    Of our protagonists, though, I'd want to be Ziggs. After all, he's here to light it up, set the world on fire, and break rules in two. After all, that's what the baddest do (sorry not sorry for being the best).

    For 10 bucks, you're getting a personality-driven rhythm romp with the hindsight of a decade plus of genre experience.

    One of the better rhythm games, which also offers good long-term motivation. And that for little money.

    Overall, Hextech Mayhem is a good step for Riot to continue letting other developers experiment with their IP. The difficulty can spike unfairly at times and the rarer items require a bit too much trial and error to get behind, but it’s a solid diversion at its price point. I just wish Choice Provisions had taken a bigger (or riskier) swing for their auto-runner to give genre fans something to really dig into.

    A fun endless runner that does its job. Apart from expanding the League of Legends universe, it doesn’t offer anything particularly interesting.

    Impossible not to know League of Legends, especially in these days. Not that it's a bad thing, let's understand, and that's why we suggest you to play Hextech Mayhem.

    While Hextech Mayhem: A League of Legends Story provides a great experience in short bursts, none of its levels feel as replayable as the best of the developer's past work or the best of the rhythm genre. This is a fatal flaw in a game with gated progression, and there are no supplementary modes or other features to distract from it. As it stands, the game's mix of mobile mechanics makes its release on traditional platforms baffling, and only those who are immediately intrigued by Ziggs in a game outside of League of Legends will get something substantial out of the final product in its current available forms.

    If you're expecting a quality game like the Bit.Trip series, forget it. This game is completely uninspired with levels that look the same wellIf you're expecting a quality game like the Bit.Trip series, forget it. This game is completely uninspired with levels that look the same well beyond the endgame.
    It doesnt help that the inputs arent registered 30% of the time and you cannot change them eihter, so you're stuck with a bad distribution of keys that dont make any sense.
    The requirements to pass each level end up hurting your progress because you're stuck in levels that are only hard because the game isnt properly developed(you dont know when you have to input(before,after or at the proper time because each input is different and the game never explains why) and it doesnt help that the golden "coins" that you need to progress are completely out of path.

    Its a bad game but some fun can be had.    … Expand
