Upland: Mix Crew

Upland: Mix Crew is a platforming video game developed by 1001 Spears. It is the third main game in the Upland video game franchise, following 2017's Upland: Ogres, which was a direct sequel to 2016's Upland. It is the game before Upland: Capturing Phalanx and features the voices of Chris Marquette, Erik Knudsen, Daveed Diggs, Austin Nichols, Brendan, Matin Starr, Wesley Bentley, Jamie Dornan, Marty McCoy and Jillian Janson.
It is the first Upland game to be released in North America before other regions, unlike the previous two games where Australia got the installments first.
== Synopsis ==
During the last eruption ceremony at Cracked Volcano, the volcano that replenishes Upland magic, something tragic happened. Planted aimed to demolish the volcano, but Water Sought, Explosion Erosion, Scout Shout, Freeze Sneeze, Night Might, Charge Sarge, Hydrogen Sulfide, Rattler, Frosted Blake, Trap Cap, Ape Rape, Spy Guy, Rubble Bubble, Rock Blocker, Boom Zoom and Flamer Lamer defended it. After that, the volcano erupted, blasting them apart, sending these warriors to the internet. The volcano's eruption gave these warriors the ability to mix and combine powers, transforming them into the Mix Crew. Now they must swap extremities to save the Vapors from Hallow, stop Eye Angle, and save Upland.
The gameplay for Mix Crew is based on the two previous games, Upland and Upland: Ogres. Players use a portal to bring characters from the online store into the video game. For the new game, warriors are able to jump, and there are new mixing Warriors. These sixteen new characters have top and bottom halves that can be separated from each other and recombined with the halves from other characters. This allows for a total of 256 combinations between all tops and bottoms. Another new feature of the mixing characters is that each has one of eight distinct ways of moving. These different movement types are necessary to enter certain side areas in the game called "Mix Challenges". Only characters with the correct bottom half can enter said areas. There are eight: Thrust, Swirl, Undermine, Sneak, Teleport, Jump, Sonic and Climb.
