    Simply put, this is fun and has a lot of fresh ideas to get to that 19.99 value. It of course, as any game does, have some flaws.

The game has a variety of customization which is actually surprising , such as appearance, loadouts, ultimate abilities, and a special power. Game types are incredibly fun surprisingly and it's hilarious stealing mass from you or even your teammates. One second you're a massive construct, the next second you're small enough to enter mice tunnels.

    Online play is fun, but can get choppy with frames and latency/lag. Not game breaking though, but it does sometime compromise the full experience. Otherwise, it's pretty much worth the Jackson.    … Expand

    I feel this $19.99 game going to be underrated by Critics, Yes i experienced some lag and in a few minutes the Devs acknowledged the problem and working on making the game a smoother experience, i think they didn't expect so many people to buy it right out the gate so on first day it had problems. With all that said the game is a unique take on the genre and it delivers some laughs.

With all that said the game is a unique take on the genre and it delivers some laughs. The game has alot of customization which i enjoy messing with and the maps look great with lots of moving parts to give it a different feel. My personal favorite is the map with the red and blue morphie Avatar are holding this boat, these avatars grows and shrinks depending on who is winning, so the boat which is the map is always tilting on way or the other even back and forth.

    The game modes are pretty fun and a different take on previous game modes offered on other games in this genre with some being super unique as well. In a oversaturated market this is a breathe of fresh air and i welcome that.

    This game does has some flaws. Of course the lag part is a flaw, but can be fixed.spawn camping is also a problem people has complain about but i know how to get around it. I kinda wish you can get your friends in the game and be on the same team as well, you can play together but might not be on the same team right now.

    This is a fun indie title that i recommend picking up. It isn't perfect but it is a good fun time.    … Expand

    Morphies Law released last year to less-than-favorable reviews, citing bugs and terrible AI along with bad match-making.

    In the same vein as a Phoenix rising from the ashes, Morphies Law has come back with a vengeance, fixing issues that alienated the player base and allowing crossplay over dedicated servers with the newly launched Steam version of the game. This means that matches are not only plentiful, but they’re more stable than ever.

    The gimmick of the game is “mass transferring,” and as you shoot an enemy, the body part you shot gets smaller, while it increases in size on your own player character. This often has hilarious results — your screen will at times be filled with hulking sugar skull kids with tiny heads, and it’s honestly pretty amazing.

    The matches are in a similar format to Splatoon: 4v4 battles with customizable abilities you can set to your character in the form of “plugins” to your robot instead of clothing. This type of customization really allows you to tailor your gameplay and provides a lot of enjoyment.

    Morphies Law: Remorphed is a great example of a developer doing their best to improve upon their work, and if you slept on this the first time around, now is a good time to jump onboard.

    Pros:
    - Great visual aesthetic
    - Plenty to keep you engaged between matches
    - Free demo that allows you to keep playing after it expires.

    Cons:
    - It can be really annoying to try and hit tiny players.

    Overall: 8.5/10

    This re-release has done a wonderful job cleaning up and improving itself. The unique aesthetic and fun, quick gameplay make this a worthy entry for FPS fans.    … Expand

    It’s definitely fun. The game has improved after the last update. No current online multiplayer issues. There is a good online base and it’s very addictive. A Switch console exclusive that needs to be played at least once!

    A broken game that really isn't worth your time, especially when Splatoon already does all of this extraordinarily better. [Issue #36 – November/December 2018, p. 19]

    Morphies Law stands out for its concept which is more than worthy of the player's attention. Featuring a fun and original gameplay and free of any microtransactions, Morphies Law brings forth an enjoyable multiplayer experience for up to eight players. Where it fails to impress is on the amount of content (or lack thereof) and limitations on its multiplayer component, which harm the game's long term potential.

    There’s a lot of promise to Morphies Law, but there’s also a lot of frustration for the ways it fails to meet this promise. As you play it, you find yourself noticing more and more things that feel like they should be there to help you enjoy what the developer came up with, but it’s not there, so it winds up feeling empty, lifeless, and unclear as to what you’re doing. A cool idea will get you partway there, but without the right follow-through, it just winds up being a game you’re not interested in playing much longer.
