Fallen Aces is an upcoming shooter from New Blood Interactive that appears prefer it’s from the Thirties however clearly performs prefer it’s from the Nineteen Nineties. That is factor, for the document—or no less than it’s on this case.
The brand new 9 minutes of gameplay premiered at present throughout Realms Deep 2023, and exhibits what appears to be a slice of Fallen Aces’ opening moments. Protagonist Mike wakes up in his condominium, clearly hungover, falls away from bed, eats a sandwich, after which he will get a telephone name about how lots of people wish to kill him, apparently. What follows is a violent extravaganza as Mike combines stealth karate-chops to the neck with first-person brawling to battle his manner out of the constructing and throughout the neighborhood to his good friend’s place. There’s even a bit the place he picks up a knocked out dude and throws him at one other dude. I like that bit.
We first obtained a have a look at Fallen Aces again in 2020, when it was introduced. On the time, PC Gamer’s Andy Chalk mentioned it regarded “like a mix of Condemned: Felony Origins and Dick Tracy comics.”
“The A.C.E.S.,” begins the official recreation description. “Watchful guardians of Switchblade Metropolis. Being taken down, one after the other. Now it is as much as one man, with two fists, to resolve all of it.” Appears good to me.
I am fairly curious concerning the cool pulp world they’re spinning up right here. Given no less than one screenshot, there are certain to be appearances by these “A.C.E.S.” individuals, who look extra like masked pulp superheroes ala The Shadow, The Phantom, or Inexperienced Hornet than hard-boiled detective Mike, apparently Fallen Aces’ protagonist.
You could find Fallen Aces on Steam, the place it does not but have a launch date. It is made by developer duo Trey Powell and Jason Bond, and has an oldish demo you may play for those who like demos.
