For those of you that would love to revisit the game, I'm gonna provide the Steam link at the bottom of the comment. AND I would highly suggest joining the official Murder Miners' Discord, they STILL host weekly events and hop onto servers on the weekends/weekdays! Also, never stop GOABing :D Link to Murder Miners: store.steampowered.com/app/274900/Murder_Miners/?snr=1_7_7_151_150_1 Link to MM Discord: discord.gg/murder-miners-hub-266308270942191627
Fun fact; The devs have been working on Murder Miners 2 for a number of years and regularly release updates on the progress they're making. It's not out yet but it looks so much better with improved graphics, gameplay and customization options for both players and maps. Just figured you'd want to know if you want to keep an eye on it ;^)
This is probably the coolest and most wholesome GOAB ever. And the first GOAB I am personally wishlisting and probably buying. Lets bring the Murder Miners community back to life
That's so great to hear, I had such a great time recording/playing it. Definitely resonated with this game the most out of all the GOABs. I would definitely give it a try, at such a low price, let's revive Murder Miners!
@@MuffinManMLG if i wasn't one of the biggest cheapstakes, i would buy it ngl, also if my laptop wasn't terrible, but that would only change a bit, seems fun, but yeah, i'm (a bit to much of an) cheapstake
@@MuffinManMLG its 3pm and im laughing my ass off from everything in this video, thank you for existing and creating such a masterpiece of a video, I mean it
You guys should go support the devs they are making a sequel called “Murders Miners X” it’s been in development for years but as of lately they been making real good progress. They have a whole channel on TH-cam showing the development. Search for “Murder Miners X”
Ain't that the truth! It almost seems that they took the people that loved Halo and Minecraft, discussed what they loved both about the games and made a perfect game
Maaan i remember hearing all my friends getting murder miners back when xbox 1 was nowhere near announcing its presence. Fuuuuuuck this brings back memories
thats good to know, ive wanted bots in this game since it was on the xbox indie store, and for some reason devs absolutely hate ai, so now i have to wait until the end of the week to play, but hey, atleast i know when folks will actually be online now!
The creative bit was so peaceful, damn... It felt like my first time playing creative minecraft, building a big ass house with diamond blocks, domesticating 20 wolves
the fact that you made a grave for "the bruh". truly brings a tear to my eye xD. this game actually isn't half bad too. for $3 i might even pick it up sometime just to screw around in
DAMN the sale must have ended, $3 is def still a steal. I'm super excited for the new Murder Miners they're making (graphics are tremendously improved). As for the grave, I just felt that it was right :)
was a huge fan of murder miners and was super stoked for its PC port back in the day, I had written a bunch of silly lore on the game with a steam guide and it ended up getting the attention of some devs who thought it was cool, overall really chill dev team and them givin' props to a kid just writing stupid stuff on their game was super nice.
This video genuinely made me so happy, it gave me some sort of feeling I haven't felt in YEARS. Just goofing around, no hard feelings. Hope your channel blows up man :)
Couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw a TH-cam video with 100k views in 2024 about Murder Miners. Back in the day when we didn’t have much my siblings and I would take monthly surveys that would give like 80 Microsoft Points to your Xbox Live account and for 240 Microsoft points you could afford a free indie game. This game brought back a lot of fond memories. You definitely should check out the other maps in this game I always remember being blown away 😂 Couldn’t get Minecraft this was the next best thing besides a couple other cheap indie ones
Holy shit, what a hack! haha DEFINITELY got your "money's" worth going with this instead of minecraft. Honestly, Murder Miners with Minecraft's open terrain generation and zombies would be incredible!
I remember playing this back then on the Xbox 360. When you got no money, so you just went to the arcade and looked for indie games that were on demo mode. My younger brother really adored this game and bought it as soon as he could when he got his own laptop on steam. Just a whole decade later! I myself had already forgotten it existed. It's even there in my library since we family share, but holy... man it held up for sure. I might also purchase it for myself as well as for my friend group just mess around and have a good time! Edit: Just some grammatical errors I fixed up since it bothered me...
This is an amazing story, I love the memories attached to games, simply reminiscing back then :) For a dollar, I can see how easy you and all your friends could have an amazing time!
@@MuffinManMLG Thank you for those words and thank you for the video It's really nice to see indie games be shown off like this! Thanks for relighting a joy I have forgotten!
A classic from the Xbox 360 era, I remember the lobbies being pretty filled, zombies trying to infect the humans halo infection style. Last I heard this game had a sequel in development, and seeing it in this video it looks awesome. You might be able to catch a few other players still depending on the time you are playing, but sadly it seems pretty dead nowadays. Hopefully the sequel is able to catch an audience and that unique style will be able to be experienced again.
Most definitely! I'm very intrigued on their release price because given the skeleton of Murder Miners, they win over most Triple A title games now in my opinion. This is a beautiful combination of 2 elite games at peak gaming years
Actually my last comment reminded me of this COD Zombies + Minecraft mashup called CastleMiner Z. I might still exist like this game on Steam. It’s a relic of the past but it was less of COD zombie survival in a controlled space but actually a long journey from the initial spawn point that you had to travel out from to progress but you chose when to stop to mine and make shelter to get resources/upgrade. I was obsessed with the game for a bit as a kid and I wonder if it got the same update treatment!
OH MAN, I did play Castleminer back in the day! I wanted to make a GOAB on that game so bad but it's pretty costly for the video concept but I'll def play it soon. I never completed it and I wanted to so bad. I rarely remember it but I know that it had guns and Minecraft didn't and that was epic haha
I still play this game actively. Wish i could’ve been in the server when you played this. Hopefully you play this a lot more, because the different maps this game has is really awesome. They’re also coming out with a second game soon called murder miners x, which is basically the same game i think, but with much better graphics.
I was a joy to see you experience the game naturally, you basically got the best possible way of being introduced to it lol. My cousins had this game downloaded on their Xbox 360 for the longest time. We didn't play it all that much, but when we did play i loved it, 4-player splitscreen was awesome. I bought it on Steam last year and i had a super fun time going back into it and seeing that there was still a community around it and that it was still being updated. I'm really looking forward to Murder Miners X. Fun fact, on special events like anniversaries for MM, they host lobbies on the Xbox 360 version for people who still have it downloaded! Literally the best single-dollar game out there.
im not going to lie, murder miners might have genuinely at a time been the number one rated indie game on the store. i remember all my friends talking about it all the time and having to ask my dad to buy it for me for my birthday and having to convince him that microsoft wont steal his credit card information
Murder Miners is still one of the best LAN/budget games out there IMO! Runs on a potato, cheap as heck, and it is quick to download. Above all, it's incredibly well done and fun with a group of friends. I have been to several LANs that were completely taken over by this game because it offers so many fun game modes and modifications.
That's so amazing! They took the best qualities from Minecraft and Halo Reach and combined them together, Map making and zombies mode. I saw the videos about the zombies mode, and how you can play as the infected, this game is phenomenal for sure
I remember the creator of game messaging people directly on Xbox Live about new updates for the game, it's something I actually liked personally from them.
This game was goated on Xbox 360. Ngl, the description describes it as the best indie game on 360 and it probably was. "Indie" games were a seperate catagory on Xbox thatwere limited to under £5, "Arcade" was for below £15 and everything else were just normal...
Would love to see that game with more players, I can totally see myself playing that for hours straight. Seems like there's so somewhat of a playerbase, there's definitely a good chance that with some effort that could be revived.
IKR, we can only hope with the new release of Murder Miners X. I did join the discord and it's somewhat active with a dozen or so people, and the fact that they're still posting dev logs for the new game is promising!
It's crazy how we all collectively fell in love with this. Even without ever playing this, I had this amazing sense of Nostalgia and longing for childhood games. They were just better
You have no idea how nostalgic I felt when I saw murder miners. Forgot all about this game. Was just watching an old XBLA video before this damn man lol
Holy shit thanks for the nostalgia wave i remember playing the shit out of this i remember this one youtuber tomatogaming made a few videos playing it and that's really what got me hooked at the time and it's cool to see someone get the corpse out of the grave to have one last look at it.
I love this game, got it on the xbox 360 community games store a long time ago and used to play it with my brother all the time. Used to make maps for the game and met a lot of old friends through a shared love for this game, haven't spoken to them in forever though and I hope they are doing well.
Me and my group of friends occasionally play this still. Even cooler when we get other random people joining our lobbies, cool to see other people playing this game
That's true (gotta get a little clickbait title in there haha), but I am definitely looking forward to MMX, it'll be great to see what they provide new to the already epic game
murderminers was honestly one of my favorite games on the xbox360 indie games section, i probably dumped hundreds of hours of gameplay into it with my friends, just being a mix and halo just appealed so heavy to us... good memories, thank you for this
Long ago I made a hide and seek prop hunt map. I think It was actually very popular. I remember people starring like saving my map and hosting their own versions. It was awesome. Miss this game
This game was pretty insane for it's time, and still is. Map building with the miner gun is actually cool once you get the hang of how it works. The parkour mechanics make it so fun to jump/wall jump around maps. There are maps solely based on just parkour (some are pretty tricky, but well made). Infection mode is fun to play with others. It's like Zombie AI Horde except you can play as the zombie and use different abilities to kill surivors. The weapons are cool, too. The sword can also be charged up to thrust forward (which can insta kill others), and with the shotgun's secondary fire you can blend in with other blocks in your surroundings. For me personally, I can't wait for X to come out. This game was the best game I've bought during the Xbox 360 days.
I'm excited too! I wish I found this back in the day when I was playing with all my now lsot Xbox buddies. Super excited to showcase this for the MMX community, hopefully I get a lot more subs to expose them to a great community and game for the future :D
No shot! What are the odds! The one day, in a decade that this game has been out, that you decide to purchase the game and record a video, of this game that nobody has heard of, and can't possibly still be active. And then, out of the blue, after failing to join a lobby, you decide randomly to just host a public lobby, someone happens to be on the game, and just joins your game. Bro! I mean, what are the actual odds?! There's gotta be like, 30 zeroes after the decimal point before the first non-zero digit in them odds! A decade!!!
EXACTLY, I was genuinely so surprised! and then 2 others joined so maybe it wasn't as dead as I thought haha, Still such a nostalgic experience to have, really resonated with me :)
I remember a friend told me to buy this on Xbox 360 and it was so worth it. I remember we would set the guns to infinite ammo and no reload and we would spam the shotguns to fly around. This game pretty much carried the indie store and it was the most fun ever. It bums me out seeing that it's pretty much dead now.
A little bit late- Just got recommended this video, but yes. This game was for a long time The XBLA #1 game. That with Castleminer Z (which is also on Steam, but is a different experience from what I remember, it used to be popular since it used Xbox Avatars while the steam version you use some SWAT looking models) Things I still remember: •Looking down while sprinting gives you that massive speed boost you saw. Colliding against a wall causes an explosion, and yes, you can run over players if they are in the way. •You can wall jump without the space block; it is basically pressing the jump button against the wall after jumping. Nothing really special but thought to point out. •Sticky grenades are used when you press the grenade throw button twice in quick succession. •The hookshot usually brings you straight to the point, but you lose momentum instantly once you reach the destination. Changing weapons halfway through lets you keep momentum so you can fly through the skies. •I only remember 2 weapons have special uses - Dunno the buttom. But the shotgun allowed to use cammo, this making a 3 block tall (or 2 block if crouching) pillar of the block you're standing on. It didn't make you invisible. And the assault riffle would increase the fire rate to an uncontrollable degree. Perhaps the heat seeking rocket was the special of the rocket. These things still live with me rent-free on my head 😂 but my goodness. This was definitely one of the best indie games on its prime. The community was great, with so many amazing maps, the best ones made by "TheLargestDog" if I recall correctly. They were huge and packed with references and highly recommend perhaps checking them out yourself.
OMG I needed you to teach me these things when I first played haha. Now hearing all of those epic mechanics, really makes me believe this is the perfect game. I wish it was still as popular, also wish the developers charged more for such a wonderful game (maybe they could hire more developers and get the sequel Murder Miners X out faster, it looks so good). AND YES, I just watched the wonderful tribute to TheLargestDog, such a wonderful story about an impactful, passionate person. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge, it was nice to read :)
Yoooo cool to see someone else talk about this game! If yo want to play with other people, they host lobbies each week on their discord, and they're currently developing a sequel by the name of murder miners X
You watched the whole video? 🥲 But yes, I joined the discord and the community is beautiful, super excited about MMX now that I've seen some dev log videos
@MuffinManMLG fun fact, if you sprint and look straight down, you run really fast, and collision with other players damages them, another neat thing is that if you time a jump as you snap up a block you can carry the momentum from stepping up into your jump, they've made a ton of platforming maps from all the neat tech in the game
Damn I really missed out on the parkour aspect, I had put an hour into the game, I usually don’t go much longer than that for the video but when the 2nd game comes out, I’ll definitely touch on this, thank you!
@@MuffinManMLG I didn't even notice many of the games different mechanics before I played in the community games run by the discord with the Devs, very cool game and well made for live arcade era
I loved playing this game with my brothers it was so fun we actually once got a full lobby, which is surprising it was back in like 2019-2018, maybe idk but we had the most fun btw we played with my dad's gfs kids best times of my life
I miss playing Murder Miners so much, it was such a well made game for how small in scope it was. People made so many creative maps and the zombies mode was always intense. I've been waiting for Murder Miners 2 to come out for so long, and each update the devs make can only keep me sated for so long ;w;
i just saw the thumbnail and remembered when me and my friend found this on the xbox 360 store and bought it to see if it was good or another bad indie, fun times
I remember playing this way back in the day, I'm surprised it didn't come out before 2014, loved this game btw this was very high on the Xbox live indie arcade, right up there with CastleMiner Z
Omg yeah, I should have mentioned in the video how much this reminded me of CastleMiner Z, I loved that game so so much. I wish I found this game back then as well
A friend of mine introduced me to this a few years ago. The parkour is INSANE! Check it out, it's so fun and unique! Lots of custom maps for it, too I hop on every now and again to check for servers. It's always fun to play around. Surprisongly active for being completely inactive lmao. A sequel game is actually in the works right now called MMX (Murder Miners X)
Bro I need to play this game again, used to play it on xbox when it still had players, made some long lasting friends in that game that I still keep in touch with! I gotta play this game again
i remember playing this game on my xbox 360 as a kid. I remember playing on a recreation of Hoth and a destroyed city, those are the two places that stand out to me in my memory
Murder Miners was one of the best games I have played on the indie market place on 360. Luckily RGH can somewhat make me relive these memories. Some community maps can be accessed on a RGH.
Used to play Murder Miners back in the Xbox 360 days. The game was worth the 250 Microsoft Points or however much it was back then XD. I'm pretty sure the Dev is making a new version of murder miners or making an update or something for it. Randomly came across it again on TikTok.
Bro it had the grapple hook way before halo it was wild playing this with a bunch of people. And you can change the helmet with the arrow keys above your character
Finally this game is gaining a bit of love again I used to play this on my 360 alot and was clueless on how to play so I bought it for my computer and I'm glad I did Love the vid tho
i used to play his game back in the hayday on Xbox and making maps and making a server to play deathmatch on those maps was just the best thing ever i wish i could port my old maps to this new verson...
i play this game alot when i was a child on the xbox 360 i love to see someone making a video about it in 2024 man the good times thank you for this video

"Indie" games were a seperate catagory on Xbox thatwere limited to under £5, "Arcade" was for below £15 and everything else were just normal...
Dude just found one of the coolest games from my childhood, they are also making a new Murder Miners called Murder Miners X
first goab with a game i've actually heard of, saw simpleflips play this game once and it looked pretty peak
This is better than some triple A title games now 😅
Dude i've been looking for this game for YEARS, thank you sm
NP, I'm glad to spark so much joy and memories :D
Would love to see that game with more players, I can totally see myself playing that for hours straight. Seems like there's so somewhat of a playerbase, there's definitely a good chance that with some effort that could be revived.
IKR, we can only hope with the new release of Murder Miners X. I did join the discord and it's somewhat active with a dozen or so people, and the fact that they're still posting dev logs for the new game is promising!
@@MuffinManMLG Thats really good to see! Definitely gonna keep an eye on MMX then since that could be fairly interesting
This was my childhood brotha, murderminers will always be goated. 💯
YESSIR, can’t wait for Murder Miners X, it’s gonna be lit 🔥🔥
It's crazy how we all collectively fell in love with this. Even without ever playing this, I had this amazing sense of Nostalgia and longing for childhood games. They were just better
I'm glad you felt what I felt while playing :)
You have no idea how nostalgic I felt when I saw murder miners. Forgot all about this game. Was just watching an old XBLA video before this damn man lol
:)
Holy shit thanks for the nostalgia wave i remember playing the shit out of this i remember this one youtuber tomatogaming made a few videos playing it and that's really what got me hooked at the time and it's cool to see someone get the corpse out of the grave to have one last look at it.
:)
Its a shock to see this,
as I remember playing this way before B))
That's so awesome, I'm glad I could help you reminisce B)
I love this game, got it on the xbox 360 community games store a long time ago and used to play it with my brother all the time. Used to make maps for the game and met a lot of old friends through a shared love for this game, haven't spoken to them in forever though and I hope they are doing well.
3:53 Probably a reference to the Halo 3 "believe" ad campaign, a real small but nice detail
I didn't even know, epic realization!
Me and my group of friends occasionally play this still. Even cooler when we get other random people joining our lobbies, cool to see other people playing this game
Damn, that sounds amazing! You all could hop into their discord, they still host weekly lobbies i believe (if you wanted a few more random people :)
So much nostalgia. I remember hopping on with my friends to just fuck around on split screen all the time.
used to play this game near nightly with the homies, love this shit
Apparently, they still host weekly events in the discord and it's still popping on the weekends!
The game is still alive just a very small community and when murder miners x comes out it might be the next hell divers or even the halo killer!
That's true (gotta get a little clickbait title in there haha), but I am definitely looking forward to MMX, it'll be great to see what they provide new to the already epic game
murderminers was honestly one of my favorite games on the xbox360 indie games section, i probably dumped hundreds of hours of gameplay into it with my friends, just being a mix and halo just appealed so heavy to us... good memories, thank you for this
also the fucking music sent me back into a part of my childhood i never thought i could possibly remember
Halo was peak gaming, I wish I found this game when I was younger! Music is such a strong nostalgia hit for sure :D
YOO I REMEMBER MURDER MINERS :DDD
i used to play this shit with my family and cousins all the time, the memoriesss
Sounds like the best of times 😄
I have memories of playing this game online on the 360 when I was young but I thought it was a fever dream
YOU AINT DREAMING
I remember playing this a lot on Xbox Indie Games. Still has one of my favorite Zombies/Infections mode.
For sure, I think it's so cool that you can just make your own map to play zombies on
Long ago I made a hide and seek prop hunt map. I think It was actually very popular. I remember people starring like saving my map and hosting their own versions. It was awesome. Miss this game
Damn that sounds so epic! You might have to do a remake for the new Murder Miners X coming out!
You got to respect how much money he spends just for us
😂😂 I love this comment
10 years later and we have a sequel in the works.
YES! So excited!
@@MuffinManMLG Can't wait for this game to be more populated than Infinite lol
@@megaman37456 😂 so true
Surprised you don't got a million subs! Keep it up my man. Enjoying the content.
*is less than five minutes into the video*
Keep it up!
Thank you so much, it truly means a lot :)
We need to see the bruh again
WE MUST!
This game was pretty insane for it's time, and still is. Map building with the miner gun is actually cool once you get the hang of how it works.
The parkour mechanics make it so fun to jump/wall jump around maps. There are maps solely based on just parkour (some are pretty tricky, but well made).
Infection mode is fun to play with others. It's like Zombie AI Horde except you can play as the zombie and use different abilities to kill surivors.
The weapons are cool, too. The sword can also be charged up to thrust forward (which can insta kill others), and with the shotgun's secondary fire you can blend in with other blocks in your surroundings.
For me personally, I can't wait for X to come out. This game was the best game I've bought during the Xbox 360 days.
I'm excited too! I wish I found this back in the day when I was playing with all my now lsot Xbox buddies. Super excited to showcase this for the MMX community, hopefully I get a lot more subs to expose them to a great community and game for the future :D
No shot! What are the odds! The one day, in a decade that this game has been out, that you decide to purchase the game and record a video, of this game that nobody has heard of, and can't possibly still be active. And then, out of the blue, after failing to join a lobby, you decide randomly to just host a public lobby, someone happens to be on the game, and just joins your game. Bro! I mean, what are the actual odds?! There's gotta be like, 30 zeroes after the decimal point before the first non-zero digit in them odds! A decade!!!
EXACTLY, I was genuinely so surprised! and then 2 others joined so maybe it wasn't as dead as I thought haha, Still such a nostalgic experience to have, really resonated with me :)
@@MuffinManMLG I am envious. That is the sort of experience that will be remembered for a very long time.
Just hop on in an old game, I'm sure you'll feel the experience instantly :)
@@MuffinManMLG Oh yeah. I don't why that doesn't occur to me.
:)
I have been looking for this game for months as i used to play it all the time as a kid but couldn't remember the name, thank you so much
Ayyyye np :D
This brings back so many memories of me playing this with my friend on the 360
I remember a friend told me to buy this on Xbox 360 and it was so worth it. I remember we would set the guns to infinite ammo and no reload and we would spam the shotguns to fly around. This game pretty much carried the indie store and it was the most fun ever. It bums me out seeing that it's pretty much dead now.
That's epic, always wonderful to have a great memory, they are making a sequel called Murder Miners X (that's something to look forward to :)
@@MuffinManMLG yea I really hope some of the community comes back. Full zombies lobbies were awesome. Glad u were pleasantly surprised by the game
That's one of those games that make you sad to know they may not even have a cult following.
It has a small community from what I’ve seen.
@@Real_Digiwigi Yeah, I noticed that after seeing the comments. I wrote this while watching the beginning of the video.
A little bit late- Just got recommended this video, but yes.
This game was for a long time The XBLA #1 game. That with Castleminer Z (which is also on Steam, but is a different experience from what I remember, it used to be popular since it used Xbox Avatars while the steam version you use some SWAT looking models)
Things I still remember:
•Looking down while sprinting gives you that massive speed boost you saw. Colliding against a wall causes an explosion, and yes, you can run over players if they are in the way.
•You can wall jump without the space block; it is basically pressing the jump button against the wall after jumping. Nothing really special but thought to point out.
•Sticky grenades are used when you press the grenade throw button twice in quick succession.
•The hookshot usually brings you straight to the point, but you lose momentum instantly once you reach the destination. Changing weapons halfway through lets you keep momentum so you can fly through the skies.
•I only remember 2 weapons have special uses - Dunno the buttom. But the shotgun allowed to use cammo, this making a 3 block tall (or 2 block if crouching) pillar of the block you're standing on. It didn't make you invisible. And the assault riffle would increase the fire rate to an uncontrollable degree. Perhaps the heat seeking rocket was the special of the rocket.
These things still live with me rent-free on my head 😂 but my goodness. This was definitely one of the best indie games on its prime. The community was great, with so many amazing maps, the best ones made by "TheLargestDog" if I recall correctly. They were huge and packed with references and highly recommend perhaps checking them out yourself.
OMG I needed you to teach me these things when I first played haha. Now hearing all of those epic mechanics, really makes me believe this is the perfect game. I wish it was still as popular, also wish the developers charged more for such a wonderful game (maybe they could hire more developers and get the sequel Murder Miners X out faster, it looks so good). AND YES, I just watched the wonderful tribute to TheLargestDog, such a wonderful story about an impactful, passionate person. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge, it was nice to read :)
Yoooo cool to see someone else talk about this game! If yo want to play with other people, they host lobbies each week on their discord, and they're currently developing a sequel by the name of murder miners X
F commented before seeing that he saw the new one in development lol
You watched the whole video? 🥲
But yes, I joined the discord and the community is beautiful, super excited about MMX now that I've seen some dev log videos
@MuffinManMLG fun fact, if you sprint and look straight down, you run really fast, and collision with other players damages them, another neat thing is that if you time a jump as you snap up a block you can carry the momentum from stepping up into your jump, they've made a ton of platforming maps from all the neat tech in the game
Damn I really missed out on the parkour aspect, I had put an hour into the game, I usually don’t go much longer than that for the video but when the 2nd game comes out, I’ll definitely touch on this, thank you!
@@MuffinManMLG I didn't even notice many of the games different mechanics before I played in the community games run by the discord with the Devs, very cool game and well made for live arcade era
I loved playing this game with my brothers it was so fun we actually once got a full lobby, which is surprising it was back in like 2019-2018, maybe idk but we had the most fun btw we played with my dad's gfs kids best times of my life
Holy FUCK I was not expecting to see this haha, so frickin cool seeing someone just freshly discovering this game, makes me wanna play it again
Oh man, it was so refreshing to even relive the graphics, truly a gem
I miss playing Murder Miners so much, it was such a well made game for how small in scope it was. People made so many creative maps and the zombies mode was always intense.
I've been waiting for Murder Miners 2 to come out for so long, and each update the devs make can only keep me sated for so long ;w;
Yes, it’s the perfect combo of Minecraft and halo, I did see how the updating running animation looks so clean
bro i played murder miners back on xbox 360 and even got it again on xbox sx i loved this game when i was younger and still do wish it would come back
THEY'RE MAKING A SEQUEL (Murder Miners X)!!!
i just saw the thumbnail and remembered when me and my friend found this on the xbox 360 store and bought it to see if it was good or another bad indie, fun times
truly is the #1 rated xbox indie game
Literally if you play long enough tricat will come and judge you from out of bounds
This game was so hype between the wait for Halo 4.
I remember playing this way back in the day, I'm surprised it didn't come out before 2014, loved this game
btw this was very high on the Xbox live indie arcade, right up there with CastleMiner Z
Omg yeah, I should have mentioned in the video how much this reminded me of CastleMiner Z, I loved that game so so much. I wish I found this game back then as well
A friend of mine introduced me to this a few years ago. The parkour is INSANE! Check it out, it's so fun and unique! Lots of custom maps for it, too
I hop on every now and again to check for servers. It's always fun to play around. Surprisongly active for being completely inactive lmao.
A sequel game is actually in the works right now called MMX (Murder Miners X)
I'll definitely check it out when I play again! I never expected to find anybody on such an old game but yeah it is very active for being so old
I hope this sparks revival in the game, this game is gen amazing
the childlike wonder of watching you play brought me back
That sounds fantastic :)
This looks pretty decent actually. I might give it a whirl to see if I can find The Bruh.
Oh man, I played this a lot back in the Xbox 360 days. The devs are actually working on a sequel which looks pretty good.
YES, it does looks so good, the devlogs on their TH-cam (www.youtube.com/@JForceGames/videos) and you can see the improvement!
Bro I need to play this game again, used to play it on xbox when it still had players, made some long lasting friends in that game that I still keep in touch with! I gotta play this game again
That's amazing! Best time to get it is now, as it's so cheap!
murder miners is unironically really sick
this comment is unironically factual
most underrated game on steam easily, still love mm
So many good times with my 360 friends playing this.
It is pretty funny that TH-cam says this is Minecraft. Pretty good find! 👍
I saw that 😂
I would say its pulse is very very weak... If you join their server it will help keep you updated on any available servers.
For sure! I saw they have an LFG channel and host events for others, pretty sweet
i remember playing this game on my xbox 360 as a kid. I remember playing on a recreation of Hoth and a destroyed city, those are the two places that stand out to me in my memory
Those sound so epic hahaha, sounds like Halo's Valhalla
i love buying a dozen fifty cent games on steam trying them out and returning the ones with no redeemable qualities
That must be a thrill, I love doing the GOABs to see what amazing games I'm missing out on
Fucking love Murder Miners
one of my favourite games on 360
hurts me today knowing its so forgotten, but murder miners x will change that for sure
Fill is disabled because ppl would spam it and annoy everyone
That makes sense haha, crazy how this game has better building options than Minecraft
Murder Miners was one of the best games I have played on the indie market place on 360. Luckily RGH can somewhat make me relive these memories. Some community maps can be accessed on a RGH.
Used to play Murder Miners back in the Xbox 360 days. The game was worth the 250 Microsoft Points or however much it was back then XD.
I'm pretty sure the Dev is making a new version of murder miners or making an update or something for it. Randomly came across it again on TikTok.
That's so awesome! 250 Microsoft Points is ludicrous for the amount of content, games were just made better and with more care back then
Bro it had the grapple hook way before halo it was wild playing this with a bunch of people. And you can change the helmet with the arrow keys above your character
OMG I never knew! I was wondering why the other players had cooler helmets
Shout out to the bruh LOL actually such a charming game! Seriously a gem, awesome video dude :)
The bruh is an untamed soul, searching for even the subtlest taste of nostalgia…
The experience was a gem to me as well as the game, thank you (:
Finally this game is gaining a bit of love again I used to play this on my 360 alot and was clueless on how to play so I bought it for my computer and I'm glad I did
Love the vid tho
That's amazing! It really is a fantastic game, made at the best time with the most effort
Loved this comment tho :D
i used to play his game back in the hayday on Xbox and making maps and making a server to play deathmatch on those maps was just the best thing ever
i wish i could port my old maps to this new verson...
YOU CAN, I just googled it and on the steam forums, someone said they have a tutorial on how to do it in their Discord!
RIP The Largest Dog ❤
Indeed, only learned about him through the comments. There's some good memorial videos on TH-cam, RIP The Largest Dog
@@MuffinManMLG we used to play a lot back then in 360 days
i play this game alot when i was a child on the xbox 360 i love to see someone making a video about it in 2024 man the good times thank you for this video
I’m so happy you enjoyed it and the joy/memories that I hopefully rekindled, thank you for the words (:
the nostalgia just touched me big time
:)
Murder miners was childhood used to play it back in the glory days
