A brutal action game by the creators of such productions as Killer7, No More Heroes, Lollipop Chainsaw, and the Shadows of the Damned. It was first on PS4 in 2016. In the free-to-play game, we take part in brutal fights in which various weapons are used: from batons, through saws, to pistols. First, we have to create a fighter, though. Starting out, we have nothing but our bare fists – not even clothes. With progress, we gain access to weapons and clothing. The impatient can use the micropayment system that lets us buy equipment at any moment. It puts you in the role of a poor soul who - while under the guidance of a skateboarding grim reaper named Uncle Death - is tasked with climbing a tower filled with enemies and traps. Initially your character is just running around in their underwear, so it's paramount you find more powerful pieces of armor or weaponry to increase your chance of survival. You'll have to manage your character's bodily needs as well, scavenging for food to replenish health. It's defining mechanic is "death data." If your character dies, you lose everything and are sent back to square one. However, your previous character and every item and weapon that was on them at the time of death is saved to it's servers and circulated throughout other player's games. Other players can then encounter the spectral remains of your previous character as a powerful enemy. Likewise, in your game, you can run into the ghosts of the characters of other players. |
