Evaluation

Freaky Awesome launched on October 18, 2017. Following release, Mandragora pushed out a series of patches: a Halloween-themed content update on October 26, 2017, and a more substantial feature patch on December 12, 2017 (Update 1.0.2.05) that reworked the mutation system and added Mac OSX support. That December 2017 patch represents the last meaningful content addition to the game. After that, the developer's only communication relevant to Freaky Awesome was a July 2018 post announcing that Mandragora was working on a new, unannounced title — signalling that the studio had moved on. Subsequent news posts from the studio are entirely about their next game, SKYHILL: Black Mist, with no further content or updates announced for Freaky Awesome. The DLC list contains only the soundtrack, which released alongside the game on October 18, 2017. No future content was ever announced, no roadmap was published, and the developer has not communicated any plans to return to the game. Freaky Awesome launched as a complete product and received a short post-launch support window before the studio shifted focus entirely to their next project.

About this game

When you found out that your missing dog was being held at the old factory, your past as an action hero kicked in and you didn’t hesitate: you grabbed your keys, jumped in your car and drove all the way there. Yeah, there are toxic wastes, weird creepy monsters and deadly traps there, and it’s very likely that you will mutate into horrendous shapes and even die a lot, but you would do anything for your four-legged friend – even becoming a four-legged hairy beast yourself! Fight, mutate, die, repeat: this is Freaky Awesome!

Freaky Awesome is a hectic action rogue-lite where you have to fight your way out of an old factory, full of mutated monsters and traps; the general layout of the factory and its rooms are procedurally generated. Every enemy leaves behind a poodle of mutagen that can heal you, but also mutates you eventually – even if you are in the middle of a fight! In order to survive, you will need to adapt quickly to the powers and specific mechanics of every mutation. Tearing off your head to throw it at an enemy? Sure! Laying eggs and seeing tiny copies of you hatching and fighting for you? Why not! And on top of that, you can use objects in combat and develop your character to unlock new powerful skills, as well as play in co-op with up to 4 players!

KEY FEATURES

  • Fight against weird mutants in this fast-paced rogue-lite
  • Mutate to survive: mutagens replenish your health but also changes you into wild forms – each with different mechanics and powers!
  • Gain new mutations! Slay bosses to unlock their forms as a newly available mutation
  • Explore a mutating world: the game itself mutates! The map is randomly generated, but the game itself changes every successful run with new unlocked locations and enemies, bigger levels, stronger bosses and new mechanics
  • Avoid traps… or use them to your advantage: explosives, flying barrels, moving saws, flames and even flying pig heads are as deadly to you as to your enemies!
  • Use items to help you in combat!
  • Rogue-lite with permadeath: death is permanent, but your advancements too. You can keep your unlocked items, skills and mutations
  • Play solo or with friends with an up to 4 players co-op. You can keep the progress earned while playing multi!
