It is part of the Rugby League series. Wicked Witch Software also made AFL Mascot Manor for the DS.

NRL Mascot Mania supports up to 2 players, whether that means taking turns or going head-to-head.

Pick it if…

  • you want to get lost in a long quest
  • you have time for a weekend project (roughly 6–20 hours)
  • you have a friend to play against
  • you've played the DS hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you want fast action rather than puzzles and exploration

What playing NRL Mascot Mania is like

Adventure games focus on exploration, story and puzzle-solving rather than combat. Progress comes from examining your surroundings, collecting items and figuring out how they fit together.

Tip for newcomers: Classic adventure games can be cryptic by modern standards. Take notes, try everything on everything, and save before risky choices.
