Christofer Sundberg is one of the founders of Avalanche Studios, which became famous mainly for the Just Cause series. In 2019, he left the ranks of his company and a year later founded another one, Liquid Swords. Over time, he was joined by other veterans from his previous team, and their debut work became Samson: A Tyndalston Story, an action game with a noir convention.
In Samson: A Tyndalston Story we view events from a third-person perspective (TPP). The production puts at our disposal the title city, consisting of districts with an open character, which we traverse on foot or behind the wheel of vehicles.
The driving force of the game is the orders accepted by the title character. Their completion is necessary for him to be able to pay off the debt he owes, but to complete them we need action points, the number of which is limited. Therefore, not all opportunities to earn money can be exploited here, which forces us to make difficult decisions on what to do and what to ignore.
The matter is further complicated by the fact that the city reacts to our actions on an ongoing basis. What we do and for whom we do it determines how the various characters relate to us. In addition, time works against us here, and with each passing day the interest on the loan taken out by the protagonist grows.
As befits an action game, during the gameplay we take part in spectacular chases, as well as fight against enemies. The driving model is arcade-like, with an emphasis on making spectacular jumps and drifting corners.
As for the combat scenes - both the criminals shaking the city of Tyndalston and the police trying to maintain order on its streets stand in our way. The protagonist excels in close quarters combat, eliminating enemies with his own fists and kicks or by using improvised white weapons (such as gazrurekas).
As you progress, you not only accumulate the resources needed to pay off your debt, but also develop Samson, unlocking various upgrades that increase his chances of success.
Samson: A Tyndalston Story tells the story of the titular Samson McCray, who returns to the hostile town of Tyndalston to settle his past. Settle literally, as he is burdened by a debt incurred with dangerous people who force him to repay the loan, using his sister to do so. Wanting to save her, the protagonist must do everything in his power to get the required amount.
