Maniac and games like it

The WhatsNext verdict

If you want a cheap, short-session power trip built around classic GTA-style destruction and escalating explosions, Maniac delivers. Players seeking deep builds, strong character variety, or lasting roguelite freshness may run out of reasons to return.

What it does best

A small rampage snowballs into absurd destructive power
Explosive urban chaos is the whole show
A compact twenty-minute rampage that invites another run

What might put you off

Repetition and shallow long-term variety
Assisted aiming and limited character distinction

The setup

What you are walking into

Survival get-away with an ever-increasing cast of law enforcement. Level up by public property destruction, police kills and pedestrian murders. Classic GTA reimagined as a survival chase action + roguelite elements.
