  Overall, Hextech Mayhem is a good step for Riot to continue letting other developers experiment with their IP. The difficulty can spike unfairly at times and the rarer items require a bit too much trial and error to get behind, but it’s a solid diversion at its price point. I just wish Choice Provisions had taken a bigger (or riskier) swing for their auto-runner to give genre fans something to really dig into.

  Ultimately, there isn’t much to Hextech Mayhem, and that doesn’t necessarily have to be a bad thing. As a smaller budget game, the rhythm mechanics are decent enough, and once you unlock Full Action Mode the problems with freestyle mayhem completely disappear.

  That’s pretty good! I mostly just wish it was bigger; because if it was, it would be able to expand its firm foundation and take things to the next level. That said, the ease of access of Hextech Mayhem ensures that if you’re coming off of Arcane, you can immerse yourself in the League world with a lot less strife than the MOBA.

  While Hextech Mayhem: A League of Legends Story provides a great experience in short bursts, none of its levels feel as replayable as the best of the developer's past work or the best of the rhythm genre. This is a fatal flaw in a game with gated progression, and there are no supplementary modes or other features to distract from it. As it stands, the game's mix of mobile mechanics makes its release on traditional platforms baffling, and only those who are immediately intrigued by Ziggs in a game outside of League of Legends will get something substantial out of the final product in its current available forms.

  Hextech Mayhem is still a shockingly fun title to just kill an evening with. It's not long, it's barely challenging, but it is inherently enjoyable, and in my eyes that is a huge win for one of the first spinoff titles coming from Riot's publishing division Riot Forge.

  Despite these qualms, I mostly enjoyed my time with Hextech Mayhem: A League of Legends Story. There are definite issues I have with it as a rhythm platformer, and these make it a bit of a slog to play through in long sessions. However, for short bursts, there’s little I can ultimately fault it for. If you’re already a League of Legends fan looking for a different sort of experience, it’s hard not to recommend Hextech Mayhem, though it may be a slightly tougher sell otherwise.

  La mayor decepción se encuentra en su presentación. Pese a ser un juego de ritmo, el soundtrack es muy débil, repetitivo, y solo logra funcionar como acompañante del gameplay. Visualmente, el juego cumple al ofrecer una representación única de Runeterra, pero la falta de variedad termina por arruinar esta aventura y la vuelve más monótona de lo que ya es. Al final del día, los fans de League of Legends y los juegos de ritmo estarán contentos con Hextech Mayhem: A League of Legends Story, y para el resto del público, bueno, hay peores formas de gastar el dinero.

  Un endles runner con ritmo musical y personajes de LoL. Los creadores de Bit.Trip Beat tiran de piloto automático para un juego que puede entretener porque dominan el género, pero no es su mejor trabajo.

  Hextech Mayhem est un plateformer rythmique sympa mais qui pêche justement sur sa partie musicale, dommage. A jouer pour profiter de l'univers étendu de Runeterra (LoL, Arcane, etc.)

  Néophytes du genre rythmique, Hextech Mayhem : A League of Legends Story devrait représenter pour vous un sérieux défi. Les amateurs de scoring trouveront leur compte dans cette expérience exigeante qui ne mange pas de pain et qui s’apprécie volontiers lors de courtes sessions musicales. Dommage que le surplus d’informations à l’écran et que le manque d’ergonomie des commandes entachent l’expérience. Ce dernier souci pourrait néanmoins être rapidement corrigé en attribuant la possibilité de modifier les commandes.
