The exact specifics are unclear, but that doesn't matter too much-the plot elements are kept to a minimum, as the game focuses most of its energy into frenetic and satisfying action.Īt the start of each mission you equip one of four guns-a pistol, SMG, rifle or shotgun-and are then unleashed in a top-down level to kill everyone inside it.

The Hong Kong Massacre aims to replicate the experience of a gun-kata-action scene, where characters shoot while diving through the air, performing acrobatic feats as they blow each other's brains out.
