Among Us

Among Us is a funny, 2D multiplayer game whose genre is hard to classify. 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.

Rules

In Among Us, the action is observed from top-down view. 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 are able to call meetings where events are discussed and a vote is taken 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).Among Us has very simple, 2D graphics. The setting does not impress, but it is clear and well reflects the humorous nature of the game. The game does not contain microtransactions, but you can buy various cosmetic add-ons such as skins or pets (e.g. a tiny hamster in a spherical terrarium) as DLC.

Game modes

In Among Us we can only play with others. The core of the game is the multiplayer mode, with the fun taking place both over the Internet and via LAN.

Cross-play

Among Us multiplayer mode has a crossplatform nature - players who play on computers can play with users using smartphones (Android and iOS). The game is also integrated with the well-known messenger Discord.
