UglyDolls: An Imperfect Adventure

UglyDolls: An Imperfect Adventure is a fun action adventure game based on the UglyDolls animation license. In this production you can also find logical puzzles and randomly generated content. The game was created by Outright Games (Ben 10, Hotel Transylvania 3: Monsters Overboard, Adventure Time: Pirates of the Enchiridion), Whitespace Entertainment and STX Entertainment

Plot

UglyDolls: An Imperfect Adventure takes place in the universe created for the UglyDolls film. The city of Uglyville is besieged by a gang of inoperative robots who accidentally get there from Perfection. Players assume the roles of the heroic Moxy and Ox, who with the help of their UglyDolls try to fight off the threat.

Mechanics

In UglyDolls: An Imperfect Adventure players observe the in-game world from different perspectives, but most often from the third person perspective. Players control Moxy or Ox, but during the game they also meet many of their crazy friends, such as Babo, Ice Bat, Wage, and Ugly Dog.

The game created by Outright Games is about exploring the 3D environment and placing traps to catch the robots roaming around the city of Uglyville - this usually requires coping with simple logical challenges. When fighting the enemies players can use items that can be both found and created.

UglyDolls: An Imperfect Adventure offers randomly generated levels (they look similar in terms of the visuals, but the street layout changes). As the game progresses, players also discover new locations featuring different styles - thanks to that, despite a certain repeatability and relative simplicity in the mechanical layer, the game does not become too monotonous.

Game modes

In UglyDolls: An Imperfect Adventure we can only play alone or with others. The game offers a story campaign as well as the local, two-players cooperative mode.

Technical aspects

UglyDolls: An Imperfect Adventure has an interesting graphic design that creatively combines 2D and 3D elements. The locations are designed in full 3D, but the characters moving around them resemble two-dimensional images taken out of the cartoon. The whole thing makes a good impression and is bound to appeal to younger players in particular.
