Description
The Detroit After is a violent and ruthless top-down shooter with an emphasis on action and fast-paced gunplay. Shoot, break down doors, kick enemies, stun them with the butt of your rifle to complete your missions. Equipped with a powerful new A.I. and extraordinary strength, you will work in the shadows by eliminating the killers of a powerful rival company using the various weapons you will find along your way.
• You play as a very tough and advanced robot.
• 15 levels of pure action.
• Fast-paced gameplay.
• Devastating weapons.
• Find new chips for various upgrades.
• Each hit slows you down.
• Each level has its own music track.
• Arcade oriented. The story is told in a short and simple way and does not break the rhythm of the game.
• A journey from the violent streets of Detroit to the luxurious offices of Techmann, your company's competitor.
• Cops and mercenaries, both will be your enemies. They will try to destroy you in every way.
In a world increasingly dependent on computers, Hi-Tech companies battle with technological innovations to reach an ever greater number of customers.
The need to open up to new markets in order to continue to grow and compete in an increasingly aggressive way, pushes some of these companies to invest heavily in robotics and artificial intelligence.
You will embody the result of these incredible technological advances. A robot that will be used to "facilitate" the rise of the company by carrying out various secret missions.
Obviously the police will not stand by as you sow death and destruction and it will be another obstacle that you will have to remove if you do not want to be stopped.
A lot of skill and concentration will be required to pass the tests that await you. The enemies will be in great numerical superiority and you will have to carefully evaluate the battleground. You will have to resist all attacks if you do not want to be considered a bad investment and be deactivated by your own creators.
You are a big step forward in the field of robotics.
Could it possibly be too far ahead?
How far is the society that built you to accomplish its goals willing to go?
Will these great technological advances only benefit a few?
Could there be too much power deriving from these technologies?

Enough talk! Now it's time to shoot!
I hate giving this game such a low rating, but the things I don't like outweigh the things I do. I like the pace of the game, the action. The gunfights require some stealth, and I love that. However, there are some things that really drive me crazy. The menu beep sound is one of the most annoying sounds I've ever encountered in a game. You can't change some keys, like the Target Lock key. Some levels, the later ones, are extremely difficult. Enemies have a 99% hit scan. They're projectiles, but they're so fast that you have to do everything perfectly to finish the later levels. Sometimes you shoot at the enemy, and if your mouse points at them but isn't perfectly centered on their body, your shot is useless. The clearest example is when an enemy is in a corner or on the edge of a door. You have vision of their body, you aim at them, but your shot won't do anything. These and a few other things have driven me crazy, replay same level over and over, and over, which is why I'm giving it such a low rating.
This game is simple and straightfoward as hell, and its very fun. Great great music and the levels feel good in my opinion, tiny details etc. The story is also simple beeing the whole game a love letter to 80s sci fi vibes. You could also consider this game a "The Terminator Simulator", cause its exactly what it is.
Do not expect much more than short direct simple action and good music cause the game doesn't offer more than that, but taking in consideration the price, I think is a more than worthy purchase if you are looking for that. I enjoyed it a lot and I honestly recomend any 80s sci fi fan to take it and play it, you will feel like home. And if you just like top view action games, try it too, its fun!
I really hope to see more of this guy(s)!
A couple of QOL points and bugs turned me off of this.
The gameplay is fairly fun but the aesthetics make it difficult to track with what's going on all the time.
I appreciate being able to take multiple hits, but it slows the overall pace of the game down; where Hotline Miami was a whirlwind of bloodshed and near misses and repeated use of the R key, Detroit is a bit more of a creep. Somewhat like Intravenous but with all the imsim elements gone and goony AI that runs facefirst at gunfire and sometimes just sits on a couch until you mosey up and hit them with an axe.
Hit a bug in a level where knock-downs and executions were encouraged where my legally distinct T-1000 would get stuck and force a reload of the level. This persisted. I stopped using melee.
The cut scenes, which depict, accurately, the depravity of your bog standard tech bro and their callow little minions, play super slow, dialogue cannot be sped up, and you can only skip the entire scene. That alone would stick on another star if it were fixed. I actually was kind of into the story. It's dark as hell. A lot like Terminator: The First.
Overall, neat homage, worth it on sale, but would be a lot better with a couple minor fixes.
Its a simple and yet decently fun game. However Often your player character gets stuck after melee kills. This requires you to restart to the begining to the level if no enemies happen to be around to kill you and reset you to the last checkpoint.
