Goons: Legends & Mayhem
Join the community on Discord
About the GameGoons: Legends & Mayhem is a frantic blend of arcade hockey, beat ’em up, and sports action that will trigger couch co-op nostalgia.
Players are thrown into an epic adventure to save Rondelia – a once quaint and prosperous kingdom where hockey is at the centre of everything. Choose from one of eight unique characters divided into three classes – the attack-focused Sharpshooter, the defence-oriented Enforcer, and the Wingman who can focus on either supporting their team or harassing their opponents.
Team up with another player in 2v2 hockey encounters against a single goaltender, or in a classic 3v3 mode to unleash full chaos. Communication is key, and your skills will make the difference between victory and defeat!
Pick the right character to craft a team strategy that will allow you to shoot and (hopefully) score! Choose characters from the Sharpshooter (attack), Enforcer (defense), or Wingman (support) classes. Each character features their own abilities and unique traits allowing for long-lasting replayability.
Pure PVP arcade hockey action with a twist. Matches that will take you back to the couch co-op era, while providing a more modern sports experience, with character classes and a goalkeeper that feels like a constant boss fight. Choose from local co-op, online with friends, or even multiplayer with complete randos!
Other players are not your only worry here, goalies will also do their best to ruin your best plays whenever possible. Be it long-range attacks, vicious mortar attacks, or melee charges, no expense is spared protecting the net.
In Goons: Legends & Mayhem’s story mode, goaltenders become literal boss fights, each of them teaching you how to master different hockey techniques, preparing you for your PVP skirmishes!
Goons offers a variety of environments to wreck your friends in, from the chilled coasts of a once-booming fish market, to the mythical realm of wizardry and legends. Each environment has its own special mechanics, environmental hazards, and goaltender to defeat.
Embark on a journey to save the Hockeyverse! Play solo and defeat mascots while trying to save the world from the Grand Mascoteer, who’s trying to ruin hockey for everyone. Progress through the stages, unlock new characters, and investigate the turmoil that’s wreaking havoc on this unique hockey universe!
Delve into a levelling system that allows you to customise your experience through emote stickers and character skins. Play matches, earn currency, visit shops, and treat yourself to a shopping spree! Communicate and score goals, with style!
Note: A controller is required for local multiplayer functionality.

This is exactly what would happen if Nintendo would create a Super Mario hockey game. It's goofy, cartoony, fun to play, family-friendly and it's filled with hockey puns and jokes. The story mode is super surprising so far, this is not just hockey games, it feels more like a Beat 'Em Up with hockey elements. I love it.
For someone who is pretty tired of the yearly NHL games, this is very refreshing. It brings me back to my childhood playing NHL '94 where it was way more pick-and-play.
Very cool so far, there's nothing like this on Steam!
Also, I played the demo a while back and the game has improved a lot since. The devs are quite active on Discord.

If you're looking for a game to fill the endless void that 3on3 NHL Arcade left behind... this probably won't do it. It's really fun, gameplay is super smooth, but it lacks some of the features that kept me wanting to keep playing 3on3.
Pros -
- If you don't care about the below, buy this game it's super fun and plays fantastic. Everything else is great.
Cons -
- Server Browser Matchmaking -- really no way to jump into a match and play right away. You have to suffer through trying to get in a server with randoms
- No tournament or cup play -- doesn't have that all familiar cup grind from the Super Mario Strikers games
- No dekeing or stick control -- kinda limits what you can do and makes it kinda repetitive to score
- No leaderboards or stats or way to measure up

Finished the Story, very fun,
hoping for a matchmaking system like quickplay, and a rank matchmaking would be very fun cus of the different legends especially with friends.
Finally a good arcade hockey game for Pc

I must admit I do not care at all about hockey, but that game is amazing. I haven't played much yet, but it's a lot of fun, and I can't wait to play it with friends. The fluidity of the skating is really cool, and just doing that and throwing pucks in the faces of other people and my surroundings would be enough to recommend it. I'll be back to update my review after trying more stuff.

Really enjoying this game! The online multiplayer is really fun, happy to have a game like this on PC cause there really isn't anything on the market quite like it!

A really fun twist on the sports genre, with a lot of theme park charm. Chaotic in all the right ways, easy to get into even if you're not a hockey fan.

Good party game, lots of fun. Single gameplay nothing special but bought the game specifically for hanging out with friends and having a laugh. Needs "rematch" option and option to skip the cinematics
