In the words of the developer: Shoot, smash and never stop. Followed by a lovely chaser of burning your enemies alive with a flamethrower! Pleasant. Not to mention doing drugs, eating chillis, and drinking liquor. Meaning you’ll be dashing through doors as well as your enemies. Honestly, I’d be lying if I said a part of me wasn’t worried about the level of stereotyping going on here.Īlternatively, go in with no plan of action at all and choose a path of rage. As well as sombreros, or blending in with a bush.
