I’ve never understood the hype around Funko Po👍ps. The only one I&rsquo💟;ve ever owned myself was a Christmas gift, and I missed the opportunity to Pop! Myself at San Diego Comic Con this year, but alas, I’ve watched the brand expand massively in recent years, to the point where most pop culture stores are lined with the dead-eyed monstrosities.
Their expressionless faces and beady eyes have seldom sat right with me, but I’m far from oblivious to their monstrous popularity. The number of them at my local big box store is almost too daunting to even begin digging through, even if I did care to find that one special figurine. So I’ve left them behind. That is, until 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Funko Fusion came knocking.
Funko Fusion💖 Isꦅ Proof That None Of Us Are Immune To The Powers Of Nostalgia
I'm excited to see th꧅ese stories in Funko form, even if the game isn't that great...
I got my first taste of the licensed IP maelstrom at San Diego Comic Con last month, where Funko had a presence far too large to possibly understate. With multiple boo♉ths on the show floor and plenty of events happening off-sඣite, you couldn’t miss them.
My hands-on experience with Funko Fusion began at a gory yet cutesy gathering to celebrate Shaun of the Dead’s 20th anniversary, a movie I loved when my emo phase timed out too well with the cultural comeback of zombies in popular culture. Playing a level dedicated to the beloved British flick was a blast, but more recently I was able to dive into a new build that lasted for several hours.This began with an all-new stage dedicated to Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park. Funko Fusion features two different kinds of worlds: full-size worlds like Jurassic Park are much larger in scale and feature entire adventures, while cameo worlds are smaller levels within those larger worlds. Shaun of the Dead is a cameo level, while Jurassic Park🎉 is full-sized. The difference b൩etween the two was palpable as soon as I loaded in.
In Funko Fusion, you run, jump, and dodge your w🦋ay through the world to find hidden treasures and collect enough Vinyl, the in-game currency, to revive at the nearest Funko box if you happen to die mid-fight. If you’re able to sneak away from the action when you’re hurt, knocking back a bottle of strikingly green soda replenishes your health, letting you get back to the action. You have stylish melee attacks as well as a ranged weapon for each character, able to shoot from the hip in quickfire situations or zoom in for a sighted shot with better precision.
I found myself enjoying the Jurassic Park world a little less than Shaun of the Dead, which I think might just be because I knew the movie it was based on. I understood the references, the characters meant something to me, and getting the lay of ๊the land came easily. As someone who’s never seen the Jurassic Park movies, a lot of what was happening went over my head – why are the park security guards shooting at me, and why did they kidnap a lady we seemed excited to see when we got there? I imagine a Jurassic Park fan would know, but I kind of just ran with the idea as best I could as I navigated the massive overworld.
Funko Fusion is functionally very similar to the Lego titles from Travellers Tales, which for years have traded on adapting popular IP into pick-up-a𝔉nd-play adventures. This is just like that, but with far more crossovers to delve into.
But as the game tells you when you first load into a menu stylized as a pristinely manicured shelf of in-box Funko figures, “Everyone is a fan of something.” Sure, the happenings in the Jurassic Park world didn’t click for me, but I already know th🌠ere are several other things that will – I enjoyed Shaun of the Dead, I see Scott Pilgrim in the list of featured properties, and I’m sure I’ll find more cameo levels tucked away that’ll keep me plenty satisfied.
Otherwise, Funko Fusion is great fun to play. You’ll take control of more than 60 different characters from a laundry list of IP as you set off to fight the game’s main villain, Eddy, an evil version of Funko’s brand mascot, Freddy. His power of corruption covers creatures in a bright purple goop and turns them against you, pitting you against monstrous creatures and corrupted Funko♈ figurines. Being a Funko doll that’s fighting a skeletal version of a character who was my friend just a few minutes prior was oddly jarring in ways I👍 didn’t expect from a game this colorful and cartoonish.
But some of the team over at 1010 Games told me that the goal was to use violence such as this wherever it made sense, and though I expected something like Shaun of the Dead to be grizzly, everything else was kind of a surprise. Funko Fusion hꩵas a lot of different properties in its boiling cauldron that are a mixture of horror, comedy, sci-fi, and adventure, so it will be interesting to see how well they all meld together.
The full game will see th𓆉e inclusion of tons more playable characters, more worlds of both sizes, four-player multiplayer, and the ability to bring characters from one world into ♛another. I’ve already enjoyed the sampling I’ve had of Funko Fusion, and even if I didn’t pick up on all the destructive dino references, 10:10 has definitely got me hungry for more.
