Mayan Death Robots is a blend between a fighting game and an artillery game: think Worms on speed with a roster of massive alien robots who duke it out during the height of the Maya civilization. Mayan Death Robots is a simultaneous turn-based game, which means all players have their turn at the same time, and they have only a few seconds to pick their weapon and aim. This results in hectic, fast-paced gameplay where you have to balance lots of different objectives: attacking the enemy heart, battling the enemy Mayan tribe and keeping your defenses up by using the construction gun. Since Mayan Death Robots is a local multiplayer only game, you’ll be able to look your friend in the eye just before delivering the killing blow (often ending the friendship right there and then). You can even set up a dual keyboard control scheme for maximum elbow sabotage action, or just use gamepads if you want to keep a safe distance.
Mayan Death Robots is simple but yet highly addictive Worms like ballicstic game and definitely deserve a 10/10 (only because there are not that much games in the genre).
How to say it short and sweet: It's like Worms, but with goldike powers!
I've been stalking this project ever since I saw it first at the Antwerp Convention 2014.
The graphics are a nice mix between traditional graphics and not overly done 3D, managing just to hit that sweetspot.
The sound is well fitted for the atmosphere formed by the graphics and gameplay.
Gameplay is simply a lot of fun when playing with a friend.
