[PlayStation 5] Mostroscopy Analysis | PS4Blog.net

Oh man, where to even start with Mostroscopy, huh? This wild ride from Seashell Studio and Oribe Ware Games is, like, a monster mashup kinda fighting game on PS5. The vibe totally screams Mexican horror and those old 1950s Luchador flicks — you know, the kind that would have me staying up way past my bedtime as a kid. Anyway, think of it as a cocktail of Smash Bros and Street Fighter x Tekken. Yeah, for real.

Story Mode hooks you right in, letting you dig into each character’s backstory. And if you’re in the mood to punch some digits — or real people, no judgment, maybe — Versus Mode is your jam. Then there’s Training Mode for those who like to, um, plan their punches? Or like, figure out combos so smooth it’ll feel like butter on warm toast.

Oh! Challenge Mode, haha, that thing will really put your thumbs through a workout — talking from experience here. Got sidetracked just tapping buttons. And while you’re at it, why not vibe a bit in the Jukebox with the game’s tunes?

The controls? Not too crazy, but kinda precise, if that’s a thing. Left stick or D-Pad for movement; up to jump — that makes sense, right? – and R2 to guard. Square’s your go-to for basic attacks, but Triangle’s got the special moves sorted out. Press it neutral or toss in a direction — makes ya feel strategic, honestly. And hey, taunting with the X button? Always a fun time.

Special attacks? They’re like those secret, fancy recipes, y’know? You can charge ’em up, make ’em more powerful. Though, don’t expect anything wild from a jumping special — can’t charge those. But when you do charge, it’s like a mini firework of class in your gaming move. Speaking of flashy, once the special bar fills up, bam! Mostro Mode. Suddenly, everything’s just… super. It’s like adrenaline, but pixelated.

Now, trophy lovers, listen up. There’s a Platinum trophy hiding out there, among 14 Bronze, 20 Silver, and a couple of Golds. You gotta run the gamut with characters like La Mujer Vampiro and El Charro Negro. Oh, and try 10 local versus bouts — perfect for when the Wi-Fi’s acting up, huh? Counterattack ten times too. Easy? Eh, maybe.

It’s this chaotic blend of monsters, moves, and… whatever else I just rambled about, that makes Mostroscopy a thing. Mexican monsters tossin’ punches in shiny pixels. It’s on PS5 and, frankly, it’s a wild trip.

Catch ya later, unless I’m stuck in Mostro Mode indefinitely. (Seriously, where does the time go?)
