How it feels

A gritty, slow-paced brawler where you methodically beat down thugs in dark, crime-ridden streets as a masked vigilante.

What players say

Players mostly enjoy this as a short, old-school beat 'em up, especially in co-op, though many find it repetitive and simplistic alone. The art style and tie-in story fans like the comics get praise, but the unresponsive camera, lack of combo depth, and repetitive enemy waves draw complaints.
