Early Access Release
This is a GTA Online-esque massively multiplayer open world action-adventure set on the vibrant streets of Sleeping Dogs' Hong Kong. Using its fun blend of driving, gunplay and hand to hand combat, your aim is to rise through the ranks and become the kingpin of the triad world. There are a variety of different ways you can gain money and power, such as hacking, laundering, abductions, stick-ups, street racing, extortion and many others. Cars are a big factor and they follow the model as format as GTA Online with you able to steal random cars around the city, or unlock specific cars permanently via missions or by purchasing them. Car handling is similar to Sleeping Dogs, and the nifty ability of being able to leap between moving cars makes a welcome return too. As well as familiar vehicle based gameplay, the satisfyingly visceral and fluid hand to hand combat carries over too. You'll unlock skills and weaponry over time too as you level up and work towards becoming Hong Kong’s number one badass. With massively multiplayer gameplay and a few unobtrusive F2P elements, it can be compared to GTA Online as it's an online open world game but in reality it feels very different thanks to its rpg-esque leveling system, bone crunching combat and larger focus on narrative. The game will shut down on January 20, 2016. |
