The Matrix is a revolutionary film that still has a lingering effect on many people and has led to games like Mad City Matrix. Even though the sequels were not as well-received as the original, there's a fight scene in the second film that's very memorable. The hero Neo finds himself ina tight spot when the main antagonist Agent Smith demonstrates an ability to clone himself seemingly endlessly and fights Neo en masse. That's what you'll be dealing with across various cityscapes using whatever power Neo has to keep back the clones and hopefully make it to the next part of your mission.

About Mad City Matrix

Matrix games haven't been the most well-received titles in the past but they've gained a cult following of sorts. This game may not have the biggest following, but it focuses on a well-known part of the film. You're just one man against so many clones of another man. You may be quite powerful, but he's also strong and will be coming in groups. All you can do is move and make sure that every single strike that you land has some sort of impact. If you waste your hits, you'll just leave yourself open to more punishment and eventually death.

How to Play

Mad City Matrix is a 3D fighting game about Neo fighting off the Agent Smith clones as best as he can with the mouse and keyboard.

Controls

Cursor - Aim
Left Mouse Button - Attack
W/Up Arrow - Move Forward
S/Down Arrow - Move Backward
A/Left Arrow - Move Left
D/Right Arrow - Move Right
Spacebar - Jump

The goal is to survive long enough against the Smith clones to move on to the next round. Neo's health is shown in the bottom left corner and the timer is shown at the top of the screen. Once the timer runs out, you'll move on to the next round. If your health hits zero, you'll need to try the round again.

When you start, Neo will spawn in the middle of an open area. After a few seconds, Smith clones will appear and some will start advancing towards Neo. Neo will need to use his martial arts to hit the clones and target different parts of their bodies. When a clone is defeated, the game will slow down and the clone will go limp. Neo is free to move around the area and as he does, more clones may appear and start advancing on him. All Neo has to do is survive until the time is up and then he can continue.

Tips and Tricks

Neo is restricted to punches which means he has a very short range and will need to put himself in danger to fight the clones. As long as he can strike them directly in the head, he can almost eliminate all of them instantly. Be aware of your surroundings to spot the clones moving toward you and take them out quickly before they crowd you.
