As your team mostly consists of animals, you will hear animal noises all the time, especially HONK! Each weapon has its own distinguishing sound, the drivable vehicles have loud engines representing their powerful nature and if you are familiar with Metal Slug, then you will love the announcer’s voice that informs what new gun you just picked up. The music gets you in the mood for blasting the many monsters and hostiles that you encounter in the different locations in the game. In Mighty Goose, you have a combination between high-quality sound effects and music that give this real arcade shooter vibe while staying true to the old ways. They portray the action in 2.5D while maintaining the same art style as the actual game.Ī game that looks like it came from the 90s wouldn’t feel the same if the music and sound effects were overly modernized. Therefore it is great that Mighty Goose performs really well on Nintendo’s hybrid console.Īs an added bonus there are the well-crafted cutscenes that pop up between some missions. This combination is known that at peak action, these games tend to stutter because there is too much going on at once.
These high-paced action games are well known for having a screen filled with enemies, bullets and explosions. The artwork for Mighty Goose seems to be inspired by franchises such as the Metal Slug and Mega Man. The game utilizes retro-inspired pixelated graphics, combined with some of the nicest animations and visual effects out there. Mighty Goose is a visual feast for the eyes. The ending is pretty interesting nonetheless. It would make everything much more interesting knowing why you and your team got mixed in with VOID their business. Sadly, the plot points shown are never clarified. The few bits of the story are stringed together by some amazing cutscenes but they don’t really add into the lore of the game, but string different events together.Īs the main game isn’t super long, you can easily blast through it in an afternoon. VOID is a faction that is excavating an ancient planet in order to unearth its secrets of magic and necromancy. After completing a few levels you slowly discover that your character is a bounty hunter and is throwing a wrench into the plans of the VOID overlord. Your first mission is to save your weapons specialist in a prison that is run by VOID. Nothing much is known about the story when first starting up the game. Everything from the start to finish is nearly perfect, only the absence of a real story stood in the way of this game getting a solid 10.
Luckily Mighty Goose falls into the first category as this title mixes inspiration from two big cult classics and combines these iconic aspects into an action game that you want to keep playing. Sometimes when developers take inspiration from popular games they either create a new masterpiece or a pile of hot garbage.
