    Hextech Mayhem: A League of Legends Story has good level design and enjoyable music with which you will destroy the city of Piltover with Ziggs. Unfortunately, the lack of calibration, precision, and repetitive controls can turn it into a frustrating title.

    One of the better rhythm games, which also offers good long-term motivation. And that for little money.

    For 10 bucks, you're getting a personality-driven rhythm romp with the hindsight of a decade plus of genre experience.

    Of our protagonists, though, I'd want to be Ziggs. After all, he's here to light it up, set the world on fire, and break rules in two. After all, that's what the baddest do (sorry not sorry for being the best).

    Curious League of Legends spin-off, this Hextech Mayhem. It’s a simple but solid rhythm game that could use some variety to spice up the gameplay and the level design.

    Hextech Mayhem will keep you busy for a few hours, and at a budget price of just under 10 euros, it was hard to ask for more.

    Hextech Mayhem is a lot of things in a small package: It’s a music game with an excellent soundtrack, a League of Legends game that doesn’t punish players not-in-the-know, and a rhythm game that lets you color outside the lines to find new routes to pursue. But it’s that last part, the freedom to jump around to your own beat just in time to fall back in line, that will keep it in my memory. It’s rare that a single feature adds both accessibility and depth, but Hextech Mayhem stands out as a unique title capable of generating creativity on what otherwise seems like a linear path.

This game is completely uninspired with levels that look the same well beyond the endgame.
    It doesnt help that the inputs arent registered 30% of the time and you cannot change them eihter, so you're stuck with a bad distribution of keys that dont make any sense.
    The requirements to pass each level end up hurting your progress because you're stuck in levels that are only hard because the game isnt properly developed(you dont know when you have to input(before,after or at the proper time because each input is different and the game never explains why) and it doesnt help that the golden "coins" that you need to progress are completely out of path.

    Its a bad game but some fun can be had.    … Full Review »

If you like LoL that's a plus, but definitely don't need to know anything about it. Performing well in rythm games has a special sort of satisfaction, and this game successfully delivers that.… Full Review »
