Game Description
Mostroscope is a title that draws heavily on the traditions of classic arcade combat, combining elements of the horror genre and Mexican luchador films of the 1950s. Set against a backdrop of monsters and masked wrestlers, this adventure game has a distinctive atmosphere reminiscent of old movies, while offering simple but fun combat mechanics. Most of the time, fighting games tend to be cluttered with overly complex systems. However, the gameplay here is accessible, and the control scheme, inspired by classics like Smash Bros and Street Fighter x Tekken, allows users to quickly jump into the action without requiring a steep learning curve.
The eclectic cast of players is an attraction in itself, featuring a variety of unique characters, from mummies to werewolves, each with their own moves and quirks. Mostroscope’s roster is diverse, drawing inspiration from classic horror and monster tropes, offering everything from vampires to primal creatures. The emphasis is on diversity, the characters differ not only in design, but also in their attack style. The control system in the title is thought out to the smallest detail, allowing users to focus on the action rather than on memorizing complex button sequences. However, there is enough variety in the moveset to keep things interesting.
