Once you get to the postgame content, they mix up elements and ramp up the difficulty.Īs you play through the levels, you’ll unlock companions and upgrades. You’ll also regularly find health paks to fully heal yourself, at least in the first few hours of the game. Which is good, since nearly every stage is comprised of multiple long segments. Luckily, there are sufficient checkpoints and infinite lives to keep you coming back for more. In fact, you can only sustain 4 hits before you bite the bullet. No amount of armor will keep the sheer volume of bullets, missiles and lasers hurled your way at bay. Cause though the titular goose is indeed very mighty, that’s not the same as invincible. Not every stage has a boss fight, but each stage will test you. It has you travel from level to level, fighting through hordes of foes and challenging bosses. It’s a game abounding with humor and no shortage of silliness. It shares a lot in common with Metal Slug, but also Contra and even Mischief Makers. It’s immediately apparent Mighty Goose is inspired by several classic series. Can you stop his cunning plans? Or will this goose get cooked? You play a feathered bounty hunter set against the nefarious Void King.


Developed by Blastmode and MP2 Games and published by Playism, it’s a completely bonkers adventure whose development I’ve been following for months. The latest game to do just that is Mighty Goose. They light up my brain’s creativity circuits in the most enjoyable fashion and keep me invested in the indie game scene. The ones that often fall through the cracks. I prefer covering the wacky, unconventional, and delightful games. While a good many gamers wait with bated breath for the next AAA title, I’m a bit different.
