his baby. His baby is a little crazy though. However onto the revie...Wait a second also starting right now each month my reviews will have a theme this month's theme is games that deserve more players. So we kick it off with a game that deserved more players but just couldn't get them.                                                                                                 Post Apocalyptic Mayhem.

The Game:

Post Apocalyptic Mayhem is an action racing game created by Steel Monkeys. Oh you've never heard of them well that's kind of the point of this month is to get some unknown names out there.Story: 1

There basically is none the apocalypse wiped out most everything now everyone threw some cars together and thats it. (scrunchyface) really. they could have done at least something with it even gave it at least half an ass this is definitely the games weakest point.

Gameplay: 8

Possibly the games strongest point the game plays solidly controls smoothish but all in all it works plus i mean look at that arsenal lets give it a rundown shall we.(source for all pictures google images)

 

Logger outfitted with that menacing spike roller that turns cars into paste. Drops logs off of the back of it to flatten hoods and decimate tires. And not to mention flip out twin sawblades to chop a car in two if it gets flanked this vehicle can cause some damage but takes time getting up to speed.

Childhood dreams equipped with the scoop of destiny that straight up chucks other vehicles into the air. With the ability to drop extra oil behind him and cause everything to get all spinny before rolling down the windows for a Molotov cocktail barrage. In short Childhood Dreams is where it's at.

Skorch with twin linked flamethrowers capable of turning a car to red paste on the hood. Magnetic mines on the sides to stick to and blow the enemy away, and to finish it all off it throws toxic explosives out the back with a hefty supply of dynamite very fast and handles well but damage is limited if you are falling behind.

Space Cowboy amped up with a portable electromagnetic field that he sticks to enemies to pull in every piece of scrap metal at high speeds. EMP mines that shutdown cars completely for a few seconds and an exhaust pipe that shoots fire. very fast but very low kill potential when in first.

Nitrogenius equipped with freezethrowers to turn a car to ice. Extra cans of liquid nitrogen to slick the roads and spike the road with solid ice to stop your opponents dead in their tracks. Low damage until he is in first place and he's fairly squishy so he can't get there easily.

The Alchemist shooting toxic waste at you from the front and dropping fake power-ups out the back. Oh and it throws a metric tonne of pink lawn flamingos covered in explosives to destroy everything that ever existed.

Kitty is a very small very fast very overpowered vehicle that unicorn horn is a drill that turns your bumper into scrap it launches monkey bombs out the back and clouds of super death gas out the sides that instant kill anyone that gets caught in the damn thing. OP

Nucloid a small compact fast electric car powered by a miniature nuclear reactor. Dropping smart bombs out the back and throwing enemies forward with its front weapon a small concentrated fission blast. and it has nukes mini nukes mind you but still nukes highest kill potential but squishy and difficult to turn.

The Veteran a military vehicle with double pneumatic drills a couple of heavy machine gun emplacements and a handful of tank traps this bad boy is ready to rock and roll and level whatever gets in its way.

Ice Scream a ridiculous ice cream truck with small explosive snow cones fired from the front mounted penguin. Icy gas expelled from the sides and Indiana Jones style ice cream boulders. This thing is one bad happiness machine.

Tow'er a simple tow truck with hydraulic claws that chomp down on the enemy quickly reducing their vehicle to little more than a pile of upholstery. He tosses boots off of the sides to turn a car into a 3 wheeled vehicle which as you can guess ruins handling. plus it can THROW a car backwards flattening everything.

And finally The Fuzz equipped with dual grenade launchers it can raze anything in front of it while dropping barricades behind it but for his fellow driver he offers some delicious explosive donuts out of the side cannons.

The Look: 6

It looks alright graphics are good and it keeps a solid theme of scrap metal but there is not much color in the world it's all very bland greys and browns.

The Universe: 1

See story

Soundtrack: 7

It tries to be very rockish but it's pretty good Cold War Beach is the best though so you know.

Overall: 7.5

It's a solid game lots of fun but the single player is iffy so make sure some of your friends get it to because it really is a fun game. Achievement hunters beware though 100% this game is nearly impossible without cheesing it.

That is all
