What's going on guys :) Heard a lot of things about this game and decided to try it out, this is Hatred by Destructive Creations.
It's a top-down Postal-eque game that has violence and death in spades. You play as one pissed off dude who just wants to see the world and the people who inhabit it burn to ashes.
The premise is a linear level by level design incorporating a variety of weapons and explosive devices. Your targets are innocent, unarmed and fear-induced citizens and the police officers who respond to the hell that you put those people through.
There are some objectives that when completed, will give you respawn tokens which can be used to, well, respawn if you die. If you have no respawn tokens, you have to start the level all over again.
The only bit of narrative is that of these small objectives. The rest of the game is basically point, shoot, and repeat.
I'm not crazy about this game, but that's not because of the violence. There have been many games in the past even more violent than this, and hey - it is what it is. What makes this an uninstall for me is the sheer linearity of the plot, the absence of a narrative or story, and very little reward other than feeling like a complete psychopathic bad-ass on the war path. And that feeling fades away pretty fast. Add to that no checkpoint system, lack of customization options, and really just a lack of purpose, and it's hard to keep going with this game.
Fun for jumping in and out, responsive gun play and cool explosions and destructive environments. I also do enjoy the noir feel, as it really brings the darkness that envelops you throughout your journey to light, so to speak. Other than that, unfortunately, this is just another casual romp in the sea of many other games out there that don't do anything interesting, but seem to give you a small dose of whatever it is you were looking for. Trouble is, we always come back for more, and there's only so much you can get out of a game like this.
Hope you enjoyed this, make sure to subscribe and comment with your ideas and suggestions!
