Goons: Legends and Mayhem Preview – A hilarious ice-capade
09.02.2024 - 09:35 / thesixthaxis.com
Imagine a world where ice hockey was a central part of your country, where everything revolves around it. So it is in the magical land of Zambonia, where everyone lives, breathes and plays ice hockey. It’s the setting for Goons: Legends and Mayhem, part arcade sports, part beat-em-up, and part exploration game, mixing together traditional ice hockey with challenges and boss battles.
In the demo build of Goons: Legends and Mayhem, you are introduced to two of the main characters that you control on this adventure. They are the wizard Brazier and the warrior Helmwing, who witness their land of Zambonia become overrun by the evil magic of The Great Mascoteer. This has turned inhabitants and vehicles into minions that use hockey as a way to try and conquer the city.
As Brazier and Helmwing, you set off on a quest to first fix Helmwing’s vehicle, which looks like it will later be used to navigate around the world of Zambonia. Along this quest, you are introduced to the basics of Goons: Legends and Mayhem’s gameplay. The first is movement with the characters ice skating along the levels, with the movement being really smooth and reactive which bodes well for the main release. You are also taught about coins and the infinite pucks you have. Coins are dotted along your path, as well as hidden in boxes and other fixtures. This is where the infinite pucks come in. You can fire them pretty haphazardly but they will automatically go towards the nearest target, if there is a target in range. You will also be using the pucks to solve puzzles in the environment to open up paths and complete challenges, and will require you to switch between characters.
There are a few enemy types that make an appearance in the demo. The first are like basic melee attackers that try and whack you with their hockey sticks, followed by those armed with bazookas to attack from range. The third type have grenade heads which explode when they get close to your characters. The demo finishes up with a boss battle that is a giant ice truck in a hockey rink which requires precise shots using power shots. These shots lot you manually aim at where you want to hit a target. The bosses have weak spots that you need to target.
Goons: Legends and Mayhem could shape up to be a really fun take on a sports based action adventure game, with a some very good humour. The gameplay has promise using ice hockey as the premise, with already some very good movement and at least two main characters that do bounce off each other (and enemies). Keep an eye on this one, sports fans.

Spaceman gave Adam Sandler a new skill: ‘I never cried in front of a tennis ball before’
After Paul Thomas Anderson’s Punch-Drunk Love, after Noah Baumbach’s The Meyerowitz Stories (New And Selected), after Jason Reitman’s Men, Women & Children and the Safdie brothers’ Uncut Gems, film fans must be used to the idea of Adam Sandler as a comedian willing to step into dramatic roles. But they still haven’t seen him give a performance like the one he delivers in Netflix’s new science fiction movie Spaceman. His character, Czech astronaut Jakub Procházka, is painfully introverted, emotionally repressed, and above all, quiet. Sandler’s dramatic roles have mostly been about energy — sometimes restless, barely contained, often aggressive energy. Jakub is so muted and compressed, he seems like a trauma victim.

Brandon Sanderson will bring his next project to Kickstarter competitor Backerkit
When Backerkit’s crowdfunding platform formally launched in mid-2023, the company quickly made strides in the tabletop space, primarily by courting disaffected Kickstarter users. Now co-founder and CEO Maxwell Salzberg tells Polygon that his company already has twice the number of tabletop campaigns committed to the platform in 2024 as it did for all of last year — which isn’t bad for what he calls a “bootstrapped” company. The goal for 2024? Keep the crowdfunding ball rolling while also managing its expansive pledge-management services.
