‘Mayhem’ Is a Fun Looking Side-Scrolling MP Arena Coming this Year

One genre we haven’t seen a lot of on the App Store is side-scrolling multiplayer games, with the upcoming Armajet being one of the few games trying to fill the gap. Mayhem, a 3v3 team multiplayer arena shooter game, aims to join Armajet by bringing competitive side-scrolling fun later this year, and I like what I’ve seen in our Upcoming Forum games thread so far. Unlike Armajet, whose characters are all the same, Mayhem has mercenaries with different play-styles, which should make it feel more like a MOBA than just a shooter. Judging from the video, you have a sniper, a close-combat specialist, and so on. And you can, of course, upgrade your mercs’ abilities for further customization.

The developers will release another beta build on March 22nd for both iOS and Android, and you can preregister here if you want to. And if you want to get your hands on it even earlier, you can try and become a Mayhem Ambassador. You can learn all the details in our forum thread as well as chat to the developers. What do you think of Mayhem?
