Our take on Recession
The central premise suggests a multiplayer robbery game, but solo bot play and two modes are also part of the package. The listing gives less attention to how those modes differ, so the overall scope may appear more varied than the stated details establish.
What is Recession?
Recession is an asymmetric multiplayer shooter built around a four-versus-one robbery.
Four criminals collect money bags from locations such as banks and convenience stores, carry them to an extraction point, and defend the haul from one police officer. The cop uses heavy armor and military-grade weapons, attacking the escaping criminals through force or stealth. Criminals and police have different play styles, and the maps are asymmetric. The game uses a low-poly, flat-shaded visual style and includes character customization. Solo play is available against bots, either offline or online with up to four friends. Two game modes support matches against human opponents or computer-controlled characters.
