Based on a demo at SummerGameFest, GlitchBusters is shaping up to be a weird and wonderful four-player co-op game.
Despite its small library of games, the Nintendo 64 has its fair share of hidden gems. That’s especially true of its multiplayer collection, which contains a host of bizarre and charming split-screen titles. Those kinds of local multiplayer experiences are harder to come by in the age of online play, but Glitch Busters: Stuck On You might just scratch that itch.
Stuck on you In Glitch Busters, up to four players move through a colorful computer world inspired by the visual language of emojis . At a very basic level, it’s a third-person shooter where each player controls a pint-sized emoji face with magnets for legs. I spent my demo blasting colorful gunk and viruses while traversing a surreally constructed digital world.
My favorite co-op hook, though, is that all four players can stand on top of one another to form a totem pole. At several points, I’d jump on the top of an emoji stack, safely shooting enemies as my teammates handled movement. Like any good multiplayer game, there’s potential for trolling too. If a friend jumps on your head, you can toss them off at any time — a powerful tool I will absolutely misuse to annoy my pals. I especially like the game’s teamwide perk system. Whenever a team can get a buff, the screen goes to a quick team vote. Players have a few seconds to vote on which of two perks the team will get for the rest of the level, like extra health.
