Release Date: March 17, 2022
Cyberpunk action RPG game, in which we get to the rising after the catastrophe Metropolis. The main character of ANNO: Mutationem walks through its streets, confronting the adversaries lurking in wait for her.
ANNO: Mutationem is an action RPG developed by an independent Chinese studio called ThinkingStars - a team of both industry veterans and novice developers. This game uses cyberpunk style and allows the player to explore a futuristic metropolis full of powerful corporations and strange creatures.
In ANNO: Mutationem we play as Ann - a woman trained in combat who, for personal reasons, finds herself in the city of Metropolis. She is accompanied by her friend Ayane, a hacker.
ANNO: Mutationem is a side-scrolling game, but sometimes the camera moves behind the heroine - this happens when we explore the cyberpunk city, thanks to which we get to see the game world from a slightly different perspective.
Locations are full of enemies of all kinds, a list of which includes both robots and powerful beasts. We use cold weapons, various guns and other equipment (such as grenades) in dynamic and spectacular battles with our opponents. The heroine can also use combos.
It is worth noting that the game in some ways refers to the metroidvania format - the world is open and we can go back and forth to the already visited locations, where we sometimes encounter new things and events. As we progress through the game, we gradually strengthen the protagonist's stats and gain new abilities and equipment. Players can also modify the weapons they find by using special chips.
In ANNO: Mutationem we can play only solo. A story campaign is the foundation of the gameplay.
ANNO: Mutationem features colorful, pixel art graphics made in 2.5D technique. The title runs on Unity technology and uses a rather classic manga style.
It is interesting to note that the development of this game was accompanied by the SCP Foundation initiative, in which people from all over the world could share their gameplay ideas with the authors.

Game Ratings for ANNO: Mutationem Video Game.
GamingTrend: 50 / 100 by David Flynn
ANNO: Mutationem had a lot of promise, but ended up spread far too thin. Both the exploration and combat lack any sort of depth, the story is nonsensical, and the sprite work looks ugly in motion.
COGconnected: 80 / 100 by Jaz Sagoo
ANNO: Mutationem is an audacious title that successfully merges genres. While the 3D segments aren’t as tight as its 2D counterpart, the originality shines through making this a fresh adventure. The gorgeous environment is full of character and is a joy to inhabit. However, the delivery of the narrative lacks the nuances to fully immerse. With its solid action gameplay and exciting bosses, fans of the genre will have a blast in this futuristic, cyberpunk escapade.
GBAtemp: 7.5 / 10 by Prans Dunn
ANNO: Mutationem is a gorgeous-looking, original indie title that, while bearing issues with the narrative design, is a display of promising potential for developer ThinkingStars.
