Ahead of season 2 of Squid Game on Netflix, the company has released the mobile game Squid Game: Unleashed on Android and the iPhone.
In Squid Game, schoolyard games are turned into nightmares, as players compete to survive and — if they’re lucky — earn a massive cash prize. But in Unleashed, a new mobile spinoff that’s part of the streamer’s fledgling gaming efforts, those games are fun. It’s a strange experience that sands off much of the appeal of Squid Game in service of making a multiplayer party game. Unleashed is sort of like Fall Guys but in a Squid Game wrapper.
It simply slows you down in a race to be one of a pre-determined number of players to cross the finish line and move on. Similarly, the games can all be completed in a few minutes. This is great for playing short sessions on the go; being stuck in a 30 minute multiplayer match on your phone typically sucks. But when you put elements like the short run time and respawning together it, completely erases any of the tension that’s so core to Squid Game’s appeal.
