Gameplay

Funko Fusion is a third-person action-adventure video game supporting up to four players, in which the player takes control of various Funko Pop! figures. Following the rise of the malevolent Eddy Funko, the player character travels across the "WonderWorlds"—levels based on settings and scenarios from different pop culture properties—completing missions, battling enemies, and collecting vinyl to manufacture new Pop!s and tools the player can use to progress through the game. Playable characters are equipped with both a melee weapon and a long-range weapon for use in combat and destroying objects in the surrounding environment. The player character can be swapped at Funko Pop! display boxes located throughout a level's map and in the game's hub world. The game includes various characters from different Universal Pictures films and television series, as well as characters from Invincible , Valve's Team Fortress 2 , Capcom's Mega Man , Scott Cawthon's Five Nights at Freddy's , Colonel Sanders from KFC, and Big Boy from Big Boy Restaurants.
