Those holding melee weapons can block thrown objects, whilst those with swords can even block bullets. A railgun, throwable knives and pencils, wooden boards with nails through it there’s a lot of new variety to what you’ll be hitting enemies with, though the railgun is the only new firearm. The katana also now deflects bullets back at the shooter, which is as cool as it is ludicrous, especially when combined with the hack that reflects all bullets back to their respective shooters when you hit just one of them.Īs empowered as you now are, enemies also have a few new tricks. There is a wealth of new items and weapons with which to murder and maim. Combine the katana recall core with a hack that makes the blade bounce between enemies on its way back to you, and you’ll feel almost unstoppable! Cores are powerful and whichever one you choose can be further complemented by hacks. The ability to charge towards an enemy and punch them is an early one, but my favourite is beginning with a katana that you can recall after you’ve thrown it. You begin with a core that gives you three hearts instead of two, but you’ll soon find different cores that grant abilities in place of that extra heart. If hacks are where you tailor the game to suit a playstyle, cores are where you choose one. You’ll begin with a few and unlock more as you find them on the level select grid.
With the relevant hacks, you can throw knives and katanas right through enemies, jump on enemies to kill them, or increase the power of your punches. Hacks can be as simple as replenishing your hearts, but can also be significant modifiers to the game, ranging from reducing the cooldown between your shots to causing thrown objects to explode on impact. The main benefit comes between the levels, where you will occasionally get to pick a hack.
