Find the impostor on the cruise ship
The Impostor – Voice Chat is a free action mobile video game wherein you have to complete your goals—good or evil they may be. Developed by Tycoon Games, this 3D detective game is highly similar to Among Us, where you also have to figure out which of the players in your room is the impostor who is attempting to sabotage the completion of your tasks. The major difference between the two is in the voice chat feature.
Too many uncomfortable similarities
Among Us is a 2018 free-to-play online multiplayer social deduction game developed and published by Innersloth. Taking place in a space-themed setting, players each take on a role—Crewmate and Impostor—and must achieve their goal in order to win the round. A game usually has up to 10 players each. The crew must either complete all minigame tasks or eject all Impostors, while the Impostor must kill all Crewmates by either sabotaging the ship or getting Crewmates ejected.
In The Impostor – Voice Chat, the mechanics are pretty much the same—unfortunately making it look like a copycat of Among Us. The differences between the two are that instead of a spaceship, you’re on a cruise ship, and the graphics are 3D models instead of the 2D art style of the Henry Stickmin games. Additionally, its only unique feature is that you can voice-chat directly on the app rather than a third-party program, like with Among Us.
The gameplay is alright—however, if you’re a fan of Innersloth’s party game, you may not appreciate how unoriginal this is. The map designs look almost similar to Among Us’ own maps, with just different room names. The biggest issue most players may have with this game is that due to its voice chat, you will often find people talking instead of typing. This can be disadvantageous to players who prefer not to talk aloud.
No need to type
All in all, The Impostor – Voice Chat is a fun game to try out—but aside from its in-app voice chat, there’s not much going for it in terms of original content. It would be better if there are more diverse options or cosmetics that can be won. If you’re looking for a free deduction game similar to Among Us, this is a nice alternative that doesn’t need another program or mod to talk aloud during meetings.
