Mad Max

In "Mad Max," you take on the role of the title character, Mad Max, a dangerous close-quarters fighter who can kill almost anyone with his attacks. His favorite weapon is the shotgun. He is assisted by another man named Chumbucket. Chum mainly works with Max to build and upgrade the vehicle “Magnum Opus.” “Mad Max” offers a variety of weapons Max can use to defeat his opponents. Although the shotgun is Max’s favorite weapon, ammunition is scarce, so melee attacks are the smarter choice. The “Thunderstick” is an explosive weapon that can be rammed into an opponent’s chest—it crackles like a lit dynamite fuse before tearing the victim to pieces. The harpoon is also one of Max’s favorite weapons, but it can only be used in the vehicle when Chum is riding along. Max’s “Magnum Opus” can be combined with a fast V12 engine and a powerful ramming function to destroy enemies’ vehicles and weapons. When you drive and aim at the same time, the game switches to slow motion, allowing you to switch back and forth between targets. Not much is known yet about vehicle combat and its features. “Mad Max” will feature a crafting system that allows you to create new weapons and tools. In Max’s garage, you can also change and modify the engine, suspension, wheels, and body—including the paint job and the vehicle’s “shell”—which will adjust the car’s weight and characteristics accordingly. Max can also be upgraded, although the plans for this haven’t been fully implemented yet. The game offers many choices, such as whether to take a low-key or aggressive approach. Max can also seek advice from Chum on how to strategically achieve his goals. Ultimately, however, it’s largely up to the player to decide how to complete the objectives.
