ChainStaff PS5 Review: Brutal 80's Heavy Metal Action Platformer Worth Playing?

ChainStaff, developed by Mommy's Best Games (led by veteran Nathan Fouts, formerly of Insomniac Games) and published by Null Games, is a high-octane 2D action-platformer that channels the chaotic energy of 1980's sci-fi action flicks and heavy metal album art. Set in a world overrun by invasive "Star Spores," the game casts you as a soldier whose head has been hijacked by a parasitic alien, forcing you to wield a bizarre, transforming bony weapon called the ChainStaff to fight back against hordes of mutating monsters and reclaim Earth. It's a love letter to classics like Contra, blended with modern grappling-hook acrobatics and gory, over-the-top combat.

It's a clear spiritual successor to the "survivors-like" genre, but with a heavier emphasis on weapon collection and crafting.
