![]() In other tasks, you have to return to areas you’ve already cleared in order to obtain an item that someone wants. I could have an upgrade, but I had to spend three minutes walking around, talk to specific people who were highlighted so as to be impossible to miss, and then return to the quest-giver. There was no interruption, no surprise attack, zilch. I went there, spoke to each person, got the goodies, then returned. In one, I was asked to get three ingredients for a chef, all from the same town area. Side missions are also available, but most are little more than fetch quests that offer literally zero challenge.

The equivalent of a one-inch punch sends enemies horizontal across the screen, taking others with them, and a dragon kick can assault them from the side or from above their heads. The animation is incredibly fluid and very satisfying indeed.Īs well as the sheer variety of weapons you can pinch (including a rocket launcher for some hefty AOE damage), Liao has a series of special fighting moves which use up your stamina bar. Transitioning from battering a guy, grabbing his rifle, spinning and shooting enemies approaching from behind, cartwheeling over and snagging a massive axe from a meathead and then using it to send a cluster of goons flying - well, it sounds complex, but it is all done with a few button presses. Even though Liao’s knife attack seems basic, it’s bolstered by the ability to use his sash to whip the weapons out of any of his opponents’ hands once they’ve taken a few punches.
