TL;DR – This might be the most janky game I have ever played that has produced so much fun.

Meccha Chameleon Review Introduction  

If you have spent any time on the internet in the last month, then you would have most likely seen this game on whatever social media you get your short-form videos from. People hide in plain sight while their friends hunt them down. It looked deceptively simple, so as the least artistically gifted member of my family, I decided to jump in and see what a game made by just two developers could pull off.

So, to set the scene, Meccha Chameleon is an asymmetrical team game.

So, to set the scene, we have entered the world of Dune, but not the world you might be familiar with. For this is one of Paul Atreides’ spice dreams, where he explores a world of what would have happened if his mother Lady Jessica had been loyal to the Bene Gesserit and had a daughter instead of a son, as they wanted. Thus, House Atreides was not wiped out in the Arrakis coup, and the planet has been thrust into a war between them and House Harkonnen. You play an off-worlder from one of several factions that have found themselves on a slave transport. Your life has minimal promise, that is, until a masked figure shoots down your transport and you find yourself out on the sands of Dune, not prepared for the world you are about to enter.
