story3 positive mentions
gameplay3 negative mentions
  • Engaging retro-style third person shooter combat with fast, arcade-like action and a mix of melee and shooting mechanics.
  • Interesting gameplay elements such as stealing money, driving a muscle car, and exploring a lawless city enhance immersion and add variety.
  • Unique atmosphere with a revenge-driven story and surreal narrative elements, combined with a distinct old-school crime game vibe.
  • The car driving mechanics are problematic, feeling overly sensitive and causing frustration due to uncontrollable drifting and low vehicle durability.
  • The open world city feels empty and underdeveloped, lacking NPCs, meaningful side activities, and world interactivity, which reduces immersion.
  • Combat can become repetitive due to lack of enemy variety and AI issues, such as enemies not reacting realistically to gunfire or deaths nearby.

  • gameplay

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    25% positive mentions, 37% neutral mentions, 38% negative mentions

    The gameplay centers on third-person shooting with a variety of flexible combat mechanics like melee moves, stealth, and cover systems, enhanced by the integration of money as a gameplay element. While the shooting mechanics and overall system are enjoyable, some players find the gameplay lacking in engaging content and depth, with a desire for a more vibrant city and additional activities. Upcoming updates promise expanded maps, storylines, and features, indicating potential growth.

    • “One thing I really liked is that money is actually part of the gameplay.”
    • “The perspective from third person allows you to do various melee moves, crouching for better aim, rolling, sliding, cover gameplay, headshots, stealth grabs, and things of that nature, so actually a nice flexible system; there are similar games, but usually not with all of these together.”
    • “There are some rough edges in the gameplay and presentation, and I often wanted the city to feel more alive and have more things to actually do.”
    • “The gameplay, on the other hand, needed tweaking.”
    • “The main gameplay is built around third person shooting, and there is plenty of it.”

  • story

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    75% positive mentions, 25% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The story centers on a revenge-driven narrative featuring a surreal alter ego narrator, blending crime and action elements. While the current plot provides character and depth, there is potential for expansion with new maps and additional features. Some users suggest adding engaging side quests to enrich the story and gameplay experience.

    • “The story is also built around revenge, with a strange nightmare-like alter ego acting almost like a narrator as I work my way through the criminal world.”
    • “The combination of shooting, stealing money, driving around the city and chasing a revenge story gives it a decent amount of character.”
    • “The developers have planned a new map, a larger storyline and additional gameplay features, so there is definitely room for the game to grow.”

  • music

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The music in the game is well-received and considered fitting, with users suggesting the addition of a car radio feature to allow players to switch tracks, enhancing the overall experience.

    • “I enjoyed the shooting mechanics and the music was very fitting.”
    • “Add a visible radio button for game's soundtrack to improve the hub area and car riding experience.”
    • “Add a visible radio button for the game's soundtrack.”
    • “With a way to switch music :).”

  • atmosphere

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The atmosphere is characterized by a distinctive old-school, retro crime game vibe that users find enjoyable. Maintaining and expanding this unique setting could enhance the overall experience significantly.

    • “The setting has a strange old-school atmosphere that I actually enjoyed.”
    • “If the developers continue adding content while maintaining the strange retro crime game atmosphere, I think there is potential here for something much more enjoyable.”

  • humor

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game's humor is light and occasional, contributing some amusing moments, especially through side quests. However, it could be expanded to make certain areas, like the hub, more engaging and entertaining.

  • optimization

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 50% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game appears to have some optimization issues, particularly with the city area seemingly using more GPU resources than necessary, despite not requiring the listed minimum GPU. While these inefficiencies don't significantly impact gameplay, improving optimization could enhance overall performance.

    • “It seems the game does not need the GPU that you listed for minimum, but there seems to be some optimization issues that don't actually affect the game, like the game seems to use more GPU than it needs, especially in the city part.”

  • graphics

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The graphics feature a strong foundational design with a visually appealing art style that enhances the overall aesthetic.
