How it feels

You play as an unstoppable wrecking ball tearing through Vegas crime families with no regard for stealth or subtlety.

What players say

Players compare Jackal to a druggy mashup of Hotline Miami and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, praising its surreal story and soundtrack but criticizing its short length, janky physics, and randomized levels as weaker than the games it copies. Many say the price is too high for a 2-hour experience.
