Coming from developer Mommy’s Best Games and publisher Null Games, ChainStaff is a brutal action-platformer with a transforming spear and grappling hook, blazing weapon upgrades, and a rocking soundtrack. The game is confirmed to release this fall 2025 on PC, Mac, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
“Prepare yourselves for heart-pounding heavy metal tracks and fast-paced, slippery combat against some of the weirdest half-alien, half-animal hybrids out there. Maybe even consider eating some brains, as a treat.”
Our planet is under attack from the Star Spores, who warp life on Earth into ferocious uber-bugs. Even worse, a nasty alien has made its new home directly attached to your head. However, it’s also given you a chance to fight back with control over a weapon that can tip the balance in your favor: the ChainStaff.
ChainStaff – Key Features:
- Master the ChainStaff – Hurl it as a spear and slice aliens in half. Throw it to the ground as a shield to stop incoming attacks. Grapple and swing on just about anything.
- You Died – Pounded to mush, stabbed through the heart, sheared in two. Prepare to meet your doom in a myriad of disgusting ways.
- Ferocious Foes – The creatures of Earth have been mutated by aliens: you’ll come across dozens of unusual creatures, and once you get past those, you’ll have to fight against screen-filling monstrosities.
- Grotesque Upgrades – Stranded soldiers dot the landscape of ChainStaff. You have to choose whether to rescue them or devour their organs; each option has unique benefits and will lead to different endings.
- 10 Wild Levels – Fully hand-drawn art immerses you in a living world inspired by album covers of the 70s and 80s.
- Killer Soundtrack – Scorching riffs and peals of thunder. Pumping beats drive you ever forward.
