NEW Joe & Mac - Caveman Ninja (PS5)

NEW Joe & Mac - Caveman Ninja is an action platformer for PlayStation 5 from Microids, developed by Mr. Nutz Studio and released in November 2022. It remakes a famous arcade game in HD, with redesigned graphics, new sounds and better controls, and it is supplied on a physical disc. The age rating is GENERIC 7.

Two cavemen against the Neanderthals

Joe and Mac live in a peaceful, cool village until a gang of Neanderthals snatches every woman in it. The two cave dudes set out to bring them back, battling dinosaurs and carnivorous plants through colourful prehistoric levels.

The tone is deliberately goofy and bright. It plays like a funny, quirky arcade game that still has enough challenge and content to appeal to all kinds of players.

The remake is described as longer, better, faster and stronger than the arcade original, with new graphics, new sounds and improved controls, and the extended mode stretches the adventure well beyond the original arcade run.

Gameplay and features

• Faithful remake of the arcade original with new graphics, sounds and controls
• Two modes: the arcade mode (Remake) and an extended mode for a longer adventure
• Co-op for 2 players, so a friend can join the prehistoric rescue
• Training mode for practising moves
• Boss rush mode for back-to-back fights
• Score attack and speedrun modes for replay value
• Offline play only

Why play it on PlayStation 5

The PS5 disc lists Remote Play support. Play is offline only, which keeps things simple: pick up two pads and play side by side with a friend.

On-screen text is available in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Japanese, Korean and Chinese. Arabic is not listed.

Two players is the maximum, so this is a game for a pair rather than a party. If you plan to play together, a second controller is worth having to hand before you start.
