Kane and Lynch: Dead Men is the new action shooter franchise by Io-Interactive, creators of the multi-million selling Hitman series. Kane & Lynch: Dead Men follows the violent and chaotic journey of two men - a flawed mercenary and a medicated psychopath - and their brutal attitude towards right and wrong. This volatile partnership combined with innovative technologies allow for an unparalleled gaming experience.
Kane & Lynch: Dead Men immerses players in an emotionally intense crime drama with unflinching action. Io-Interactive's proprietary technology delivers fluid high definition graphics and lighting; highly destructible environments; massive crowd AI; a cinematic interface; and non-stop dialog between Kane and Lynch.
Tense and unpredictable experience - This is the violent and chaotic journey of two men: a flawed mercenary and a medicated psychopath. Each hates the other but must work together to save themselves and possibly the ones they love.
Violence erupts in meticulously created 'safe' worlds - Realistic and responsive environments and crowds react when events get of out control. Crowded nightclubs and calm bank offices become scenes of sudden terror. Manipulate the environments and crowds strategically to complete objectives.
Wide variety of intense 3rd person game play - Rappel from buildings; fire on the run or from moving vehicles; launch surprise attacks, lay down cover fire, and shoot blind from around corners; and hurl smoke, tear, and incendiary grenades.
Fast and intuitive combat - Lead a crew of criminal mercenaries to increase your chance of surviving and reaching your goals. You can also fight alone as your crew AI will automatically draw fire, throw grenades, lay down cover, and engage in close combat with their own signature moves.
I found the game crashed a few times. And I don't see the windowed option in the options. If anyone has ways to make this more stable and a launch option for windowed mode, that'd be great
I played the 2nd game when it came out and it was okay I really like the getaway/robbery side game.
I wasn't sure what to expect in this game, I walked away over all dissatisfied.
I am not sure but it seems like there should have been another mode of play given there is a "drop money" and "view score" key bindings but never seems to show up in game play.
Game is kinda rough, the main character "Kane" is a horrible, talks to everyone like they're garbage.
The story is disjointed and plays out like scenes from a movie, very scripted, don't even bother trying to explore anything, A.I is terrible on both sides there could have been a great squad tactical shooter here but instead you end up ding 90% of the work even when giving your men orders to kill a specific target.
It's not all bad though there are a few spots in the game where the shoot outs are well done.
I feel like this game had so much potential that was unrealized.
You can't skip most cut scenes, I musta watched the one near the end (without spoiling) a dozen times before giving up and asking google how to get past that part of the game.
it's a rather short game so like it or hate it you'll not be here long.
A lot of the story is just left hanging, your team, Lynch .. so much unanswered.
There are 2 endings and I was unsatisfied with both of them.
Replay value is pretty low you might play a few of your favorite levels again but not something you'll be coming back to again and again.
It's not a bad game but could have been so much more, I don't know if it was time or just poor design choices but it's a real shame it didn't live up to it's potential.
PS, I played on win10 and had stuttering freezing issues, look for a fix using a dx8input wrapper dll.
It's also mentioned in the gog forum.. shame gog does not have this fix already applied.
This game looked far better as a concept than what I actually ended up playing, I know it's an old game and all, but the gameplay was hardly enjoyable, specially on the second half of the game, shooting enemies is pretty janky, crazy bullet spread, etc.
Story was salvageable if anything, got a few interesting scenes on the first half too, also lost interesting in it as the game progressed.
I can see why anyone would like this one though, I just didn't myself.
The game has well-written, strong, and enigmatic main characters who are also very ruthless and brutal. The plot is like a class-B action movie but with many memorable sequences. The area where the game sucks, are the mechanics: stupid enemy and friendly AI, poorly implemented cover system, and bad shooting mechanic (for example only automatic reload, really?). Plot and characters were the only things that got me hooked and wanted to continue.If you can forgive many flaws, I still recommend it.
