MINDWAVE

GAME INFO

MINDWAVE is a Mental Challenge Game similar to the Mythical WarioWare and full of Microgames!

Mindwave is a mental challenge game that is gaining popularity by leaps and bounds and its proposal is very original, with a great job behind, besides being very addictive. This is an independent project launched on Kickstarter.

WarioWare fans will be reminded a lot of the type of gameplay but this time with very accomplished characters and some microgames in which you really enjoy. In this review we are ready to make an exhaustive analysis and how you can download and play it for free (Demo)… Let's get started!

 

In a dystopian near future, you find yourself in Blackout City, where the headquarters of Mindscape is located, the company that created the most popular cognitive reality game of the moment: Mindwave.

In Mindwave, players from all over the planet come together to interconnect their brains and compete in delirious mental tests, where feelings and visions mix.

In this curious game you will take the role of the protagonist, a girl with a rather bad temper, but willing to achieve her long-awaited dream: to win the mental championship… at all costs!

To advance through the Mindscape headquarters you will have to climb up the building (the Mindscape Tower), where you will have to accept numerous challenges in the form of really entertaining microgames.

Having overcome each challenge, more will be waiting for you, as you go up one floor at a time. In the style of a visual novel or graphic adventure, you will be able to interact with other players before each challenge.

You will find from musical challenges to microgames of reflexes and skill. It really shows a lot of ingenuity of the developer of this game, where with each advance it becomes more and more difficult to reach victory.

The speed of each microgame can be increasing to insane levels, but don't worry, because you will be learning little by little. The Mindwave demo, in its first levels, will teach you step by step with tutorials.

This visual marvel (artistic and psychedelic) is joined by a very successful soundtrack, which adds rhythm and makes the game mechanics more dizzying. But that's not all: you can share your scores with friends for good who is the best.

In short, we think that Mindwave is a real discovery and it is sure to be a well-received game for the character design, aesthetics, story, microgames, it has everything in favor. What are you waiting for to access the official demo? Do you want to know how?

Pros and Cons

The best thing about this game: the characters, the graphics, the music, the frantic microgames.

The worst: sometimes some microgames can go very fast (too much).
