Conan Chop Chop is real, and its brain spiders can get in the bin, then into a volcano

Conan Chop Chop

Conan Chop Chop is a party roguelite for 1-4 players full of mayhem, loot, and adventure. In this outrageous take on Conan the Barbarian, you are the muscle-bound hero foolish enough to try and stop the evil wizard Thoth-Amon!

Conan Chop Chop is real. It’s a cutesy dungeon crawler with 1-4 player co-op. Mighty Kingdom made it, Funcom are publishing it. It’ll be out around September. Good. Fine. Good. Can we talk about these horrible leggy brain things in this picture I found please. What? Why? How do they even feed? Do they have telekinetic powers like the Brain Bugs in Starship Troopers? If so, why are they running into chop-chopping distance? Brains don’t do well against swords, that’s the whole point of skulls. Why are there legs coming out of their cerebellums? How can they fit the required neurological and muscular apparatus in there? Are those purple splats on the other side of the screen the remains of defeated brain bugs? Is that a CHUFFING WEB?
