The story follows several factions with different motives as their paths intersect in the aftermath of violence from the first game. Their episodes unfold across a larger, non-linear narrative.
Play through top-down levels where a single hit can end a run. Use firearms, melee weapons, and executions to clear rooms, learning enemy positions and adjusting your approach as you go.
Playable characters bring different abilities and combat styles, while new weapons and moves add variety across missions. A level editor lets you create and share custom stages using game assets.
Reviewers often praise the driving soundtrack, the variety of playable characters, and the layered, intersecting story. Many also enjoy the repeated attempts and route-planning that can turn a difficult room into a satisfying clear. Others find the larger levels frustrating, especially when enemies can shoot from off-screen, and some describe the story as confusing.
