But a max-stamina fighter could do comparable damage per second with a flurry of lesser attacks - and I saw plenty of chained, juggling strikes that fighting game fans will recognize. Hart’s character, in the playthrough, went 3-5-2, for example, with his core being the top attribute. Players can work up a match-to-match character build that emphasizes certain areas of their wrestling prowess. Other pick-ups supply perks or modify one of three core attributes - arms (power), core (health), and legs (stamina). “ has all the chicken on a squat rack, and he just dips it into the fire,” Hart explained. It’s available from a drive-thru window for “Squatch Chicken: The Home of Slow-Squatted Chicken.” There’s also plenty of roasted poultry, the international sign of video game health since Castlevania and Gauntlet.

While sneak attacks are possible, normally this is mutually initiated combat. “You can kind of watch them fight or have a, you know, emote conversation with them across rooftops.” Of course, at some point they’ll start throwing down. “When you see somebody in this game, they’re not a threat to you just because you’ve seen them,” Hart said. But because there are no guns - “except the ones attached to your arms,” says lead designer Adam Hart - Iron Galaxy’s developers hope the fighting will more engaging and more entertaining than the fast-twitch, shoot-or-be-shot immediacy of Fortnite or PUBG Battlegrounds.
