I didn't have the game on my radar, so I was…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mutropolis is a lovely point & click adventure that stands out through its top-notch graphics, voice acting and humour. It’s a fantastic love letter to the old-school titles of this genre, while keeping things fresh through a unique, modern and gripping story. After a cataclysm that happened 3000 years ago, humanity fled to Mars. Now, in year 5000, a team of archeologists and scientists came back to Earth to find the legendary Mutropolis - a lost city believed to be a source of many treasures,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is in SEVERE need of an autosave feature, at least in between chapters. Also its not possible to override save files, you need to manually delete the save, then save the new one (or create a separate save). This caused me to lose all my progress and jump from almost reaching the end of the game, back to the very beginning If you plan to buy this game, please go ahead, its fun an kept me engaged for a while, just be sure to constantly save like its your final essay and theres an…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's not that this game is bad, it's cute, nice sense of humor, but the fact that there isn't a built in hint system to kinda of give player a poke in the right direction pretty much means that some players will just end up aimlessly click on everything and figure out the solution without feeling like they earned it. On top of that, after only 2.5 hours I din't feel like I got far or done that much and got lost so many times that I just got bored with this game. In hindsight, I probably…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The story and voice acting are okay. It looks nice, but the puzzles... The puzzles are awful. I wouldn't even call most of them puzzles, it's just brute forcing your way through the game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The graphics is cute and colorful, and the game does follow the classic point-and-click adventure genre, but the overall story feels a bit superficial and nonsensical at one point. Wished there was a hint system, because some of the puzzles are not very clear as to the objective (especially the part where we play as the robot, that was a NIGHTMARE to figure out without a walkthrough), to the point where you had to guess the answer and just try everything on every object possible. The game tried…

unlabelledView post →Very well made point & click adventure game with a unique story and lots of puzzles. You are an archaeologist in the distant future. Humanity left earth millenia ago and visits mostly for studying the past. The game starts on an archaeological dig back on earth but your studies are cut short when something unexpected happens. Back on Mars you and your colleagues do everything you can to get back to Earth and find out what happened. Mutropolis does almost everything right. The storyline is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Art style was really nice, I like the characters too. The story is not bad, but I think the end of the story was funny. It was too long for a point & click and it bored me. The save system is so bad that I didn't enjoy the game much, worrying about clicking in the wrong place and doing a wrong action and not being able to do the achievements. It shouldn't be that hard to put autosave these games and divide by chapters and we can come back again. In the fog part, the game got buggy and I had to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's the year 5000 and you're back on a post-apocalyptic Earth, after humanity left for Mars thousands of years ago. As an archaeologist, you want to recover knowledge about the Earth that has been lost in all that time. One day, during an excavation, you and your colleagues come across a clue to Mutropolis, a lost legendary city. However, because of this find, trouble is just around the corner. Suddenly, a colleague of yours is kidnapped and from now on, you're on a rescue mission to save him.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well, it sounded like fun, but to be honest it wasn't. I gave up after 3h because the puzzles are strange (I never knew hat I have to do) and the story wasn't as captivating as expected. I didn't care about the character's fate. Sorry :(
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Irritating & Tedious !!! The graphics are nice and the voice acting is not too bad. BUT ... The dialogue is sooooo verbose. Constant inane comments that come off as failed attempts at humour, they added nothing to the story. I got fed up with the going back and forth for petty actions, it really dragged the story out. Some of the actions just don't make sense so I had to look at a guide. I normally like these types of point & click games but this one just did not appeal.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was pretty good through Act 2. Kind of tedious overall. Way too much slow moving dialogue that wasn't all that interesting. All the main characters are pretty boring and some of the more minor side characters are pretty annoying. But good puzzles and reasonable flow to the story. Kind of a 3 star effort through Act 2. But towards the end of Act 2 a character is introduced that is so incredibly idiotic and takes the whole, up to that point, sort of realistic sci fi world and story in…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Looks pretty, voice acting is decent. The plot though isn't interesting, the dialogs are boring and the attempts of the game to be funny... To me it felt like watching some program for children. Would maybe recommend it for lower ages but there are other reviews mentioning inappropriate content. I did not see anything regarding that, but I also quit the game after 80 minutes. Just wasn't worth the time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mediocre, puzzles are mostly trial and error, or simple but tedious, game assets are all stock, animations are simple. Actually I would not even care about that if the story was good. Obra Dinn was the best game I played the year it came out and it didnt look great. So in this case Id say, the story and gameplay was boring. So I started noticing the rest not being very good either. And then I just now uninstalled it before finishing the last act even.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I loved this game, from the art work to the great story and characters! It's colorful, cute and funny without being too cutesy (was a slight concern of mine when I first saw the screenshots). The voice overs are very well done. Some goals are a bit challenging to figure out, but not unfair. There are manual saves and I experienced no glitches or tech issues. My play time of a little over 12 hours and the quality of the game made it well worth the price. I think this is a must play for all…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Read this review and others [url=https://www.indiecornergames.com/] here! Some titles have demos that allow us to have an opening window for a story that the producers are trying to tell in a short time. This is precisely what happened with me and Mutropolis. My first contact with this title was at Gamescom last year (2020). Mutropolis is a point & click story with sci-fi outlines, presented by the Spanish studio Pirita Studio and with the finger of Application Systems Heidelberg as a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mutropolis is fine. It's a point and click adventure game. The graphics are acceptable. The music is unobtrusive. The voice acting is good enough for what the actors had to go on. The problem is that the script and the storyline in general doesn't give them much. It seems like a really rich and exciting concept - a distant future where archaeologists dig up what's left of present-day Earth - but the setting is never really explored in a meaningful way. The running joke is that the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Why are there not more games like this? This is a warm, positive game that still provides excitement and adventure, and stands out against the backdrop of the many dystopian point/click adventure games that clog the Steam store. I live in a country with raging income inequality, a self-serving and ineffectual government, and a steadily decreasing quality of life. Why would I want to be reminded of this during my playtime? I suspect conceptual development of dystopias is cheap and easy --…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →great. you will get stuck a lot
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have just finished Mutropolis, and I loved it. Mutropolis is a an extremely funny game, but it's organically funny, and manages to keep you laughing without being over-reliant on jokes or references. I'm not even sure it's intended to be a full-on comedy, but it's a very humorous game. In this traditional point and click adventure set in the far future, humanity has died out on earth but is thriving on Mars. You are a Martian archaeologist on a team that explores earth, looking for old…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wish I could give this a neutral review rather than a negative. It's not quite good enough for a positive. I like the art and the voices, but the puzzles are too convoluted and too much backtracking. Play this with a walkthrough handy.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A good game! A fun cast of characters, a memorable art style, and a forgivable amount of 'oh forget this, I'm going to find a walkthrough' type puzzles. They are still present, but if you don't go into a point and click game of this style expecting to be totally confused from time to time I'm not sure you're doing the genre properly. As an archaeologist myself I especially appreciated and enjoyed seeing the discipline represented realistically, wild speculations about the purpose of items and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →They should have added a proper notebook feature because more often than not, you forget what you were doing and what you were supposed to do. Keeping track of the objectives can become tedious especially during act two. Basically, the game could use an QoL overhaul. Still, it has just enough quality in other aspects to warrant a thumbs up as an point and click adventure game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a magnificent point and click adventure game with the funniest comments and superior graphics. I don't want it to end!!! Best game to keep you occupied with the world on lockdown. Es el mejor juego para bajar el mal rollo de la pandemia. Para todos los amantes de la arqueología y del dibujo Mutropolis es una pasada de bonito, qué ganas de ver más trabajos de Pirita Studio!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mutropolis is a very cute game with beautiful visuals and a good story. It's feels like an old fashioned adventure game. The gameplay ideas are not groundbreaking, but it still feels fresh and engaging. The visuals are very nice and the english voice acting is solid. So far, some of the puzzles were easy, but they got more and more challenging as i played. There were a few times where I had to go back and forth a bit to find what I had to do, but it felt like actually trying to find clues, not…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Seems like a good rather old-school Point & Click adventure with pretty visuals and great voice acting, but at least the Linux version doesn't seem quite stable yet (update below). The first time I tried starting the game, it appeared windowed, and switching to fullscreen froze the entire PC completely (had to turn it off). The second time, I got fullscreen view but the language was set to Portuguese (?). A few more tries went fine, but tabbing out of the game with ALT+TAB doesn't work so I…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly, the puzzles seem very disjointed and even after finding hints, often leave me thinking "I never would've got that" instead of a "damn, how come I didn't think of that?!" Managed to make my way through most of the "2nd act", and wasn't feeling any enjoyment out of it
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this is a cute point and click adventure game, although it started too feel a little too repetitive / boring at some point, I just finished it to finish it. But maybe I am the problem and I got fed up with point and clicks.. I am not sure.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A lot of backtracking and no real puzzles. The story also left something to be desired.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice story concept and artwork. The length of the game is just right too, not too long, and not too short. Well, maybe a little bit on the short side, but not short enough for me to complain. The puzzles are not hard to solve due to the clues are easy to spot and we can almost instantly know what to do with the items we found, which is a good design imo. However the difficulty could be a plus or minus point depending on your own requirement on puzzle difficulty in adventure point and click…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I definitely recommend this game. A point and click adventure game worth of this name! You can clearly see that every detail is very well polished. Story, graphics, puzzles, interactions. I loved the idea of archeology applied at items of our time. I enjoyed reading the (often wrong) archeologist interpretations of many of them Keep up the great work!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →LOVED the game. Cried at the end. TO CATALOG! Amazing story and gameplay
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a beautiful game with an awesome story! It takes me back to the point-and-click adventures of my childhood. Treat yourself to some charming characters and cheeky puzzles!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A charming and well-crafted point-and-click adventure in the spirit of the classic LucasArts games. Mutropolis is fully-voiced, which is a nice surprise from a smaller-studio adventure game. The humor and characters are solid, and the puzzles difficulty seems just about right. I only got stuck a couple of times, and in general the solutions make sense (no random "rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle" here, but plenty of silliness to go around). I wholeheartedly recommend Mutropolis to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I did not like the demo, but I decided to give the full version of Mutropolis a go. And I'm SO GLAD I DID What a great point-and-click game. I even got stuck a couple of times (that darn safe puzzle), so you know it's challenging. A big YES from me!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am loving this game. It is hilarious, smart, with endearing characters, very well-made environments and super beautiful graphics. The puzzles are challenging but they make always sense, and the story is so funny and gets you hooked in. Also, I like so much the sounds and soundtrack, they really get you into the game. I definitely recommend it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you are a fan of the classical type point and click adventure then this game is for you. Great atmosphere and a story well told. Voice acting on point. Many funny moments. Puzzles sometimes hard but most of the time really cool.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a lovely game. Very much in the traditional style of a point and click game. Enjoying the characters and the humor.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cute game, well done, but you can't get very far without a walkthrough.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very charming and funny story and dialog add to the challenging puzzles!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really great Adventure Point-and-Click. Story-line is super interesting (couple of little "woke" digs but barely noticeable). I really enjoyed it, and have put the creators on my follow list because of this game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Has content inappropriate for children and teenagers.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A really nice game! It is funny at times. It has a lot of puzzles of an adequate level of difficulty, although they are quite illogical occasionally. It has a very interesting storyline. There are a few memorable characters and its art style is very beautiful. All in all, a great experience! Good job, developers! Till next time, don't forget to point & click!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I very much enjoyed this game! What a fun thought and take on the future if we went to Mars and left Earth behind! There was a lot of commentary and jokes that made me laugh. All the characters were rather lovable, and I thoroughly enjoyed the quirky art style. I was very grateful for the walkthrough that I could easily access while playing the game to fill in what I couldn't figure out, as there were a few parts in all three acts where I personally struggled with figuring out how to make what…

As I said above the puzzle design is mostly fine…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Decent point-and-click that falls short of others that came before it. Looks nice, tries to capture the feeling of old LucasArts games but doesn't quite deliver. Some of the puzzles are strange and the characters can get quite annoying with their verbose dialogue. I would give this a "Maybe" recommendation if I could. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3wapL3GUAw

The only way to get rid of it all was to bury it, and then some archaeologist went and dug it all up.” – Karl Pilkington Mutropolis is a new point-and-click adventure game by two-person team, Pirata Games.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun, charming and with a beautiful art!! Music super chill.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is really excellent. Somewhere between Thimbleweed Park and Jenny LeClue in terms of tone, humor, etc. Great art. Good voice acting. Very funny. Puzzles on the hard side, but always reasonable. Only misstep (and it's a very minor one) is that some of the sound effects in scripted scenes are a bit off (in 2 or 3 scenes the footsteps sound weird). But like I said, that's a very minor fault and it's a great game. Excellent value at $20. Play it if you like point-and-click games at all.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mutropolis was a really good point and click adventure game. Really liked the characters and artstyle used.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Such an exceptional Adventure! A must play for all Point n Click Adventure fans. I first heard about the game 2 weeks before the release and I fell in love with the art style and what the game promised through the Trailer. As a huge Point n Click Adventure Game fan I always look for these type of games and Mutropolis definitely delivered. At first the game might look a bit unfinished due to the chosen art style but as you keep playing it will be obvious that it was intended by the developers…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is so cute and the world-building is intense. I loved this game's take on history and thought the characters were fun and fairly fleshed out. I really enjoyed the art style and the movements reminded me of old flash games. This is absolutely a point and click worth your time!
