Mere Mortals

Mere Mortals at a Glance

If you are browsing PlayPile looking for information on British developer Mere Mortals, you will find a studio that operated from 2003 to 2010. This company formed after the closure of Beyond Reality in 1999. Their catalog on this site contains 23 titles, with 21 developed in-house and three published under their label. The bulk of their work appeared during the 2000s, accounting for 20 games, while only three projects emerged in the 2010s before they seemingly went quiet. The studio had a clear focus on licensed sports and casual games. Racing titles made up the largest portion of their output with eight releases, followed by sport games at four and puzzle titles also at four. They released content for card and board games, arcade experiences, strategy, quiz trivia, platformers, simulators, and turn-based strategy. Their platform distribution shows a heavy reliance on Sony hardware, as 19 of their 23 games appeared on the PlayStation 2 alone. The remaining releases were scattered across PC, PSP, Nintendo DSi, Xbox 360, Wii, and various other PlayStation generations. Quality metrics for Mere Mortals are not strong. They have one rated title on PlayPile which holds an average IGDB score of 53.3 out of 100. This single rating falls into the mixed category. There are no great or good titles listed in their history according to this data, and they lack any poor-rated entries simply because there is only one review to consider. The highest-rated game is PDC World Championship Darts 2008 from 2008, which shares that 53.3 score. Other notable releases include Extreme Sprint 3010 in 2007 and a series of Pocket Pack titles released in 2010 such as Aquattack! and Pocket Pack: Words & Numbers. The output volume dropped significantly toward the end of their active period. While they were consistent in the mid-2000s, the years 2010 saw only three releases before their activity ceased. Their library is defined by a specific era of licensed sports games on the PlayStation 2, but the lack of high scores suggests these projects did not meet critical acclaim standards.
