Hextech Mayhem: A League of Legends Story is a fast-paced rhythm runner where every action has an explosive reaction and no amount of mayhem is too much, featuring familiar champions from the League of Legends universe. Take on the role of Hexplosives expert Ziggs as you rampage through the neighborhoods of Piltover while you bomb, bounce, and bop to the beat of the music to avoid obstacles, disarm enemies, and light fuses. Use the Freestyle Mayhem System to create spontaneous blasts and grab bonus points… all while dodging the fun police and showing them what they’re really missing.
Overall, Hextech Mayhem is a good step for Riot to continue letting other developers experiment with their IP. The difficulty can spike unfairly at times and the rarer items require a bit too much trial and error to get behind, but it’s a solid diversion at its price point.
Despite these qualms, I mostly enjoyed my time with Hextech Mayhem: A League of Legends Story. There are definite issues I have with it as a rhythm platformer, and these make it a bit of a slog to play through in long sessions. However, for short bursts, there's little I can ultimately fault it for. If you're already a League of Legends fan looking...
Everything is declined in a discreet mix between runner platform and rhythm game. Hextech Mayhem will keep you busy for a handful of hours and, at a budget price of just under 10 euros, it was difficult to ask for more.
Playing Hextech Mayhem you'll find yourself keeping the tempo, while flying in explosions as a little yordle. And that's cool.
Hextech Mayhem: A League of Legends Story is a fun rhythm game that features a couple of interesting ideas. Other than that, this experience doesn't offer much for the MOBA world or for the gamer.
