During the recent merger between Gray Solutions and Beige Dynamics, the HR division devised a revolutionary new system to better empower their employees by allowing them to weed out the less capable ones among them, division by division, thus creating a leaner and more efficient corporation as a result.
Welcome to HRmageddon, yet another tongue-in-cheek parody of corporate culture developed by THUP Games and published by the wickedly cool people at Adult Swim. As with any AdultSwim game, there’s bound to be a bit of their trademark mature themes in there but it’s generally all good old tactical squad-based action.
Four different personnel stereotypes are yours to hire : managers provide defensive bonuses to their co-workers but are useless on their own, receptionists are masters in delivering volleys of staples to the faces of the opposition, salesmen zip around dealing massive damage with their equally huge bar charts and IT guys generally mess around with computers and disrupt multiple enemies in the vicinity with abilities like Server Crash.
Pick your six staff wisely and get ready to wipe the opposing division off the new company’s payrolls. Simply take over the required number of cubicles in the office to forcefully retrench the rival division (you can’t work when you don’t have a cubicle to work in, can you) or better still, literally terminate them all (permanently). There’s no limitation to how many employees of each type you can hire in your division, which partially explains why the corporation wants to cut costs – anyone who has ever worked in a place where there were more managers than workers will definitely understand 
While it’s obviously just a game, some of the fundamental (and unwritten) rules of work still apply here – pay raises always boost staff morale – but their supposedly positive impact on employee health in real life is still a hotly debated topic 
Also more coffee = more power (for special attacks) – although I’ll like to readily admit that IT guys like me are more prone to cause server crashes (accidently, of course) from lack of coffee than with more coffee as depicted in-game
The tactical gameplay is surprisingly deep due to the the number of possible division setups – 720 – as the factorial of 6 proves (see, maths is good for you). Understanding how and when to use each special attack for each character for maximum effectiveness as well as how each of your staff complements the others is crucial for victory.
Every cubicle that you control for your division further increases the offensive bonus for your entire division so you have to strike a fine balance in your strategy between a wholescale murder of your rivals and a all-out race for the cubicles.
There’s also several power-ups to be collected, some which will affect your strategy depending on which character picks them up – clone a speedy salesman with the copier to quickly grab more cubicles or a manager for extra healing support for a sustained battle with your foes. For those random effect powerups, you’ll just have to make do with what they confer on your fortunate (or unfortunate) employees and re-adjust your strategy accordingly.
Definitely loads of fun to be had in HRmageddon especially if you like your tactical games sprinkled with a generous dose of irreverent humour.
