When it comes to performance – no-one likes a rubbish performing game now, do they? This game performance was flawless, a testament to the developer and it’s testing staff. I don’t remember an indie game soundtrack being this memorable since Hotline Miami or Velocity 2x. There are so many great tunes in this game some of them really got stuck in my head too, at times I could hear them when doing other things. The music is so good I may even look for a copy to listen to outside of the game – a sure sign when you know it’s a solid soundtrack. Grungy beats, synth-laden basslines and snappy electronica combine into a really funky and enjoyable soundtrack. The soundtrack in this unique title is superb also. The art style fits the game perfectly and it would not work any other way. It really is beautiful – a lot of people turn their nose up at pixel art but I know that every pixel has been lovingly crafted by its artist and I love it. You can see the difference from its predecessor immediately because the artwork is much more detailed and complex. The game uses very clean and bright pixel art, both in-game and in the hilarious cutscenes. Graphically the game is a massive step up from Retro City Rampage, even though the style is the same. Shakedown: Hawaii has some really silly mini-games Great visuals and sounds These challenges are littered through the map and often have you doing something completely mental. For example, I had one challenge that required me to use a rocket launcher at close range to vehicles to see how far I could propel myself across the street. There are also the previously mentioned mini-games and challenges that really drive home the madcap action this game has to offer. The missions are over the top too explosions, fires and complete carnage ensue at every turn. Not many games encourage driving into traffic and pedestrians but this game does and it rewards you for it – it’s insane. The mad story and characters go hand in hand with the game’s over the top arcade action, too. I can just sit back, laugh and enjoy the ride. Getting stuck into this title between some of the very heavy triple-A titles I am playing at the moment is a breath of fresh air. The story will not win any Oscars by any means but as I said earlier it’s nice to play through a game that’s not serious and knows it. There are jokes and references all over the place and I really enjoyed the story and its various uncanny characters. It made me laugh a lot, it’s all very absurd and over the top whilst still being very novel and enjoyable. Shakedown: Hawaii still retains the trademark humour that I loved about the previous title. There are some very questionable ways to get to the top Humorous arcade action Even if some of the things you have to do to achieve this goal are questionable at best. Watching your profits and business rise back to glory is rewarding and enjoyable. It does get quite addictive taking over the map and exponentially getting more things to do. Some businesses you buy have additional jobs or side missions associated with them and some businesses unlock more things in their relevant area of the map. It’s a nice little system that I had a lot of fun with. ![]() This bolsters your real estate portfolio and increases the amount of cash you get on a daily basis. It’s your job to drag your company back into the modern era, mostly by using criminal and frankly illogical methods to turn your company’s fortunes around.ĭuring your time in Shakedown: Hawaii you will be buying, upgrading and conning businesses into your possession. Things such as streaming and online shopping have squeezed the profits down to nearly nothing. While he has been squandering the cash, the company’s services have been overtaken by more modern practices and technologies. In Shakedown: Hawaii, you play an ageing CEO who has run his company into the ground. So when the opportunity to review Shakedown: Hawaii came in, I jumped at the chance. It was fun to play, not overly complicated and a nice little title that is like nothing else on the market. The writing was humorous and the game did not take itself too seriously. I loved it’s easter eggs and its nods to classic video games and video game culture. I really liked Retro City Rampage, I enjoyed the over the top arcade action and its absurd humour. Developer VBlank have finally unleashed Shakedown: Hawaii, the follow up to the 2012 retro open world game, Retro City Rampage.
