Independent Polish studio Transhuman Design, founded by Michal Marcinkowski, the creator of the legendary Soldat, has specialized in creating action games. This includes Jackal, realized in a style reminiscent of the bestselling Hotline Miami, but also Quentin Tarantino's films, among others.
In Jackal, events are viewed in a top-down view. The action of this title takes place in 1970s Las Vegas, and here we play the role of a drugged-out hitman hunting the Mafia. The game's driving force is heists, during which we traverse the streets of the city of sin and facilities like casinos (the locations consist of procedurally generated rooms) and fight numerous adversaries.
We eliminate enemies using our own fists and white weapons, throwing objects such as vases at them, as well as using firearms (such as shotguns and pistols). During shootouts and brawls we have to be in constant motion (which is made more difficult by the fact that reloading weapons slows down the protagonist) in order not to get hit, while at the same time firing accurately and effectively pacing enemies. We can send the unlucky adversaries to the other world, carrying out bloody executions.
The game implements a system of modifiers, which affect the gameplay in various ways. Their effects can be combined with each other.
The graphic design of the Jackal game is kept in a cartoon style reminiscent of movie posters from the 1970s. The voice of the main character was lent by Matthew Curtis, known from I Am Your Beast.
