This alternate-history FPS has a great core concept, but its reach exceeds what the execution can live up to - Original review continues here but see bottom for post-2024-05-14 update amendment. There's a lot to like here - the levels are a decently large size and allow a fair amount of sneaking around, there's a pleasing variety to the weapons, and the shooting is generally satisfyingly chunky. You generally won't get away with just trying to tank your way through. Unfortunately, there's also a lot of bad jank - ranging from "the pause menu doesn't pause the game properly" and "while it handles non-1920x1080 resolutions, it doesn't scale the UI properly when it does so and you will lose relevant HUD information as a result", through "level design has a number of invisible walls that block your shots for no reason" and "for some reason you can't retain your weapons from one level to the next" and all the way to "if you aren't careful, reloading a weapon and switching it for another w...

About This Game
This game is a single player, alternate history themed FPS. Based on Ned Kelly, an Australian outlaw in the 1880s.
Story
About 140 years ago, Ned Kelly and his gang were on the warpath of vengeance against corrupt police, greedy land barons and an ignorant government in Australia 1880.
Certain events over the course of Neds life got him into a lot of trouble with the police, and many say Ned and the gang, were falsely accused of various crimes. They survived a shoot out with police in 1878 that resulted in the gang being declared outlaws, with the largest reward ever offered in the British Empire for their capture – dead or alive.
Eventually the authorities were on the hunt for the Kelly gang, but they had ideas of their own. Their plan to derail a train which was full of police, and then declare a republic of North East Victoria. They donned the famous cumbersome heavy metal armour against an overwhelming police presence. The plan was ruined by Thomas Curnow who flagged down the approaching police train with a red scarf.
The game kicks off where the real gang met their end at the final stand.
