Agents of Mayhem Review - Chaos for Advanced

Agents of Mayhem is the latest creation of developer Volition, known for example by Saints Row. In the game you fight against the evil LEGION to save the world of destruction.

The name Volition may not be known to everyone in the ears. On the other hand, if you call Saints Row, suddenly there will be a lot more bubbles ringing. The series is often compared to the Grand Theft Auto series because of similarities when looking at the base of both series. A big open world with all kinds of activities that can be done by the player.

That's what the similarities are right about. Certainly the newer sections within the Saints Row franchise have become less and more realistic, focusing more on ridicule and over-the-top action. Agents of Mayhem comes from the same hand as the latter series and also offers an open world to play.

Nevertheless, the design of this new adventure is just something different from what the developer has previously put on the shelf. This time you get started for the good guys of Mayhem and tackle the evil LEGION The evil power holds the world in the grip after a series of attacks and also Seoul seems to fall, but you as a player try to stick to it to stitch.

Are you back in the eighties?

This time for an existing city, instead of the fictional Steelport. But that the city is in real life does not mean that Agents of Mayhem made a realistic copy of it. The whole game feels like a cartoon of the eighties and the appearance is no exception.

The graphic style is best compared to that of a title like Crackdown, semi-realistic with a cartoonish edge. It just seems like an interactive comic book. The cutscenes in the game are literally cartoons and look amazing. Agents of Mayhem exudes atmosphere and that is a positive one.

That's the way you find the most important players in this open world game: Mayhem agents. Agents of Mayhem is a hero shooter, vague similar to something like Overwatch . You play at any time with a group of three agents each with their own weapons and skills. Instead of dropping all three characters at the same time, you can press the button switch from agent.

Choose the characters that suit you

In total, the game offers you 14 agents to choose from (the two DLC characters included) and the fun is that you are almost completely free to choose who you want to be. There are no restrictions and that's fun for fun. There is something for everyone and every player will eventually find his own unique trio.

This way you start the game with Hollywood, an egocentric actor renamed super agent. This character is your standard shooter with an assault rifle and grenade maker. But later you will also get more obscure characters. For example, Daisy drives on roller skates with a machine gun in her hands. Or what about Red Card, a hooligan that can turn his shotgun into a long-range weapon.

Each character can be further personalized with discoverable skills that are free to complete by completing missions. For example, an upgrade is forgiven to the weapon of the character, a passive force that always works and you can select a so-called Mayhem attack. Consider Ultimate Ability in Overwatch, which you can use as soon as the meter is fully filled.

Load of the well-known cheeses

These Mayhem attacks let your agents see their strongest but crazy side. With often cool music you can release even more violence on all the LEGION gear that drives you. The schedule of heroes in Agents of Mayhem is by far the strength of the game.

Before you can bet all your agents, you must first play them by completing their personal missions. In this you often get a taste of what each character can and afterwards you can decide if he or she can join your team. Accompanied with short introductory films, you will get some background information on these moments.

It is therefore a pity to see that the rest of the missions are somewhat monotonous, unfortunately, a problem that has many open world games. Assignments are often the same and can therefore quickly feel boring. Drive within point to point A, hack point B, shoot enemies at point C. If you are bad at repetition, Agents of Mayhem may not be for you.

Imperfections take you from the experience

The action and the many dialogues know something to hide this, but it remains the game that is most in the way. Especially when you start the second half of the main story, start the game a bit. Missions are becoming less interesting and levels are increasingly on display. Certainly the random dungeons you regularly encounter in the game seem to be copied more than once in one.

In addition, the game suffers from some strange mistakes that you sometimes draw from the experience. Music plays quietly during certain cut scenes, which sometimes makes you unable to understand dialogues. Whether a character is stuck in a wall, causing you to restart the mission. Of course, these kinds of things do not belong.

The final confrontation at the end of the eleven-hour campaign is fortunately a good game of luck, even though the end gives all space for a possible continuation. The plot of Agents of Mayhem is flint thin, but that does not matter. The game feels like an interactive series of Power Rangers, in which you can tackle another evil villain in every operation.

Agents of Mayhem review - A juicy snack

Agents of Mayhem is brainless action material. Nice popping against crazy opponents, while the foolish jokes fly around the ears. The many agents steal the show with their unique personalities and equipment. Also, the artistic style of the game exudes creativity and creates an added extra atmosphere.

It's a pity that a different, very cool game is undermined by the repetitive gameplay and technical mistakes. Missions certainly feel the same in the game, and some levels are replicas of already completed sections. With this, Agents of Mayhem stays just a little while before the busy game season starts again. But a juicy, delicious and extra ketchup.

The plus and the drawbacks

✔ Tough graphics style
✔ Many different agents
✔ Fat over-the-top action and humor
✖ Monotonous missions and locations
✖ Technical defects

Thanks for reading, I hope you liked it!
