Our take on Jackal
Raids take place in casino hotels with randomly generated rooms, and the combat rejects stealth in favor of direct attacks using guns, furniture, and other objects.
What is Jackal?
Jackal is a top-down action game about attacking casino hotels controlled by the Las Vegas mob during the 1970s.
It focuses on direct close combat rather than stealth, with guns, furniture, and other items used as weapons. Raids include randomly generated rooms, varied enemy types, unlockable drug superpowers, stackable gameplay mutators, finishers, and period weapons. The game has a psychedelic noir story about a hitman and a supernatural associate navigating a mob-filled Las Vegas, with each housecleaning job connected to the next. Locations draw on the city’s casino-hotel setting, while changing room generation and combat options shape the raids.
