Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
On the surface, Mulaka draws the player in with its colorful environment and quirky visuals to tell a tale straight from Tarahumara mythology, but its uninspired gameplay mechanics and failure to invest the player in its world destroys any potential for a good game.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Gameplay-wise, Mulaka draws inspiration from classic 3D action-adventure design, with exploration, light puzzle-solving, platforming, and combat forming the backbone of its experience.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
With a diverse set of creatures taken from actual Tarahumara mythology and an outstanding soundtrack of cultural appropriateness to the region and to the period of time in history, Mulaka promises a look into the past and into the spiritual and indigenous history of northern Mexico through the eyes of one of these Sukurúame shaman.
