The reveal of what Mutropolis actually is – and how it ties into the archaeological theme – is rather clever, and what small bugs there are (such as repeating lines of dialogue) are merely annoying rather than game-breaking. This is a charming debut that captures some of the integral spark that makes the genre so beloved, and for that reason alone it is easy to recommend
Josh @ FG: Mutropolis is a sci-fi point and click adventure, but does this one really click? The Finger Guns Review.
Mutropolis is a very enjoyable point-and-click indie game with plenty of twists, turns, and jokes that’ll make all but the most jaded of gamers happy. It has a great story to tell that is both unique and memorable - just make sure you have a walkthrough handy.
Imagine the future 3000 years from now. Do you see Earth as the centre of a galaxy-spanning human race? Tech so advanced that our biggest issues are now a trifle to deal with? Historical records so accurate that our descendants will be able to experience how we live now? Hold those thoughts. Everything the developers of Mutropolis have envisioned is basically the opposite of that. Instead, in this point and click puzzler Earth is abandoned following a cataclysmic event, humans have been living on Mars for 3000 years, and the historical records leave a great deal to be desired.
