When you just like the enjoyable, rubber hose model of previous Disney cartoons, however you would like they had been extra violent, this can be one for you. Mouse is an upcoming FPS that kinds itself off these retro cartoons, and developer Fumi Video games has simply launched a gameplay trailer for it.

Taking direct inspiration from the animated reveals and noir movies of a bygone period, Mouse combines high-octane first-person taking pictures with the goofy antics of those historical toons. From what will be seen within the trailer, it seems to be like there’s even some blood for that added sense of senseless violence. You possibly can wishlist the sport proper now.

The studio describes Mouse thus:

With weapons blazing and a retro rubber hose animation model, battle your means by way of a corrupt metropolis stuffed with crooks and hazard.

It’s like Mickey Mouse meets Edward G Robinson

In the meanwhile, there’s no actual launch date, however Fumi is aiming to launch in 2025. Whereas the trailer says it’s “early gameplay footage,” it’s trying fairly good thus far. A put up on Steam says the crew is “aiming to verify to have the perfect recreation attainable!”

There aren’t many video video games like this. The obvious instance that involves thoughts is Cuphead, which fits for that rubbery model of animation, however in a extra enjoyable – albeit brutally difficult – context. Then there’s Flexible and the Ink Machine, which leans far more into the horror facets, however clearly takes inspiration from this period of cartoons.

It’s good that we reside in a time when Nineteen Thirties cartoons will be reborn as gritty shooters. There’s a form of fast-paced motion to Mouse that looks like what Steamboat Willie could be like, if it was remade by Quentin Tarantino.
