The recent release ofMass Effect: Legendary Editionhas brought the entireMass Effect Trilogyto fans in one bundle, but some fans appear to still be creating mods for a single game of the three. OneMass Effect 3fan has pieced together a striking mod that transforms the game’s primary villains, the towering alien Reapers, into the adorable and iconic Imposters fromAmong Us.
Created by YouTuber Mentlegen’s Meme Emporium, the mod changes all Sovereign-class Reapers into Imposters, creating a surreal atmosphere. ThisMass Effect 3mod can be found on Nexusunder the title “Among Us Reapers,” but the creator also put together a six-minute-long video showcasing footage from the mod that may have to be seen to be believed.

The video, which gets quite loud about 10 seconds in, begins byinsertingAmong Usmemesand reactions into aMass Effect 3cutscene showing Reapers crashing one of Shepard’s meetings. The result is a bizarre tonal whiplash between the dead seriousMass Effectcharacters and the increasingly bizarre tone of Among Us. Even the arrival of a massive red Imposter dropping from the sky is treated as a very real threat by theMass Effectcast, although fans may find it more hilarious than ominous. If the rest of the video is anything to go by, Mentlegen’s Meme Emporium appears to agree.
The rest of the video appears to be parodying the infamous animeNeon Genesis Evangelionwith the use of the song “Komm, süsser Tod,” which plays over scenes of Shepard fighting the giant Imposters on foot. Unfortunately for Imposter fans, while the giant versions may be genuinely intimidating as they tower over Shepard, they do not appear to use any ofAmong Us' iconic kill animations. Instead, they simply use giant lasers like the original Reapers. It does not appear that this mod has impacted any of thedecisions required forMass Effect 3’s best ending.
It appears that fans of both games are reluctantly impressed by Mentlegen’s Meme Emporium’s dedication to the joke. Not only is the video description just a copypasta rambling about howAmong Usis ruining the writer’s life, but the video also ends by having Shepard apparently wake up in the iconic opening ofSkyrim. Although clearly a joke mod based onAmong Usmemes, thisnewMass Effectmodhas received quite a bit of praise in the comments, including from one user who stated that it reflects howAmong Usmemes have ravaged the internet.
Mass Effect: Legendary Editionis available now on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
