New Roguelike 'Maniac' Offers Fast-Paced GTA-Style Mayhem Without the Violence
-
Maniac is a new roguelike game that recreates the classic GTA experience of seeing how long you can survive against aggressive police.
-
The gameplay loop involves causing mayhem in a randomly generated city for 20 minutes before the city gets nuked.
-
You collect money to upgrade abilities between runs, like making your character tougher or deadlier.
-
Maniac uses a silly, cartoonish style instead of realism, avoiding issues newer GTA games have with violence.
-
With quick 20 minute runs, unlockable upgrades, and random maps, Maniac is easy to play for hours trying to set new high scores.
