If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to wield a shotgun while rocking a killer mullet, you no longer have to imagine. Hammer95 Studios and Epopeia Games have just dropped their quirky, retro-inspired FPS Mullet MadJack on GOG. Released earlier this year and quickly gaining cult status, this explosive indie title blends old-school chaotic fun with a touch of Brazilian flair—and it’s now more accessible than ever for PC players.
Set in a world that’s like someone took the 80s, shook out all the seriousness, and cranked the chaos to 11, Mullet MadJack gives players control of—you guessed it—a mullet-touting, shotgun-wielding anti-hero named MadJack. He’s on a mission that mostly involves blowing things up, cracking jokes, and taking on hordes of enemies in gloriously flamboyant fashion. Think DOOM meets Duke Nukem, but with a distinctly Brazilian twist. And boy, does it deliver on that.
What really sets Mullet MadJack apart (besides its over-the-top protagonist) is its throwback aesthetic. The chunky, pixelated graphics are a loving nod to 90s shooters while still looking slick and colorful enough to hold up in 2024. And then there’s the soundtrack—a headbanging mix of synthwave and metal that perfectly captures the chaotic energy of the game. It’s the kind of game where your pulse quickens just from the soundtrack alone, even before you start dishing out lead.
One of the game’s standout features is its humor. Don’t expect Mullet MadJack to take itself seriously; the whole game is steeped in ridiculous one-liners, comedic moments, and references to a bygone era of action heroes who let their weapons—and their hair—do most of the talking. MadJack’s ego is only rivaled by the size of his guns, and it makes for an experience that’s both hilarious and heart-pounding.
The action itself? Absolutely relentless. The pace is fast, with levels built for maximum carnage. You’ll be running, gunning, and dodging enemies in arenas that throw you right into the thick of the fight. Periodic power-ups, including one that increases the size of MadJack’s already towering mullet, make the gameplay even more ridiculous. But don’t let the humor fool you—this game will test your reflexes. Precision is everything, especially when you’re low on health and surrounded by enemies.
As for the GOG release, players can rejoice knowing they’ll experience the game without the hassle of DRM. It’s a perfect match for anyone who wants to own this slice of chaos forever without any restrictions on their machine. Plus, GOG’s reputation for supporting indie developers means Mullet MadJack is in good company with some of the best indie games out there.
If you’re looking to jump into this neon-fueled, bullet-spraying, mullet-swinging spectacle, you can grab Mullet MadJack now on GOG:
Tips for Surviving the Madness:
-
Never Stop Moving – You can’t afford to stay in one place. Enemies come at you fast, and you’ll need to stay on your toes to dodge attacks while finding the best angle for your next shot.
-
Learn Your Power-ups – Certain power-ups can be the difference between life and death in this game. One power-up even speeds up your reload time, which is crucial when the screen’s swarming with enemies.
-
Abuse the Dodge Roll – MadJack moves fast, but his dodge roll makes him invincible for a split second. Use it to escape tight spots or dodge powerful attacks.
-
Keep Your Mullets in Check – Different mullet styles offer different bonuses. The bigger the mullet, the more damage you deal. Keep an eye out for mullet-increasing items to maximize your damage output.
-
Memorize the Patterns – Boss battles are no joke. Each one has a unique attack pattern, so take the time to learn their moves and strike during their vulnerable moments.
