In Prohibition-era Thugtown, mobster Vinnie Cannoli searches for a missing friend and answers about a zombie outbreak. His path brings him into conflict with zombies, rival gangsters, and soldiers.
Move through side-scrolling levels, platform over hazards, and fight through groups of enemies using guns, grenades, and kicks. Shooting is aimed horizontally, so positioning and timing matter during crowded encounters and boss fights.
Pick up and switch among weapons including pistols, shotguns, machine guns, and a flamethrower as you progress through the story. The campaign can also be played in local co-op with up to four players.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its hand-drawn art and animation, humorous mobster style, varied weapons, and period-inspired music. Some also enjoy the fast, compact action and playing locally with friends. Other reviews describe the controls and horizontal aiming as limiting, and find some boss fights or difficulty settings frustrating; the short campaign is a plus for some and a drawback for others.
Welcome to Thugtown circa 1920, the height of Prohibition.
Prepare yourself for a non-stop, action-packed, completely over-the-top, fast-paced, platform game. Set against the gangster heyday of the roaring twenties. Lose yourself in an exciting, elaborate tale of the underground and underworld. Experience friendship, betrayal, vengeance, and witness first hand the rise and fall of a criminal mastermind.
This is survival horror, wiseguy style... Capiche?
"Leave the gun, take the cannoli... actually, on second thought, take the gun and eat the cannoli, you’re gonna need it."
