Morphies Law

Morphies Law is a multiplayer shooter game developed by independent German studio, Cosmoscope. Among other platforms, the game is available on PC and SWITCH.

Plot

In the PC and SWITCH release of Morphies Law, the plot plays a secondary role. The game takes players to a distant future, in which the humankind is but history. The only remnants of the human civilization are the buildings they have erected and the humanoid robots – the titular Morphies. A player assumes the role of such Morphy and engages in dynamic team matches governed by quite original rules.

Mechanics

In the PC and SWITCH release of Morphies Law, players get to observe the action from the third-person perspective (TPP). Similarly to many other multiplayer shooter games, in Morphies Law, players get to participate in dynamic team matches. What distinguishes the game described herein from other titles is the set of original rules governing the gameplay.

When shooting at a given adversary's body part, it is reduced, while the player's limb increases. This is well reflected in the gameplay balance (less skilled players are smaller, thus more difficult to hit) and in the possibilities opening before the players during the game. For example, a smaller robot can access previously unavailable locations; however, a machine with long legs can reach areas inaccessible for shorter machines. This develops the range of tactical options a player can take advantage of – sometimes it is worth considering taking some of the so-called "friendly fire" in order to adjust the size of your avatar to your current strategy.

The avatar of a team located above the battlefield reflects how the given team is performing on the battle – the size of the avatar shows directly how players within the team score. Of course, when the match is over, the team with a larger avatar wins.

Technical aspects

Morphies Law for PC and SWITCH delivers high-quality 3D visuals thanks to the utilization of Unreal Engine 4 technology. Apart from rich coloristic, players are bound to appreciate the polished models of battle droids. Also important is the fact, the robots' limbs change size in real time.
