Hextech Mayhem: A League of Legends Story for Windows

League of Legends spin-off rhythm game

Hextech Mayhem: A League of Legends Story is a rhythm-runner-style game developed by Choice Provisions. This game will challenge players to cause as much mayhem as possible by creating the biggest bomb. You can do so by making your character perform a series of jumps and attacks. The catch, you must stick to the game's rhythm music.

Hextech Mayhem is set in the League of Legends universe and even stars Ziggs as the protagonist and Heimerdinger as the antagonist. However, the similarity stops with the setting. This game will have completely different gameplay to the popular action game. 

What is the game about?

Hextech Mayhem: A League of Legends Story is a Patapon clone of League of Legends. However, instead of partaking in epic battles, you will be causing mayhem. Taking on the role of the Yordle Ziggs, you will aim to create the biggest bomb ever by doing bomb-jumps and bomb attacks. However, since this is a music rhythm game, you have to keep up with the beat of the background music.

The game takes you in the neighborhoods of Piltover, where bombs are set up, waiting for you to light their fuses to create an explosive chain reaction. However, there will also be obstacles blocking your way. Moreover, the no-fun-allowed Heimerdinger is on your heels, trying to stop you from achieving your goals. You have to outrun him and the fun police as you make your jumps.

As with its original game, expect an intricately detailed map in Hextech Mayhem. Even its surrounding background is visually appealing. The level designs will also be more challenging than your typical running games. However, prepare a high-performing computer to enjoy a smooth gaming experience. The full game patch requires a minimum of 6GB RAM and either a GeForce GTX 650  or a Radeon HD 7770 graphics driver.

Should you play it?

Hextech Mayhem: A League of Legends Story takes a new spin to the world of League of Legends. The game completely transformed the action game, turning its battle gameplay into a 2D rhythm runner. The mechanics are simple and typical of the games in the genre. However, it does not lack challenge as there are various obstacles and enemies on your way.
