What a great game that sadly does not exist on the app store anymore. I played this on my iPod Touch.
Man, the early 2010s were really the peak of mobile gaming. The F2P model hadn’t yet totally dominated the marketplace, so you could pay $6.99 for experiences like this that are still technologically impressive today and aren’t burdened with energy systems or locked content designed to aggressively lure you into buying microtransactions. Gameloft in particular were churning out some bangers back then and their Spider-Man titles were especially solid.
Total Mayhem is a brawler with some fun combat and outstanding visuals for the hardware. I honestly can’t think of any modern app I’ve seen over the last few years that has had this much effort put into their level design. Now, admittedly the basic enemy types don’t provide much of a threat so the simplicity of the standard encounters can cause things to get a little button-mashy and dull unless you’re playing on the higher difficulties. As a result, I got far more out of the occasional platforming segments stages sometimes offer up, which add an appreciated bit of variety. The real star of the show though are undoubtedly the boss battles. These thrilling clashes against a host of familiar faces from the web-head’s iconic rogues gallery are grand, exciting, introduce their own unique mechanics, and can be quite challenging. They alone are worth hunting this down for.
It’s a shame that hunting it down is what you’ll legitimately have to resort to, as this is another unfortunate victim of cellular tech’s constant, rapid evolution. Like so many gems before and sadly also after it, this has been pulled from all digital storefronts so there’s no conventional means of getting your hands on it. Instead you’ll have to risk scouring shady sites for a safe, modded secondhand APK. A process that proved more troublesome than usual for yours truly, because even when I finally managed to find an APK that didn’t immediately crash on my device at the main menu there was no sound during the actual gameplay! Luckily, that ended up not being a huge issue, as based on some YouTube videos I looked up afterwards it turns out the voice acting is… um… not great…
While the game is definitely coasting by pretty hard on the strength of “wow, I can’t believe I can play this ON MY PHONE!” it’s still worth a look for the wall-crawler’s hardcore fans. Certainly those such as myself who stumbled onto its existence long after it had been removed from the App Store/Google Play and have been curious about what they missed ever since. The moment-to-moment action which makes up the bulk of the adventure won’t blow you away and is perhaps made too easy by your overpowered spider-sense letting you get out of the way of regular damage in an instant, but upgrading your abilities with orbs God of War-style and collectible artwork to uncover will keep you entertained until you reach the next big supervillain fight. Honestly, the worst thing it has going against it may be that it’s based on those awful “Ultimate” comics. Yuck…
7.5/10
