Another factor that led to the popularity of the Among Us game, especially in 2020, was the rate at which Twitch streamers and Youtube influencers played the game. Among Us is a free game for the smart, dogged, and intuitive. Those who play the game are passionate and goal-driven. Among Us is available on Android, IOS, and Microsoft Windows.
How To Play Among Us Game
Among Us is a game of multiple players set in space. About 4-10 players can play at the same time. There are usually two categories of players which are, crewmates and selected impostors.
You can choose three players as impostors while the rest would be the crewmates. Crewmates are responsible for identifying the impostors, killing them, and finishing various tasks on the map. The impostors, on the other hand, have the role of eliminating the crewmates.
Among Us provides three maps that you can choose from to play, and they include:
- A spaceship ( also referred to as the Skeld)
- A building that serves as the headquarters ( Mira HQ)
- A planet base ( Polus)
The maps above have tracking technologies that would help crewmates in identifying impostors. These technologies are:
- CCTV security camera by Skeld
- Doorlogs on Mira HQ
- A piece of equipment for indicating vital organs on the Polus
There are mini-games available to the crewmates. These minigames are smaller tasks the crewmates can carry out during the game like maintenance activities such as rewiring and engine refueling.
The impostors would also receive a list of fake tasks. The idea behind having a fake list is for the impostors to identify themselves, sabotage the entire operation, and eliminate the crewmates.
A fantastic feature of Among Us is the ability of dead players to turn into ghosts. These ghosts can penetrate walls and are only visible to their fellow ghosts. The ghosts have the role of supporting their existing players ( be it crewmates or impostors) in any possible way.
The crewmates would be winners of the game if they finish all the tasks and take down all the impostors. The impostors can also win the game by making sure they eliminate many crewmates, thereby ensuring that both the crewmates and impostors are the same in number.
Sabotage by the impostor would result in a lights-out or door lock, after which the game sets a timer. The crewmates must bring a solution to the sabotage before the timer runs out, or they would lose their lives.
There are situations where a player may find a corpse, which would lead to an immediate meeting by the group to find the impostor responsible. After discovering who the impostor is, the group carries out a vote and throws the impostor out of the map.
Players can also call for an urgent group meeting by hitting any button on the map. The players may communicate via text chat or voice-chats ( through an external method referred to as 'Discord').
You can customize various aspects of the game through the options available. You can also buy and download spacesuits of different colors, skins, and pets for a better gaming experience.
