Topic: Pure Xbox Community Game Club | Now Playing: MULLET MADJACK

I just haven't had the chance yet to jump in. I'm way too engulfed with clair obscur. And I've been replaying oracle of ages. 2 absolute bangers. I feel bad since I voted on it 😕

@Chaotic_Neutral I think you still have some sort of health (screen goes red when you take a few hits) but without the time limit, it makes the game feel even more crazy!
I know it is not the way it was meant to be played, but it is so much fun when you get certain weapons

@NintendoByNature I’m the same boat with CO:E33 (just hit Act 3) but we’re only a week into the month, plenty of time to give this a try.

I wouldn't be too concerned, you have plenty of time to give it a go as it's a fairly short experience 👍

Alright gang, I'm going to take a couple of months away, touch some grass and play both Death Stranding games. Keep on keeping on 👍

Thanks for all your support and engagement with our little club. See you soon.

@AgentCooper have a nice break! Cheers

Just started Mullet Madjack and having a blast with it, didn't think I would enjoy it this much

I played Mullet Madjack for a few hours last night. I like the retro 80s futurism style and the general concept, it reminded me a bit of The Running Man crossed with Duke Nukem and Snatcher. The gameplay is fast and frenetic, a little like a 3D Hotline Miami, though I didn't always feel in absolute control. I was sort of just holding forwards 95% of the time and alternating LT to run/stomp and RT to slice/shoot, with a little left right adjustment and the occasional thrown katana.

I somehow got in a rhythm and got to floor 36 on my first run, I was having fun... but then I died... and i'm not even quite sure how. I was trying to open a door with chains and I THINK I got hit from behind, but it was unclear - never a good sign when you can't learn from the error - either way it booted me back to floor 1 with one measly upgrade to keep for next time... and I felt instantly deflated. I did another couple of runs, did worse on both, and felt worse each time I died and got booted back to floor 1.

I don't like the Rogue-lite (or worse Rogue-like) progression system at all, I want to feel a sense of forward momentum when I play games, whereas this feels like it's purposefully wasting my time. I realise that the purpose is for YOU to grow as a player, to keep playing and improve YOUR skills and learn the game like you would with a musical instrument over time, but frankly the game doesn't feel good enough for me to want to put in that time, too much of it felt arbitrary.

I MIGHT start again on a lower story difficulty just to race through it... but right now i'm just frustrated with the game and might play Doom tonight instead.

P.S. I liked the music, the vibe... and that I could mute the influencer.
