Mullet Madjack: Best Indie Brazilian Gaming Experience in Recent Years by Pedro Zambarda

Pedro Zambarda’s Decade-Defining Verdict on Action-Packed ‘Mullet Madjack

Pedro Zambarda, Chief Editor, shares his definitive assessment of Mullet Madjack, a game released on May 15, 2024. Developed by Hammer95 (Alessandro Martinello) and published by Epopeia Games (known for Gaucho and the Grassland), the title has been thoroughly played by Zambarda, who now clears his conscience regarding his extensive experience. Zambarda considers Mullet Madjack the most compelling gaming experience he has encountered in a decade, both within Brazil and internationally. The game quickly garnered significant recognition, receiving praise from outlets like Screen Rant and Kotaku, and earning awards at prestigious events such as Gamescom Latin America and SBGames. Mullet Madjack stands out as the quintessential high-octane shooter, constantly challenging players to survive every ten seconds while battling billionaire robots. Its gameplay is relentlessly bloody, gruesome, and uncompromising. Consequently, those who do not favor fast-paced shooting should avoid this title. However, for shooter enthusiasts, the game offers a compelling experience, presenting a powerful monologue on how capitalism, big tech, and the social media attention economy are tearing us apart.

Mullet Madjack’s ’90s Nostalgia-Fueled Climb with Literary Flair Needs a Narrative Boost

The game’s progression, involving climbing a building, features quick and simple levels that evoke the experience of flipping through a classic Machado de Assis novel and may resonate with players who grew up in the 1990s. To gain additional lives and points, players must collect items such as the “goat foot” and “Machado” during their journey. While the game’s core mechanics are smooth, the protagonist, Mullet, could benefit from a narrative “shakeup” to become more captivating, potentially by breaking free from tired clichés. Nevertheless, the game performs seamlessly within its established framework.
