Gun Mayhem Redux

Drop into a chaotic arena where the floor literally explodes under your feet and only one trigger-happy stickman walks away.

Gun Mayhem Redux is the kind of game that ruins friendships in the best possible way. You and up to three friends drop into a floating arena, grab whatever ridiculous weapon you can find, and try to blast each other into the abyss. That's it. But oh, the chaos that unfolds. The controls feel tight enough that every dodge and jump has weight, yet loose enough that one wrong move sends you tumbling over the edge. I still remember the first time my friend pulled out a rocket launcher and I double-jumped at the last second, watching the explosion rip the platform apart right under his feet. He didn't speak to me for ten minutes. The Redux version adds more of everything I loved about the original: crazier guns, bigger arenas, and a few new tricks that keep matches from ever feeling samey. There's a decent single-player campaign if you need to warm up, but the real meat is local multiplayer. Grab three friends, crowd around the keyboard, and prepare for shouted accusations of screen-looking. The weapon variety is the star here—shotguns, lasers, mines, even a gun that shoots bouncing fireballs—and each one forces you to rethink your approach. Do you camp near the edge and snipe, or rush in with a shotgun and hope for the best? The floor crumbles constantly, so standing still is a death sentence. If you're the competitive type, you'll start noticing little things: the way a well-timed jump cancels momentum, how certain guns have hidden sweet spots, and why controlling the center is almost always better than hugging the edges. It's the kind of game that's easy to pick up but surprisingly deep once you start caring about winning. Just don't expect to stay friends.

• Master the double jump early—it cancels fall momentum and lets you recover from a bad knockback. • Grab the rocket launcher whenever you see it; the splash damage can clear multiple opponents off the edge. • Stay near the center but keep moving—the edges crumble first and make you an easy target. • Throw mines onto the platforms where enemies tend to land, not where they are. • In multiplayer, use the secondary weapon (X or Y) as a surprise finisher when someone chases you. • If you're falling, spam jump—the game sometimes gives you a tiny ledge grab if you time it right.
