Our take on The Detroit After
Players seeking narrative depth will hit the wall when the game moves quickly past its brief story material. Those who need combat beyond shooting, kicking, door-breaking, and rifle strikes may also find the arcade structure limiting, especially when damage reduces movement speed.
What is The Detroit After?
The Detroit After is a top-down shooter in which an advanced robot carries out secret missions against a rival technology company.
The 15-level campaign uses firearms, door-breaking, kicks, and rifle strikes against cops and mercenaries. Damage reduces movement speed, adding a combat penalty when the robot is hit. Chips found during the journey provide different upgrades. Each level has its own music track, while the arcade-focused structure keeps the story short and avoids extended cutscenes or dialogue. The setting moves from Detroit’s violent streets to the luxurious offices of Techmann, the competing company. Enemies can greatly outnumber the robot, making battlefield assessment and concentration part of the challenge. The game centers on direct, fast-paced action rather than lengthy narrative sequences.
