Today’s Spotlight is The Hong Kong Massacre, a brand new top-down shooter by VRESKI.

As the name implies, The Hong Kong Massacre is heavily influenced by John Woo action flicks. You can check out the launch trailer above.

You play as an ex-detective that goes on a bullet time-infused rampage of revenge on the gang that murdered your partner. Dive and dodge around in slow motion with a pistol in each hand as you massacre entire rooms full of criminals.

The Hong Kong Massacre is available on Windows PC (via Steam) and PS4 for $19.99.

Here’s a rundown of the game:

Blast your way through the streets of Hong Kong in a fast-paced, top-down shooter.

Inspired by classic action movies, The Hong Kong Massacre places you at the center of a hard-boiled revenge story, filled with brutal, cinematic shootouts and vivid underworld locations.

Take on the role of a former police detective bent on exacting vengeance for his partner’s murder and use of a mixture of raw firepower, slow-motion and dive/dodge mechanics to tear your way through the criminal ranks.

Dive through windows or dodge behind cover – every shot is lethal, so stay aware of your surroundings and exploit the environment however you can.

When the heat is on, you can slow down time and plan for the next move. Avoiding bullets whilst taking out enemies is crucial for survival – but beware, your slow-motion ability is limited: plan fast, think ahead and bring down the bad guys unscathed.

Each level features a range of challenges, allowing you to to unlock new weapons as you progress, trading bullets from restaurants to rooftops across a moody, crime-riddled city.
