It’s awesome to look at, sure, but it requires you to pay attention moreso so that you don’t get hit by stray fire.Īlso, the game is pretty short if you’re just aiming to get to the last boss and ending. I usually get hurt because some enemy bullets and grenades are obscured by the plethora of debris and explosions happening on-screen at the same time. My only major beef with Mighty Goose is that it can get a bit too chaotic. With spot-on controls and a number of attack options, you’ll feel great just mowing down enemies and will be tested for it with obstacles and explosions abound.
I really have no complaints here as everything I mentioned here is pulled off spectacularly from start to finish. All this and more just enhances the 2D run-and-gun experience. Collectibles on-screen do not disappear after a few seconds this is personally my favourite addition to this kind of run-and-gun game. You can also give your bounty hunter augments like longer “Goose Rage” mode (a super state where your bullets are faster and Goose is invincible), additional ammo from pickups, and double jumps. These range from a rabbit that fires plasma to a pig that gives you Heavy Machine Gun Ammo on occasion. You can equip Goose with one support weapons (bombs, protection, etc.) and one sidekick who tags along with you while firing at foes. Goose can also hover in the air if he shoots his gun downwards, with different weapons giving him different kinds of airtime. Your goose can buy weapons on the fly if he has enough scrap from slain enemies. The Goose also has a dodge button to evade enemy fire and cover more ground faster than usual. If he dies, he starts back at the last checkpoint of a stage. Instead of a lives system, the Goose has 4 hit points so he can take 4 hits. Mighty Goose’s sounds and catchy music is a cut above the rest.Īt the same time, Mighty Goose adds some much-needed features to keep the action going while making it fair yet challenging. It’s simply a thing of beauty you need to witness, as well as listen to. You even get to play through a level inspired by Mad Max, complete with a Goose Bike segment and multiple explosions from the damage you’ll be causing. One moment you’re storming a space prison camp, the next you’re in a Mad Max-inspired desert level complete with Goose Bike chase sequences followed by multiple explosions from your gun-toting mayhem. Mighty Goose is really fun is because it just doesn’t let up with the challenges and action beats. Mighty Goose is definitely doing that, even if it’s not really breaking new ground. To keep my attention beyond just being curious about that prospect, the developers just need to make a great game out of that idea one that can stand next to its contemporaries thanks to meaningful additions. If you tell me that someone is making a 2D run-and-gun game in the veins of the classic Metal Slug series, but starring a cybernetic bounty hunter Goose fighting aliens instead of Not-Nazis, I’m sold.
Sometimes, simplicity is the best policy. Genre: 2D Shooter Tribute To Metal Slug, But With A Goose
