Anarchy Reigns
Anarchy Reigns is a crazy third person perspective action game meant to be played over the internet. Players control powerful, ripped guys and impossibly flexible chicks, ruthlessly fighting each other on special arenas and using mighty weapons. With a publisher like Platinum Games, who is known for spectacular games like Bayonetta or MadWorld, to which the described game is a follow-up, Anarchy Reigns simply had to happen. The game is set in a post-apocalyptic, futuristic world where rival fractions continuously struggle for dominance. Single player story talks about the chase of a Maximilian Caxton, an ex-boss of the elite unit Strike One. We get to know the story thanks to two separate characters, both of whom get their own set of missions. We’ve got Jack Cayman, a mercenary known to some from MadWorld, and Max’s apprentice, Leo Victorion.
Both have their own motives to find Max and each has a story to tell. In single player, the player has to fight piles of enemies on a big area. Killing monsters get us points necessary to unlock new missions and secret rewards. However, Anarchy Reigns is mostly about multiplayer. Up to sixteen players can play together in more than ten highly diversified modes like Cage (duels), Tag Team (team fighting), Battle Royal (chaotic, enormous battles played on one big area) and Death Ball, which looks like a… rugby match. The game is action-packed with a fast, demanding fighting system. Every character has three types of attack and, additionally, a special one, for example Jack, one of the heroes of the single player campaign, has a chainsaw. To use it, the player has to save up enough energy collected through killing enemies. The great thing about the game is that this way of fighting is great both in single and in multi. It’s not a typical fighter, you can’t just keep mashing the buttons, you have to think about your movements, about blocking, dodging and hitting. Thanks to that, Anarchy Reigns is a satisfying game you will be able to enjoy in both modes. You always know that if you die, it is your fault, and not the game’s.
