Shakedown: Hawaii

You play a struggling CEO trying to revive his company by building a corporate empire across a tropical island. The story and missions parody shady business practices, consumer culture, and corporate marketing.

Explore the open world on foot or by car, taking on missions that mix shooting, driving, sabotage, and intimidation. You can also roam freely, tackle side activities, and play as three characters as they become available.

Buy businesses and other properties, complete activities to secure more acquisitions, and expand your income across the island. The game also offers challenge and free-roam modes, along with options to customize characters and vehicles.

Players often enjoy the combination of fast-paced, top-down action and buying up properties, with the growing business empire providing a satisfying extra goal. Humor and satire about corporate behavior are frequently praised, as are the colorful retro visuals. Some players find the missions too short or repetitive, and a few say the game loses challenge once income builds up.
