About
Mugsters is a single player and multiplayer action adventure game. It was developed by Reinkout Games and was released on July 17, 2018. It received mostly positive reviews from both critics and players.
In Mugsters you have one simple mission; to rescue survivors, defeat aliens, collect crystals and SAVE THE WORLD. Okay, so maybe not so simple. Mugsters is a physics-based, action puzzle game where you must outrun, out-manoeuvre and outsmart your enemies by experimenting with different sandbox levels, vehicles, environmental traps and explosives.
- Challenging and creative puzzles that are mostly achievable within a few tries.
- Fun multiplayer experience with a surreal vibe and moments of intense gameplay.
- Cute and charming design, making it suitable for casual play and family game nights.
- Infuriatingly poor controls that can feel unresponsive and unintuitive.
- Numerous bugs and glitches that can hinder gameplay and progress.
- The game feels rushed and unfinished, with uneven difficulty scaling and a disappointing ending.

The game's story is criticized for being unclear and lacking context, leaving players unsure of their objectives. While there is a notable plot twist, many feel that the narrative does not provide a satisfying conclusion, especially with technical issues preventing access to the final mission. Overall, the story is seen as a weak point, failing to engage players deeply despite some enjoyable gameplay elements.
“This is a blooming great game, I have played the first 6 missions so far and 10/10.”
“Doesn't tell you the story, like why are you there, what are you doing.”
“Mugsters may not hit all the notes of a fast frenetic party game, and it may not have the deepest story to suck you in and keep you playing for months.”
“Basically, after 20+ hours of playing, I can't access the final mission because the game is buggy.”
Mugsters Review
Mugsters is a game for people who enjoy puzzle games without much flair or fanfare about them. The emphasis is clearly on the puzzles themselves and, despite a few stumbles, Mugsters proves to be an entertaining game that’s easy to come back to and somewhat difficult to put down; and with a decent amount of levels, with multiple objectives in each, you’ll be spending quite some time getting lost.
