Among Us is the multiplayer mega-hit that has captivated casual and hardcore gamers alike since 2020, even though it was released in 2018. You and other players assume the roles of miniature space people who are split into two teams — Crewmates and Imposters. The Crewmates try to complete all their tasks, while the Imposters try to stop the Crewmates from doing so with lethal force. The winning team is the last team standing. Innersloth developed and published the game.
Among Us Premise
Among Us is a social deduction game that features four to 15 players. You will assume the role of one of many colored astronauts, complete with many customization options. Players are then split into two teams: Crewmates, who are the good guys trying to complete tasks and survive, and the Imposters, the villainous backstabbers who want to throw the crew into chaos by any means necessary.
Imposters have a few tricks at their disposal, including the ability to kill Crewmates, tamper with various systems, and traverse through vents. A new update to the game also lets Imposters shapeshift into another crew member. Imposters must be careful to not get caught doing evil or risk being reported by the crew and sent out of the ship.
The Crewmates win by completing all their tasks or by voting off Imposters during meetings. Imposters win by killing all the Crewmates, successfully disabling critical systems like oxygen tanks, or surviving meetings to the point where they outnumber the remaining Crewmates.
Among Us Main Characters
The vibrantly-colored bean-shaped space people that populate the game are the main characters of Among Us. Players will refer to their comrades as these colors, such as Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Orange, Purple, etc.
