A cold-pixeled killer.

Metrocide, a relentless top-down single-player arcade stealth-shooter with strong alkaline cyberpunk flavor, is available 15% off for the first week, for Windows and Mac OS X, on GOG.com.

In Metrocide, you are a contract killer T.J. Trench, seeking to buy your way out of Metro City, the cyberpunk dystopia where everyone wants you dead. You will have to negotiate a fierce and brutal city replete with gangs, vigilantes, cops and more, taking out the trash one contract at a time. While cop drones circle overhead, you’ll be sticking to the alleyways with a variety of weapons and plantable explosives finding new and unique ways to get away with murder most foul. But one single slip-up will cost you. There are no respawns here – when you’re dead, you’re dead. Duck and weave through the claustrophobic streets and alleys as a living city does its best to stop you breathing - permanently.

This game is HARD. Too hard to start with for very little pay off, I reckon. There aren't many strategic options open to you either. It feels a lot like chance with the odds stacked too highly against you.

Yikes, I would get destroyed in seconds it looks like.
Nice release.
It's a better idea than it is a game. Buggy and constant crashing, plus weird imbalanced gameplay. If you draw your gun, all hell descends. If your victim draws their gun, it can be up to ten minutes before the police arrive.

It has moment, but I can't really recommend it.
