'Manic Mechanics' Is A High-Octane Co-Op Party Game Coming to Nintendo Switch In July - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on June 21, 2023 @ 12:11 p.m. PDT

Grab your toolbox and get ready for Manic Mechanics, a carnival of chaotic couch co-op action.

In Manic Mechanics, up to four players pull on their overalls and head to the gear-obsessed Octane Isle, looking to make a name for themselves as travelling mechanics. Players challenge the Master Mechanics who rule the island to prove their crew is worthy of joining the mechanics guild.

The aim of the game is to fix as many cars (or trucks, choppers, tractors, mini-subs, UFOs...) as possible before time runs out. This may sound easy, but the faster the mechanics work, the more chaos is unleashed. Intricate mechanical processes are hindered by fuel spills, exploding tires, short-circuiting robots, stampeding cows and even alien abductions, with hilariously chaotic consequences.

No two games are the same as you manage this vehicle-based chaos through 25 unique garage levels, each one more challenging than the last. Completing a garage is one thing, but mastering it and beating your team's best score requires coordination, skill and determination.

With five different neighborhoods on Octane Isle to experience, this won’t be an easy ride. So, grab your toolbelt, round up your friends and see if you have what it takes to become Master Mechanics.


"When we decided to take 4J to the next level by publishing our own games, our aim was to create 'games for everyone' - and I don't think we could have found a better way to start that journey than with Manic Mechanics," says 4J Studios' Chairman, Chris van der Kuyl. "Manic Mechanics is great fun in single-player mode, but it really comes to life when you bring your friends and family into the chaos. It's been a huge hit in the studio for the past few months and I'm excited that we're now finally able to let other people join in the fun. We can’t wait to see everyone’s reaction to this fantastic start to 4J’s next chapter."

Manic Mechanics is available to pre-order on the Nintendo eShop here.

Manic Mechanics is coming to Nintendo Switch on July 14, 2023.
