YMMV / Looney Tunes: World of Mayhem

Go To

  • Catharsis Factor: If you ever wanted to see something like Wile E. Coyote finally beating the Road Runner or Sylvester defeating Tweety and Hector, then you finally get the chance here.
  • Goddamned Boss: Some characters who are useful when on your team are very annoying when they're on the opponent's team:
    • What Pepe Le Bard (Pepe Le Pew as he appears in The Scarlet Pumpernickel) lacks in Defense, he makes up for in his ability to heal every party member in the party for a chunk of health every turn. While it's a welcome ability when he's in your party, it's frustrating when he's in your opponent's party, as your progress in whittling down their health can very well be negated bit-by-bit by Pepe whenever he acts. It gets worse if a defensively-oriented toon decides to use Taunt, disabling you from being able to hit the darn skunk in the first place. Your best bet when facing him in a party is to just simply get rid of him as quickly as you can before he can act. And woe betide you if he's paired with Hillbilly Bugs, who likewise heals at the start of HIS turns.
    • Astronaut Sylvester has the unique ability to receive a 100% chance to dodge an attack after being hit for the rest of the battle or until an attack (which he will immediately dodge) is used on him again, and is a toon with the ability to taunt. Useful skills for making sure both your team and Sylvester himself are safe when he's on your team, but a frustrating one when he's not. When Astronaut Sylvester is on the opposing team, these two abilities of his mean that more often than not your toons will be stuck using their attacks on a single enemy that cannot even be damaged by them 50% of the time while being unable to pick off any other opposing team members (who will still be free to wail away on you) at the same time. Your best bet for dealing with this version of Sylvester is to bring a toon with the ability to negate the effects of taunting such as Penelope or Outlaw Foghorn, and even then that won't help you in the main Space campaign (since you cannot take them there) nor will it prevent Sylvester's annoying insta-dodging.
    • The artist toons are quite agitating because of their ability to sporadically dodge your attacks. Add to this characters like Flamenco Prissy and Jester Bugs, whose passive abilities allow them to heal or damage when an ally dodges.
    • Star-Pharaoh Marvin. His passive abilities give him a permanent buff at the start of his turn and then heal every character, with extra for every buff he has. If he gets a debuff, he'll proceed to immediately flip it and his God-King's Decree gets 10% more piercing power for each buff. Basically, he is Magikarp Power to a terrifying degree and he's able to solo a whole team if he remains in play long enough. Your best bet is to stun him and try to take him out as soon as possible, however, since the pharaoh is the mastermind toon, expect him to get paired up with Archon Elmer( whose main gimmick is his excessive taunting, preventing you from attacking the Star-Pharaoh), or M4RV1N (whose main gimmick is constantly debuffing your toons, making your attacks did barely any damage.).
    • Countess Penelope can ruin your entire day. A combination of almost-always-on Taunt and an extremely high rate of Counter to retaliate against any attack with her standard strike ... which hits all your toons. And if she has a reliable way of getting health back, you could be in for a grindfest. Fortunately, there are ways around it — such as the artist team mentioned above, as an attack against all means four chances for a dodge to proc their abilities.
    • Most of the legendary toons have such a game-breaking ability that facing just one of them can give you a hard time.
  • Good Bad Bugs: A City Event in 2021 had the special Don Henery wheel cost only 1 special token to roll 10 times due to an oversight, effectively giving every single player a free Don Henery that can potentially be at his Maxed Rank. This was noticed, but left in by the developers.
  • He Really Can Act: Do you need further proof that Eric Bauza is a Man of a Thousand Voices? This game has him voicing almost every character! (The only characters he doesn't voice so far are Porky Pig, Tweety and Sylvester Jr., who are all voiced by Bob Bergen)
  • Ho Yay: Phantom Le Pew has a mechanic that marks the first target he attacks for the rest of the battle (or until said target is beaten) and causes different effects whenever said target attacks or Pepe uses an attack. The name of this mechanic? Beloved. It's represented in the status bar by two hearts and one of the effects, which happens when the Beloved attacks, is called "Chante, Mi Ange" (Sing, my angel). And he's perfectly able of marking both male and female characters as his Beloved.
    • Similarly, one of Gentleman Pepe's attacks features him revealing a romantic setup and offering his enemy a heart-shaped box of chocolates and a rose bouquet (with the opponent getting overwhelmed by a cloud of perfume). Again, this can be done against male or female characters.
  • Nightmare Fuel:
    • Major Canasta has an attack where he gets in a Big Ball of Violence with the enemy, which ends with said enemy inside a cage in Canasta's trophy room. The scary part is that said room contains mounted heads of other Looney Tunes characters including the very innocent Penelope, a young bird like Henery Hawk and the otherwise undefeated Road Runner. Add to it that he can use this attack with anyone including other humans.
    • Racketeer Rabbit has an attack in which he locks an enemy in an oven and blows them up as they got fried alive (a reference to the scene from Bugs and Thugs).
    • The Zombie team has legitimately frightening designs and animations but Zombie Chungus' animation for Swarm Host takes the cake, as it involves him barging open a wooden door, using a more dementing voice for his catchphrase, and falling over as tiny versions of him spawn from his back and jump at the screen.
  • No Problem with Licensed Games: While not entirely without flaws (leveling and ranking your characters up to be their very best is a grind-fest for example), the game is surprisingly competent for a mobile RPG based on Looney Tunes. There's an actual strategy to the battles and the graphics and animation captures the spirit of Looney Tunes pretty well. It also helps that the energy system in place is considerably less of a hindrance here than in, say, the controversial Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, mostly because not every action requires the use of it and you actually have other stuff to do and methods to get more beyond premium currency whenever you run out.
  • That One Level:
    • The last level of the Sam Sheepdog/Ralph Wolf-oriented special campaign "Double or Mutton" (Act 3-5) has one of the most insidiously designed teams in the entire game. The team consists of Foghorn Leghorn, Sam, the aforementioned Pepe Le Bard, and Miss Prissy. Foghorn will always open up the battle with a Taunt, meaning immediately getting rid of Pepe or Miss Prissy is out of the question, and oftentimes, Sam will Taunt the moment Foghorn's wears off (and vice versa), ensuring that you'll rarely be able to get a hit on Prissy or Pepe. So what's stopping you from hitting them with an attack that hits all team members? The fact that you are limited to only Rare or Epic Farm toons (Foghorn, Sam, Ralph, Prissy, and Barnyard Dawg), and between the five there's exactly two attacks that hits all party members (Prissy's special attack and Dawg's Hidden special) and the former is pretty much useless unless you can get a critical hit with it. Having your Foghorn and/or Sam taunt will not save you either, as Prissy counter-attacks every toon that attacks a Farm toon (of which three out of four of the opposing team is), so Prissy will still happily whittle away at your non-defensive toons' HP no matter if you have Foghorn or Sam taunting (or having any of your non-defensive toons Hidden) or not. And on top of all that is the fact that Pepe heals his entire team each time he attacks, so it's very possible that the opposing team will be gaining more health than they are losing. Expect to lose many times unless your toons are leveled-up/tuned-up high enough to the point that Foghorn and Sam's status as Mighty Glacier and Stone Wall Damage-Sponge Boss respectively that can tag-team taunt if on a same team together is a non-issue.
    • Act 2 of the "Beep Beep" special campaign is also difficult, seeing as you can only use Mastermind toons. Doesn't sound so bad, since you can only use certain toons in the other acts of the campaign, right? Well, since Marvin the Martian had not been released yet, you can only use three toons, and none of them heal on a regular basis. Many players feel that it's the hardest act in the campaign.
  • Unexpected Character:
    • One of the alternate forms of Yosemite Sam in the game is K'Chutha Sa'am, a minor antagonist from the Duck Dodgers TV show and not any of the original Looney Tunes shorts.
    • Almost nobody expected The Mighty Angelo, who appeared in only one classic short ("To Itch His Own")note , to appear in this game.
    • Since the Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner cartoons by Rudy Larriva are usually disregarded among Looney Tunes fans, who expected The Solid Tin Coyote to show up?
    • Nobody expected the devs to actually add Big Chungus into the game. Some people believed it to be an early April Fools jokenote .
    • While people did imagine that Space Jam related characters would appear with the release of New Legacy, few could forsee LeBron James himself to be added.
