Like a heist gone spectacularly wrong, developer Ingame Studios’ debut effort is a magnificent mess. While its slick shooting can make for some enjoyable crime capers in its two co-op modes (which we’ll revisit in more depth next issue), the unpolished presentation of its single-player campaign makes it difficult to wholeheartedly recommend.
It’s the height of the 1990s and there’s been a shakeup in the seedy underbelly of Rockay City. The leader of the town’s biggest criminal faction has died and rival gangs are trying to assert control of his former territory. It’s the perfect opportunity for a rookie criminal to make it big, the core premise of the single-player story mode. Dubbed Baker’s Battle, this roguelike campaign thrusts you into the shoes of Travis Baker, a wannabe crime lord.
