Considering there are so many big-budget sandbox titles out there, it takes a lot for one to stand out. Is Agents of Mayhem's large cast of characters appealing enough to make it worthwhile? Board the Ark and let's find out.

If subtlety was a person, I’m pretty sure the Agents of Mayhem would tell them to “suck it”. It flies its flag of in-your-face attitude with pride and does it so well, that you can almost forgive it for making really lame jokes about things like Uranus. If you’re looking for some unadulterated adult fun, then I recommend becoming an Agent of Mayhem today.

Watching Saturday morning cartoons as kid, there was always one thing that bothered us about shows focusing on paramilitary groups such as M.A.S.K. and G.I Joe. No, it wasn’t the fact they were designed primarily to sell toys to impressionable young minds, it was the way none of the teams ever showed up en masse to foil the plans of whichever evil organisation they were up against.

Agents of Mayhem is a curious beast.

Agents of Mayhem is an open-world action game where a motley outfit of unique and diverse Super Agents are recruited from around the world to thwart the destructive schemes of the evil supervillain organization L.E.G.I.O.N.

Despite the diversity and progression among the cast of agents and their abilities, the game grows stale too quickly. After introducing each of the few enemy types within the first hour or so of the game no new ones, aside from a few slightly modified bosses, are ever introduced. I found that after a bit of experimenting I discovered a favorite team of agents and left the rest mostly untouched, causing their levels and viability to fall behind. The futuristic vision of Seoul is quite stylish, but ultimately empty. Civilians barely fit the requirements of extras in the background, the few non-...

Despite fun combat and characters, Agents of Mayhem becomes repetitive and grinding. In trying to chase the popularity of Saints Row, it misses having an identity of its own.

Saints Row 5 is a game about a secret agency... Oh, what's that? This is a NEW game called Agents of Mayhem? I'm quite sure this plays and feels like it's another entry in the Saints Row series from developer Deep Silver. After all, it plays like a Saints Row…

“Agents of Mayhem settles in as an underwhelming, forgetful entry in the overfilled open world genre.”

Volition are at it again with their latest game, Agents of Mayhem. If you said the name Volition, most gamers would likely scream back at you “oh yeah, the people that made that Saints Row series of games.” Whilst the Saints Row franchise has definitely been a cash cow for Volition it never quite broke the stigma of being compared to GTA (Grand Theft Auto) no matter how many alien abductions and all-out parodies they might have tried.
