Developer Mommy's Best Games, a studio lead by ex-Insomniac Games and Serious Sam Double D XXL developer Nathan Fouts, has announced a new Hard Mode update for their action platformer ChainStaff.
When discussing the announcement Nathan Fouts, Director and game designer, had this to say:
“A lot of players were asking for a tougher version of ChainStaff since they’ve already beaten the game on Normal mode. I designed the Hard mode update to be tough, interesting, and shake up when you know about the game. And I don’t like “bullet sponge” updates for a “hard mode” where is just the same enemies with more health. That’s not the case in ChainStaff, enemies go down the same as before, but they attack in new ways!” - Nathan Fouts, Director and game designer.
The update also brings quality of life improvements to the title, along with new enemy attack patterns, stage modifications, new cheats, and more. Additionally the game has received a 20% off weeklong discount on Steam until Monday, Jun 8, 10 AM Pacific Time / 7 PM CET.

In ChainStaff, you are a mutant with an alien attached to your head ready to master your transforming spear and grappling hook, blazing weapon upgrades. With the rocking soundtrack of Broforce composer Deon van Herrden, players will swing, shoot, and spear their way through hordes of evil monsters and bone-shaking boss fights, and get this thing off your head!
Key FeaturesMaster the ChainStaff
- Master the ChainStaff: a transforming grappling hook that can turn into a spear, shield and more.
- Grotesque Upgrades: Do you rescue your fallen friends, or turn more alien by eating their organs? Each decision unlocks upgrades on two different tech trees.
- 10 Wild Levels: Each level is like a classic rock album cover come to life.
- Transforming Aliens: Each massive boss presents a new way to think about how to use the ChainStaff. Will you break their teeth apart, or pry open their gigantic jaws?

Hurl it as a spear and slice aliens in half. Throw it to the ground as a shield to stop incoming attacks. Grapple and swing on just about anything. The transforming ChainStaff does all this and more, and all with one button, it’s all up to you.
Every creature in the world of ChainStaff has been mutated by the invading Star Spores. And each one creates its own challenge and own special way to be taken down by the player with the ChainStaff.
Grotesque Upgrades
Stranded soldiers dot the landscape of ChainStaff. You have to choose whether to rescue them or devour their organs; each option has unique benefits and will lead to different endings.
