A colorful distraction
If you miss games like GTA2 or Hotline Miami, then Tokyo 42 is definitely a good game to try. It has an open world - basically the rooftops of some kind of a futuristic city. The city is controlled by a number of weird gangs (like nudists). The protagonist travels around these rooftops doing crime-jobs for various characters, much like in GTA, but the world here is more radiant-looking and picturesque. The combat is fast-paced, but the bullets are slow, so at a certain point the shoot-outs look somewhat like a puzzle. There is a variety of weapons, each type useful in a different kind of situation. What is not so good about the game? There is the main idea of changing the isometric perspective. You can change the angle of the camera and at first it seems to be interesting. But in all the missions that involve timer, this whole angle thing becomes a torment. You get stuck on street furniture and lose the task altogether because you didn't shift the camera fast enough. Also, I realize this is an indie title and all, but this vibrant rooftop world has such a great potential while being somewhat shallow as the story unfolds. There is so much more to tell about all of these gangs and evil corporations, but so often they are just there - without much of a backstory or agenda. Still, I think, it's a good game for an evening or two.
Hilft dir das weiter?
