I was initially really impressed by the simplicity of the game: take out your opponents by any means necessary.

If you’re looking for a game to kill some time with a couple of friends, and want to lay the smack down on them, then Gang Beasts could be the game for you.Ĭody Shults, Editor: Like Andrew, I also had an opportunity to play Gang Beasts at Bit Bash Chicago last year. Once I got the hang of the controls, though, it was pretty easy grabbing onto the others and lifting them over the various dangers.

It may be an update or something else different between the two versions, but at home it was hard to tell if I was even throwing a punch, and being knocked down appeared to be arbitrary. However when playing it at home, I didn’t get that same sense of force. When I played Gang Beasts at Bit Bash earlier this year, it seemed like punching had some heft to it and you could knock out a character for a few seconds. In addition to pulling and throwing your competition, you are also supposed to be able to punch and push them down. While I wholeheartedly enjoyed playing Gang Beasts with friends and participating in the smack talk that comes with it, there were some parts that left for wanting. There are a variety of different types of levels ranging from a meat packaging plant and incinerator to an ocean-front Ferris wheel and a plain old wrestling ring. No story, no extensive game design, just good old button mashing. There is very little to Gang Beasts in terms of plot: throw your friends into danger and be the last one standing.

When playing with a group of friends in a smaller setting, and fewer players, there is no reduction in fun by any means.

Andrew Burrage, Editor: I had the opportunity to play Gang Beasts at Bit Bash in Chicago earlier in September, and the game is a total blast, especially in that kind of atmosphere.
