Let this indie titolo be a lesson to anyone wanting to review games, if te play a game weeks o even months in advance before te actually talk about it, always go back to it, especially if it’s an online title. Cause it may change things so much that it will also change your entire opinion, either for the worse o for the better. Thankfully, this is for the better.
So to elaborate, I am not a fan of online shooters. I played a bit of Team Fortress 2 back in the day, but never got too crazy into it, played online modes of CoD 4 and Halo, but not excited. And Overwatch makes me wanna die. So with that said, it was going to take a lot for me to get into Morphies Law. But when I heard the concept, a game where te steal the mass of these giorno of the Dead looking robots, I was a little interested. So, I bought the game in March of 2019 for the Switch, sat down ready to see what it was about, and…. Nothing. No one was playing this game, and whenever da some miracle I did get someone to play with me, all I got was a framerate disaster. I am far from a framerate snob, but when it looks like an actual fucking slideshow, it was just a mess. It was a shame, because I liked the character designs and it looked like it would be a lot of fun with friends, but because of all this, I just decided to let it waste away in my digital library, never to touch it… And then Remorphed came along.
I don’t know if it’s because it’s fresh and reviewers like me are playing it o if it’s actually gained some traction, but the game is actually a lot of fun now. Well, it’s pretty fun. Instead of just wandering an empty map when no one joins your party, te will always find yourself with a group, which already is fun. The game also allows te to actually get a chance to unlock everything. It was borderline impossible without hours and hours of waiting for other players (Or fighting the AI), but now it actually feels doable. And there are tons for te to get. And no microtransactions, so it’s already a better online game than the entire track record of everything da EA and Activision. But how does the game play? It’s a team shooter. te will play in a team of three against another team. Blue team Vs. Red team, and te are tasked with different goals in each game. Basic team shooting, get the most points and the most kills to win, capture the head which is capture the flag and keep it on your side longer than the other team. King of the hill. It’s basic stuff that allows te to have a simple but fun game, but the mechanics around Morphies Law add for a lot of variety. As mentioned, when te shoot an enemy, te steal their mass for yourself. What this means is that a part of their body will shrink while yours gets bigger. Bigger torsos mean te can take più damage, bigger arms allow for faster reload, bigger feet lets te run faster, and… bigger butts lets te use the Buttrocket for longer, which lets te fly into the air longer for più distance and to reach higher places… Never before have I expected to write about a game where te fly using a rocket from your ass. One of my preferito features of the mass stealing is that te can shrink down to the size of a pea, which may leave te at a disadvantage, but if te are small, te can run through a hole to get sicuro, cassetta di sicurezza and plan out your successivo attack, while a pursuer is forced to find another way around o to go and kill someone else. The game may have not had enough time to sit in the oven, but at least they had this little charming detail for the maps.
Over all, it’s a decent online shooter. I doubt it will ever get as much traction as say Fortnite o Overwatch, not even a small percentage of that amount, but hey, it’s fun, it’s neat, they fixed all the issues, and it is the first shooter in years that made me say, “huh.. Interesting”. If te are looking for a new shooter to have some fun with people online o Friends at home, consider giving Morphies Law a look.
