digitec plays "Goat of Duty": That's what we're in the mood for
by Philipp Rüegg
"Morphies Law" is a multiplayer shooter with a special twist. With every hit you land, the corresponding part of your body grows and you are easier to hit. Together with the Swiss developers and a few digitec users, we shoot ourselves big and small.
There are three different game modes with up to eight players. Morph Match is the classic Team Deathmatch, except instead of kills, the aim is to collect as much mass as possible. Headhunt is similar to Capture the Flag. Instead of a flag, however, you hunt a head. Your team avatar (a giant morph standing outside the playing field) has lost its head. And in mass theft, the teams steal mass from each other by targeting the other avatar.
"Morphies Law" is based on a series of freely configurable weapons. Each weapon consists of a basic part and an upgrade element. On top of this, you can choose a plugin before each game, such as a farting jetpack or an energy shield.
The game has an unusual design in the style of Día de Muertos, the most important Mexican holiday. "Morphies Law" is already available for the Switch and is set to follow for PC in the second quarter of 2019 at the latest. If you are interested in the beta, you can sign up here.

As a child, I wasn't allowed to have any consoles. It was only with the arrival of the family's 486 PC that the magical world of gaming opened up to me. Today, I'm overcompensating accordingly. Only a lack of time and money prevents me from trying out every game there is and decorating my shelf with rare retro consoles.
The Bern-based developer studio Cosmoscope brings a breath of fresh air to the shooter genre. They have found an original way to bring more fairness to multiplayer matches. In "Morphies Law", mass is transferred on hits. If you hit the head, arm or leg of a Morphie (that's the name of the character), the corresponding body part grows [Insert Sex Joke Here]. Good shooters will soon be huge and easy targets. On the other hand, those who only take bullets all the time shrink and are more difficult to hit. At the same time, as a dwarf you can take shortcuts that giants are denied.
