The game Pummel Party, developed and published by Rebuilt Games, has experienced a huge hype in the last few weeks and months. Accordingly, ...
What Exactly is a Pummel Party?
For everyone who doesn't know about the Pummel Party, we would like to explain it briefly here. The game principle is based on the Nintendo classic Mario Party, which can hardly be found on the PC in this form.
It's also a board game where you play mini-games with your friends or with bots. The way of playing is different of course. There is a different atmosphere than in the world of Nintendo.
It's a bit darker and there's more action, with violence, explosions, and the like than the Nintendo original.
Why the Hype So Suddenly?
The exit restrictions caused by the coronavirus were certainly one of the decisive factors. Pummel Party is a great way to have a good time with friends online.
You can do this with up to 8 players, but a classic split-screen coop style of play is also possible. In addition, the developers continue to work on the indie game.
The game was released in 2018, so continuous updates are not necessarily a matter of course. In addition, the classics Frogger, Snake, or Bomberman have been re-released in the mini-games. So the game also picks up a few "old hands".
Consequently, the consistently positive reviews are not surprising. On Steam, 91% of over 15,000 reviews were positive. A great rate for an indie game.
Why is Pummel Party So Popular on Twitch?
The fact that Pummel Party is hyped on Twitch should not have escaped any viewer. The game is very popular with German streamers such as Montana Black (MontanaBlack88), Papaplatte, and Trymacs, but also with more international streamers such as XQC (xQcOW). These streamers are sometimes followed by tens of thousands of viewers.
The hype is relatively easy to explain. As an entertaining and entertaining game, Pummel Party is predestined for streaming. You can bring several friends, viewers, or streaming, colleagues, onboard and have a good time.
This also has the advantage for the streamer that he does not have to play the solo entertainer as usual but offers the best entertainment with the resulting conversations and the content of the game. Thus, the streamers can also increase their reach and mix the individual communities.
The game itself ensures a competitive character despite the indie game status. This just turns the game off and creates excitement in the respective stream.
In any case, this ensures an emotional up and down and you can switch from pure euphoria to absolute rage in a very short time. Exactly what a good stream has to offer.
All in all, it's no surprise that the Mario Party-themed indie game is making such a big splash on Twitch.
We would like to recommend each of you check out one or the other Pummel Party stream and get your own impression of the game and the stream experience.
