Our take on Mugsters
The open-ended sandbox gives players room to improvise, but that freedom puts less emphasis on tightly prescribed puzzle solutions. Its cooperative option is local, so the two-player format is tied to sharing a session rather than playing online.
What is Mugsters?
Mugsters is an action puzzler set on islands controlled by aliens.
Each level gives players objectives such as freeing prisoners, collecting crystals, and escaping. The physics-based sandbox lets players experiment with vehicles, explosives, and environmental traps, choosing how to approach each challenge. More than 30 vehicle types can be used to ram, cut through, or shoot at obstacles and enemies. Levels include hazards such as abduction rays, rocket turrets, and other traps, while pursuing aliens add pressure to the escape. The single-player campaign missions are also remixed for local two-player cooperative play, so a friend can join the same set of missions.
