Julius Styles: The International

Julius Styles: The International is a result of cooperation between Lapland, Elstree Productions, Red 27 Films, and Wesley Snipes, an American action movie star. The game is inspired by the roles of the actor in such films as The Art of War, Murder at 1600, and Passenger 57.

The action of Julius Styles: The International takes place in modern times. The protagonist is an agent working for the mysterious Assembly organization, which brings together the most influential businessmen from all over the world. His tasks include eliminating unwanted competition, performing economic espionage, and effectively persuading politicians into making decisions that are beneficial to the contracting authorities. Styles' unique skills result from the combination of academic knowledge with the skills of coping in the field.

The game combines elements of adventure and action games. Following the protagonist's actions, the player explores multiple locations, interacts with NPCs, eliminates traps and opponents, and solves a number of more or less complex puzzles (mostly in the form of mini-games).

Julius Styles: The International has simple 2D visuals and the action is shown from the top-down perspective. Player's progress in the story is illustrated by atmospheric, comic interludes. It is worth noting that the protagonist model is a digital representation of Wesley Snipes himself.

Annotation: the game was released in an episodic form on smartphones and tablets. Developers, however, suspended work on the preparation of previously announced console ports.
