It was during 2020 that the app we will see below gained such popularity that it passed 500,000,000 million downloads from various platforms around the world. A simple game in appearance would begin to be the favorite of Twitch and YouTube streamers. And so we learned of the existence of Among Us, a worldwide phenomenon.
Get on my ship
The development of the game will take place mainly on a spaceship, where in appearance everyone is a crew member with a common mission. However, nothing is what it seems because there are infiltrators who pursue a single goal: to sabotage the ship by eliminating the crew members!
Crew member or impostor, which side are you on?
You will be randomly assigned a role in this game of intrigue and ingenuity, where colorful little astronauts abound (you will be one of them!).
If you are a crew member, these are your objectives:
1- Complete your tasks before an impostor eliminates you. What tasks? The ones that any astronaut would do! They are divided into common, short and long ones, and you will be provided with a map with the location of each one.
The most common maps include:
- The Skeld: The classic spaceship.
- MIRA HQ: A space station.
- Polus: A base on an outer planet.
- The Airship: A large flying ship.
2- You'll also have to work as a team with the rest of the crew members to identify the impostors and expel them from the game through discussions and voting.
If all the crew members complete the tasks before the impostors eliminate them, they win the game.
If you are an impostor instead, the objectives will be these:
- Sabotage critical ship or base systems (such as oxygen supply or lights), creating distractions to divide the crew members and delay them in their tasks. You'll have a skill: you will be able to pretend you are performing a task so that no one suspects you.
- Eliminate enough crew members so that the number of impostors equals the number of crew members, thus winning the game.
Touching the Sky
In Among Us, players earn in-game achievements for these reasons:
- Completing a specified number of tasks.
- Surviving a specified number of games as an impostor.
- Correctly voting out the impostors.
An app that did its job well
The app proposes a design that makes it easy to understand how to play the game and is therefore enjoyed by players of all ages.
Once you enter, you will see the Main Menu that will give you the choice between:
- Playing online.
- Playing locally.
- Training in free mode (suggested if you're new!).
- Customizing your character with your preferences.
Everything flows, and for this reason, we are in the presence of an intuitive and easy-to-navigate interface.
With tabs that leave no room for doubt, you'll easily find the main ones:
- Game Options (settings, viewing tutorials and quitting the game).
- Lobby or Waiting Room (with the chat window ready for players to communicate).
- Game Settings: If you are a host you can adjust the game rules (number of impostors, voting time, character speed, etc.).
Don't cheat me
Trust me and let's go straight to the specifics of this app that will interest you!
- Among Us is a free app, although it includes in-app purchases for additional customization (such as pets, hats, and costumes for your character and the ability to remove ads).
- If you have Android, you can download this app from the Google Play Store.
- If you have iOS, you will have to do it from the App Store.
- This is a multiplayer app, so you must ensure a minimum of 4 players to start and a limit of 15.
