Fallen Aces is a first-person crime-noir game set in Switchblade City, where the A.C.E.S. are being targeted. You play as detective Mike Thane as he investigates the violence and corruption around him.
Work through mission-based levels by sneaking past gangsters, confronting them in close combat, or using firearms when available. Explore buildings and streets for alternate paths, useful supplies, notes, and secrets.
The environment is part of your toolkit: improvised weapons include objects found around each level, while melee weapons wear down and ammunition is scarce. A limited inventory makes you choose what to carry, and the story is structured as an episodic Early Access game.
Reviewers often praise the hand-drawn comic-book look, noir atmosphere, and levels that reward exploring alternate routes and hidden areas. Many also enjoy improvising with environmental objects in combat and the colorful gangster dialogue. Some reviews criticize the slow delivery of episodes, and a number report bugs, performance problems, or less polished level design in a later episode.
Enter a world of heroes, villains, crime, corruption and betrayal!
