Pro
  • Innovative blend of fast-paced FPS action with classic anime style

Review

MULLET MADJACK is a high-octane, single-player FPS that thrusts players into the heart-thumping world of classic anime. With a character that can be powered up to blast through hordes of enemies, the game offers a nostalgic yet refreshing take on the genre. Whether you're racing against your best time or climbing the endless floors, the game's 'haste makes waste... OF YOUR ENEMIES!' mantra delivers a frenetic and exhilarating experience. The clever writing and zestful love for '90s culture shine throughout, making every session a bombardment of action-packed pleasure. However, some players may find the relentless speed and intense visuals overwhelming, and the game's focus on style and mechanics over an intricate story might not satisfy all. Despite these minor hitches, MULLET MADJACK is a must-play for enthusiasts of retro gaming and anime alike.

Background information

Across the gaming community, MULLET MADJACK has garnered positive acclaim for its successful fusion of a nostalgic anime experience with bullet-fast gameplay. Reviewers from Try Hard Guides admire it for its clever parody and homage to classic genres, while Hooked Gamers insists it's a title that offers fun for more than just its core demographic. Described as both a love letter to '90s pop culture and a joyride into the heyday of arcades by Voxel, the game also stands out for its distinctive personality and style as noted by The Games Machine. With its nod to old school FPS and speedrunning, highlighted by Press Start Australia, this title promises a breathless, albeit short-lived, entertainment. The excitement is tempered only by Rock, Paper, Shotgun, who notes it as a straightforward corridor rush but recommends it for speed and violence aficionados.
