HOW TO PLAY AMONG US.
While Among Us has been available since 2018, in recent months it has had a huge following that has the game on everyone’s lips. The success came thanks to the massive use of streamers and not during their live shows, but also thanks to the potential of the title that emerges especially when played in the company. You might have heard about it recently and would like to try it out, but you’re not sure how the game works. Don’t worry, here’s everything you need to know to start playing Among Us right away. We remind you that the among us is available both on Mac, PC and in mobile versions on iOS and Android.
AN IMPOSTOR CIRCULATES AMONG US
It’s basically a board game. All players are inside a broken-down spaceship and will need to complete certain objectives (called tasks) to win the game. To oppose you, however, there are a few impostors lurking in the crew. Sessions in which you must move around the spaceship to complete tasks will alternate with sessions in which you can communicate and vote the main suspect to be ruthlessly kicked out of the spaceship.
It is a video game version of Lupus In Fabula, with some additions that increase the possibilities offered to players. It is also possible to play without a party and search for matches via matchmaking. In this case, we advise you to select the “Other” option in the game search drop-down menu. At the moment there is no specific filter for our language, but this way you will have many possibilities to play with other Spaniards. Obviously though Among Us gives the best in the company, our advice is to play with a group of friends to get the most out of the game.
PERFORM TASKS
We continue our guide on how to play with each other by outlining the specific tasks. These are randomly assigned to each player at the start of the game. There are three types: Short, Long, and Common. The first takes place in a short time, it consists of solving very simple mini-games to increase the green bar that indicates a victory for the players. Those of the second type are generally more complex and require crossing more rooms to complete them. The latter instead they are common to all players and can be completed as a team.
The number of tasks is decided by the host at the start of the game in the settings. Performing them will force you to move around the map and increase the risk of being alone. At that time, you will be extremely vulnerable and could fall prey to the impostor lurking in the ship. So try to do them as quickly as possible don’t worry, it’s all about very simple homework and it won’t take much to know them. At this point, you will be able to complete them without even thinking about it in seconds.
MANAGE MAP
Managing movement within the map can be the difference between victory and defeat. We advise you to always open the map with the button at the top right. In this way you will have the vision of the whole spaceship, in addition, there will be large exclamation points that indicate the places to reach to complete the tasks. If you want you can always keep the map open because it is semi-transparent and it won’t prevent you from moving around easily.
Always keep your eyes peeled though, you may see suspicious scenes at any time and spot a potential impostor. The important thing is to build a mental path to make as few moves as possible, this way you will complete the tasks in a short time and put the imposters in serious trouble. If you want to play your best you have to be efficient and in Entre Nous everything passes from the management of the path.
GHOST LIFE AND CRISIS MANAGEMENT
One of the most interesting things is certainly the presence of ghosts. In this way, in fact, you can continue to play Among Us even after your death. Under the guise of ghosts, you will not be able to communicate with your companions in any way, of course, but you will have many advantages. Ghosts can walk through walls and be extremely faster than a normal player. As a ghost, you can also continue to complete your tasks to help win.
A side note deserves the Crisis. This is a particular moment when one of the imposters has seriously compromised the condition of the ship. The red arrows at the edge of the screen will tell you where to go to fix the problem. When this happens, the entire group must focus solely on the crisis, as it can range from sabotaging the lights to a fatal failure that will give victory to the impostor team.
COMMUNICATE
Communication is one of the most important parts of the game and at the same time the most fun. There are two ways to play between us: using text or voice chat. You can only talk when members get together and that’s where you have to be good at convincing other players to follow you. Maybe you know who the impostor is and want to kill him, or you are the impostor and you will have to deceive everyone about your innocence.
The game does not have voice chat, but you can easily arrange with your friends to use it through an external program. We strongly advise you to remain silent while performing tasks and strictly follow this rule. Talking only in meetings not only increases immersion but makes the game much more fun. Communication time is strictly limited, so try to be quick and clear right away.
THE ROLE OF THE IMPOSTOR
Playing Among Us as an impostor is one of the funniest things in the whole game. In this role, you’ll have to mock other players, kill them when no one sees you, or convince them that the impostor is another player. innocent unsuspecting. Being an Imposter, however, is even harder, and you’ll need to be careful when moving around so you don’t end up in the eye of the storm.
One of the most underrated skills is being able to enter vents to hide from the crew. Only the impostor has this possibility and can be really useful on many occasions. You should also try to pretend to accomplish tasks even if you don’t actually do them. Be careful though, for some tasks (like shooting meteorites) they activate animations visible from the outside. Avoid pretending with this kind of task or you will get caught. For more tips on how to play the impostor, we recommend our guide entirely dedicated to this role.
