Tokyo 42

Tokyo 42 is an isometric action game for PC, PS4 and XONE. The project was developed by SMAC Games and published by Mode 7, the studio behind such titles as Frozen Synapse and Frozen Cortex.

Plot

The action of Tokyo 42 is set in the futuristic version of the eponymous city. We assume the role of a killer who, while performing his lucrative contracts, uncovers a scheme that can change the fate of the world forever.

Mechanics

The action of Tokyo 42 for PC, PS4 and XONE takes place in an open world that we observe from an isometric camera. However, the developers allowed the players to rotate the camera by 90 degrees in any direction which is possible thanks to the fully three-dimensional graphics. As a result, we have no problems with visibility – they were typical of many two-dimensional productions of this type.

While on missions, the killer we control uses a rich arsenal of weapons and gadgets. He can also drive vehicles. Missions are can be completed in different ways. The player can go in with guns blazing, or focus on a more stealthy approach.

The gameplay is enriched by the fact that crowds of ordinary citizens move around the maps. In some cases, it makes completing a task harder, while in others, it is helpful to, for example, shake off a pursuit. The available levels are also patrolled by the law enforcement forces that will try to neutralize us if we break the law within their sight.

Game modes

Tokyo 42 for PC, PS4 and XONE offers both a single player campaign and a multiplayer mode that lets us compete against other players on small, enclosed maps.
