It is filled with easter eggs, references and nods to well-known movies by Sergio Leone, Sergio Corbucci or even Quentin Tarantino or Robert Rodriguez
Heavily outgunned and outnumbered, Jack will need help from a few rather unusual allies to even the odds. In the land with no laws, from deserted anthills and dusty mines, through badland battlefields to treacherous swamps, he’s on a hunt for the Calaveras gang. And they are wanted alive…or dead.
Gameplay
The game is almost fully hand drawn in a distinct comic book style. The main protagonist – bounty hunter Jack, is voiced by legendary Elias Toufexis (Adam Jensen from DeusEx series) and on his journey, he meets more than 15 fully voiced and rather peculiar characters.
Always outgunned, hide behind covers, exploit the environment, suck the blood of your enemies and make sure that you’re the last bug standing by using 12 active and 3 passive abilities in 3 different paths; The Good, The Bad or The Ugly.
