Humanity is under attack, Earth has been overrun by monstrous mutations, and there’s an alien attached to your head. Welcome to ChainStaff, an explosive old-school action platformer from Mommy’s Best Games, coming physically to PlayStation 5. Fight through hand-crafted levels, master a transforming alien weapon, and decide just how far you’re willing to go to save the planet and yourself.

At the heart of the action is the ChainStaff, a powerful transforming weapon that can instantly adapt to the situation. Use it to stab and spear enemies, shield yourself from danger, grapple across deadly terrain, and swing into otherwise unreachable areas. And when the ChainStaff isn’t enough, an arsenal of guns and other weapons will help you tear through the mutated hordes.

Fight your way across large, hand-crafted environments filled with deadly creatures, relentless enemies, and colossal Star Spores, all accompanied by a hard-hitting heavy metal and classic rock-inspired soundtrack from award-winning composer Deon van Heerden.

Your choices are just as important as your combat skills. Stranded soldiers are scattered throughout the world, leaving you with a difficult decision: rescue your comrades or harvest them for powerful upgrades. The path you choose affects your progression and can ultimately lead to different endings.Features
