MULLET MADJACK Reviews
Andy Warhol once predicted the famous 15 minutes of fame, but Mullet MadJack needs only 10 seconds to win over players. Despite its simple and straightforward concept, HAMMER95's work captivates with entertainment and near-perfect balance. The narrative layer adds charm, even though it might initially seem superficial. The result is a bold, unconventional, and delightfully psychedelic FPS, hindered only by repetitive level layouts and the inherent randomness typical of roguelikes.

There's no time to stop in this roguelike inspired by ultra-violent anime, set in a world of streaming and billionaires, where views are the future, and our lives only matter as long as the audience keeps cheering for us.

Mullet MadJack is versatile: it’s perfect for hours of gameplay in a single session or even a quick ten-minute break to progress or just have some fun battling robots. Its 90s-inspired style is dripping with nostalgia, reminding me of movies like The Running Man and Terminator.
MULLET MADJACK is a game that you have to try if you want to, and even more so when it's part of the Xbox Game Pass catalogue. Action in abundance, theme and incredible atmosphere help to make the gameplay simple to control and satisfying to execute, making the game one of the jewels of what we have been without a doubt.

Mullet MadJack is an absolute blast to play. It’s high intense action, fast paced and adrenaline pumping. The health vs timer system does take a bit of time to adapt to, but once you get a grasp of it, you’ll have a blast. But again, it’s not for everyone because at the same time, the timer can feel like a strict method of playing. Thankfully, if you just want to enjoy a balls to the walls shooter, disable the timer and just go nuts. If you’re looking for a unique FPS experience, Mullet MadJack is highly recommended. And it’s on Gamepass! (as of this writing).
Mullet MadJack is excellent in every way. It looks great, sounds even better, and has gameplay for days. It’s a day-one port into Xbox Game Pass. No matter your skill level, there will be something for you to do in this weirdly wonderful title.
Mullet MadJack is a tour de force of sensory overload and pure chaos, wrapped in a tight 2-3 hour package that begs to be played over and over. If the final chapter is any indication on where a possible sequel could go, I am strapped in and ready to count down the seconds as bullets and mullets coalecse into something downright incredible.
I went into this game expecting a frenetic, fun shooter with an old-school anime aesthetic and that's exactly what I got, but I got it in a very polished and well thought-out format.

Mullet MadJack is, without a doubt, the best experience I've had in 2024 up until the moment I'm writing this review. I already knew I could expect good things from the game, since frenetic boomer shooters are a type of game I love passionately, but I didn't expect it to click so well with me. Its criticisms of the system, the retrowave aesthetic with anime influences, and the synthwave soundtrack fit together masterfully, creating an incredible experience that you don't see every day. Now, I want a mullet.

Taking place in a crazy version of a not-so-far flung future, Mullet MadJack is a mad dash towards the finish, drenched in some of the best cyberpunk aesthetics I’ve ever seen in a videogame. Brazilian studio Hammer95’s debut game is an incredibly violent, blood-pumping adventure that keeps on giving, stage after stage of fast action and a level of excitement that’s comparable to the seminal indie classic Hotline Miami.
Mullet Madjack is a breakneck action package that never ceases to impress. Despite being quite challenging, it never stoops to the point of being unfair or frustrating. I would have loved to see more levels, more upgrades and more boss fights, but what’s on offer here is extremely captivating. Plus, the regional pricing is pretty reasonable as well.
The soundtrack and overall effects in Mullet Mad Jack are also a very notable mention. The gunshots and slashing from the swords are very precise and arcade-like, providing nothing but satisfaction when kicking a robot into a fan and watching it disintegrate with a crunch.
Mullet MadJack is one of the coolest games that I’ve played, with the manic fast-paced action and slick visuals ensuring it’s a blast from start to end. It can be guilty of being a little repetitive in places, but the non-stop excitement of the gameplay, the ever-evolving enemy threat, the dastardly hazards you face, and the satisfying sense of progress felt as you progress between floors ensures that the excitement never dies as you look to save the girl. It’s f*****g brilliant.
Mullet Madjack's retro-futuristic aesthetic that mixes anime and action movies together to create an exciting backdrop for a speedrunning boomer shooter that is filled with non-stop action.
Mullet MadJack excites not just as an excellent shooter with its insanely intense and surprisingly vast array of moment-to-moment possibilities, but also as a sign of the maximalist, short-form future.
With frenetic gameplay, retro wave music and a succession of colorful flashing images, Mullet MadJack is a shooter that makes adrenaline flow from the pores. A title that manages to break through, with pure kick, lead and freneticism, placing itself on the podium as one of the best experiences of 2024, demonstrating that it is what it takes to succeed in the genre.

[T]his tribute to 90s shooters and anime culture is a helluva light show. Mullet Madjack comes highly recommended if you're into replayable corridor shooters tailor-made for 2024's sensibilities.
Mullet Madjack is a breath of fresh air that delivers one of the most refreshing shooters I’ve played in the past few years.
Awesome. This is Mullet MadJack in a nutshell. It could have easily been just another first-person shooter with a neat visual gimmick, but its developers went above and beyond with a lot of style and a fantastic gameplay loop, which is equally enjoyable in either Easy or Hard difficulties, for completely different reasons. It doesn’t matter if you just want to feel overpowered against an army of robots, or if you’re looking for a challenge: Mullet MadJack delivers in spades.
Mullet Madjack is something between a clever parody and a loving tribute to the genres it was inspired by, full of both clever critique and engaging writing. Throw a fast-paced, exciting, and super-addictive gameplay loop on top of that, and you have my new favorite title.
