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 Nineties. That is an excellent factor, for the report—or a minimum of it’s on this case.
The brand new 9 minutes of gameplay premiered at the moment throughout Realms Deep 2023, and reveals what appears to be a slice of Fallen Aces’ opening moments. Protagonist Mike wakes up in his residence, clearly hungover, falls off the bed, eats a sandwich, after which he will get a cellphone 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 combat his means out of the constructing and throughout the neighborhood to his pal’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 take a look at Fallen Aces again in 2020, when it was introduced. On the time, PC Gamer’s Andy Chalk stated it seemed “like a mixture of Condemned: Legal 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 unravel all of it.” Appears good to me.
I am fairly curious in regards to the cool pulp world they’re spinning up right here. Given a minimum of one screenshot, there are positive to be appearances by these “A.C.E.S.” folks, who look extra like masked pulp superheroes ala The Shadow, The Phantom, or Inexperienced Hornet than hard-boiled detective Mike, apparently Fallen Aces’ protagonist.
Yow will discover 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’ll be able to play when you like demos.
