Not the best way to do it, certainly, but they are well worth checking out along the way. There are also a number of log files, accessible from Persephone’s office aboard the Ark, which add further nuance. Swapping between different configurations with trigger dozens upon dozens of mini conversations which really help flesh out the various agents under your command as well as expanding on their backstory. The vast majority of your team’s character development comes from idle chatter however, of which there is a dizzying amount. Only two missions a piece, but they’re reasonably lengthy, with a third for each of the pre-built, three man teams the agents sub divide into. Which is pretty cool actually.Īs well as the main story, each character has a small, side story of their own. Uhm, good thing your dudes have no concept of gravity eh? They can fall from any height and just…land. Your base, the Ark, is a floating fortress in the sky, equipped with a teleporter…which is a giant tube your crew dive into, to be teleported to about fifty feet above the ground, so they fall even further. Choose three of them (my personal favourites are Rama, Yeti and Joule) and, literally, drop into the middle of it. You, on the other hand, have almost two dozen agents to choose from, all with their own personalities and specialties. Making quite clear that the game’s protagonist is, himself, only a fairly minor flunky. Mayhem, after all, does end on something of a cliffhanger.

Probably something that will be explored in greater detail in the potential sequel. The significance of that isn’t immediately apparent, but there’s actually a lot of religious symbology scattered throughout the game, firmly in the background, but ever present.

Brought together by a lass called Persephone, who used to work for the bad guys, L.E.G.I.O.N as the Minister of Gluttony. Agents of Mayhem is a game about a covert group called M.A.Y.H.E.M that is made of a colourful and diverse cast of, let’s be honest, mass murdering sociopaths. Mind blowing right? It almost defies belief, but there you go! I’m…not sure why that’s been such a difficult concept to grasp, but a shocking amount of people still seem baffled by the possibility, so there you go.Īnyhoo. Hey, did you know this isn’t Saints Row? You know, this game that wasn’t intended to be Saints Row, wasn’t advertised as Saints Row and isn’t even called Saints Row. Though, honestly, I was initially only curious, not expecting to jump in any time soon, but that apparent apathy didn’t last all that long, and here we are exploring Agents of Mayhem. So, of course, when I heard they were working on a new title, my interest was piqued. Pretty much every game they’ve ever made ranks itself as a member of my personal collection, with the majority sitting firm and resolute among my favourites list. Volition and I have quite the storied history.
