Summary

Ex‑Mutants bursts onto the Sega Genesis as a gritty action platformer that lifts the 1992 comic reboot straight from the page. You can pick either Shannon or Ackroyd, two hardened survivors navigating a bleak, irradiated wasteland while hunting down the twisted henchmen of the villainous Sluggo. The game’s levels are packed with mutated foes and environmental hazards that demand precise jumps and quick reflexes, echoing the comic’s chaotic, post‑apocalyptic vibe. Developed by Malibu Interactive and released under Sega of America’s banner, the title captures the spirit of the Malibu/Eternity universe without sacrificing the fast‑paced gameplay that 90s fans expect. It’s a solid, if under‑appreciated, slice of retro action that lets you fight to restore humanity one pixel at a time.

Storyline

Ex‑Mutants, the Sega Genesis side‑scrolling action game, pulls its narrative from the Malibu Comics reboot of the 1986 comic series. In this version a robotic‑looking cyborg named Professor Kildare gathers six mutants—three men (Dillon, Ackroyd, Bud) and three women (Shannon, Piper, Tanya)—and genetically rewrites them into fully human heroes. The game lets players control Ackroyd and Shannon as they battle the local warlord Sluggo, who keeps other mutants enslaved. Along the way the Ex‑Mutants confront various mutant foes while trying to free the oppressed and restore order to a shattered world. The storyline blends post‑apocalyptic survival with a classic good‑versus‑evil showdown, letting players experience the comic’s themes of redemption and humanity through fast‑paced gameplay.
