From 10 to 9 to 8 to 7, everyone is getting murderer by an shape-shifting alien that looks like you. But the question is who? Originally released in 2018, Among Us blew up only recently in 2020 after popular Twitch streamers started streaming it, making it reach to more than 100 MILLION downloads on Android alone.
Currently, it is only available on PC, Android, IOS and it soon going to be available this year. On Android and IOS it is free but on PC it is currently priced at $5. Currently there isn’t any price tag on the Xbox edition yet!
How To play
The goal is simple; 8 people go around the space ship and repair the ships with tasks assigned to everyone! While minding your own business and completing your tasks, Bam… one of the imposters have gotten you. To win, Either the imposters has to get everyone or the crew mates have to finish all their tasks or vote out the imposters if they are caught in the act.
In-game Character Accessories
Another thing Among Us is known for its variety of skins, hats and even pets! Along with all the different characters colors, you can also customize them at a cost. Each item costs anywhere from SGD$1.49 to SGD$3.99 which I would say is pretty affordable considering most skins gave a hat included with it and some hats come in bundles of 8!
Maps
There are only 3 maps as of now and a fourth one is currently in the making. The three of them are:
- The Skeld: A space ship
- Mira Hq: A space base
- Polus: A planet base
Currently, my favorite map is The Skeld. The first map I had played on. I have played it so much that I might even know the map in the back of my hand!
In conclusion, Among Us is a great game. BUT, the only downside is its numerous number of bugs such as the most common one I encounter which is the blank game bug. Every time I load on, I have to exit at least 3 times to get the lobby to show the games available. But despite that, I still continue to play it game after game because of the excitement of winning or loosing each game!
