Among Us

Among Us is a funny two-dimensional multiplayer game that escapes genre classifications. In it we prepare the spaceship for departure - at the same time we cooperate and compete with other players. The game was developed and published by the independent studio Innersloth.

Mechanics

In Among Us, the action is observed from top-down perspective. This is an unusual game in which our task is to prepare the spacecraft for launch. It requires cooperation with other players - together we perform various tasks, thanks to which we fill a special bar.

However, we have to be careful - in the group there are saboteurs whose task is to break up our plans. We need to keep an eye on the map and camera images to watch what other players are doing. Interestingly, an alternative way to end the game is to find and throw all hidden enemies off the ship.

Saboteurs can spoil various elements of the ship and even kill crew members. Groups have the opportunity to call meetings to discuss events and we can vote on who will be thrown off the ship.

It is worth noting that the game allows you to customize both the character we play (we can change the color and the hat), as well as various mechanics (e.g. by adding more saboteurs or tasks).

Game modes

In Among Us we can only play with others. The main game mode is the multiplayer, where we can play both over the Internet and over the LAN.

Technical aspects

Among Us has very simple, two-dimensional graphics. The graphic design does not impress, but it is clear and well reflects the humorous nature of this production.

Other information

Among Us multiplayer mode has a crossplatform nature - players who play on computers can play with users using smartphones (Android and iOS). Production is also integrated with the communication service Discord.
