Likewise, Soccer mode has you as the lone player on the field with no opposition. Melee and Gangs let you walk around on different stages, but there is nobody to fight. While Gang Beasts is a lot of fun, it is essential to note here that if you are playing local by yourself, the only mode where you can do anything is Waves. However, this mode also lets you fight your opponent and stun or throw them around with zero penalties, keeping with the game’s central theme. Whichever team has the most goals when the timer runs out wins. In this mode, you try and get the ball into the goal sign painted on the wall. Finally, Soccer lets you play in a small alley with up to four players. Again, the goal here is to throw them off the stage. Waves is a PvE mode where you can team up with other players and fight against AI opponents. Gangs have the same rules, but you’re with a team. There’s Melee, where you try to be the last man standing and win after doing so three times. Speaking of game modes, Gang Beasts has four that can be played local or online. Most, if not all, levels are available in every game mode except Soccer. One stage even appeared to be a food vendor cart! All stages have an edge of throwing your opponents from, but others have additional hazards, such as the grinders mentioned above. Players go to vents, incinerators, roofs of buildings, a few ice platforms to walk on next to a buoy, and more. The game has a reasonably wide variety of levels. There are a variety of stages to keep players satisfied. I found this more humorous than aggravating, as it made me think of a cartoon character slowly realizing he wasn’t going to make it. Another game saw me sliding down into a grinder. The sight of my little character jumping and running had me cracking up. In one match, I fell off the top of a truck and tried to catch up to it again. However, I never really felt frustrated when I lost. Of course, I died a lot while playing Gang Beasts. They were caught unawares and couldn’t react fast enough to save themselves.

I found that often when I was stunned and almost thrown off the stage, I turned it around by breaking free and surprising my opponent with a counterattack.
However, you can fight back and break out of their grasp. Of course, your opponents will do the same to you. You can always lead an enemy to the edge and then wallop them before throwing them off. There’s a lot of strategies that come with Gang Beasts. Gang Beasts lets you stun your opponents to give you a higher chance of throwing them out of the ring. Some actions are require holding down different buttons, so it may be a little hard to memorize and get the hang of at first. While you do not have to stun your opponent to pick them up, doing so gives you a higher chance of defeating them. Then, you can pick up that player and throw them off the stage. Your main goal is to beat up on an opponent, using punches, kicks, and headbutts to stun them. If you fall off, you can grab onto the side of the wall, then begin hoisting yourself back up to the top. Players can run, jump, and grab onto opponents and objects. The controls are pretty straightforward, with some button combinations added in for variety. Additionally, there are lots of customization options to make your character stand out. But the difficulty is bearable because of how darn fun it is. Like any game, Gang Beasts has hidden layers that make mastering the game fairly tricky. That’s not to say that there are not little tricks and nuances to watch out for. It feels almost retro, with its simplistic control scheme and art style. As I moved around and tried throwing my enemies off the stage into oblivion, it reminded me of old-school games. I felt nostalgic while playing Gang Beasts. Gang Beasts : A Modern Game That Evokes Old Gaming Tropes However, its simplicity is a double-edged sword. I was pleased to find out that I was right: Gang Beasts does a great job of being what it’s supposed to be. From the trailer I watched, it looked like a pretty fun and zany game, with characters and movement like that of Human Fall Flat. Originally a download-only game, the title has received a physical release for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Gang Beasts is a laugh-out-loud funny game.
