The cel-shaded art style is done well and is unique, with vibrant colors popping out at the player. A layer of difficulty gets added due to health and ammunition not getting carried over from level to level. Past that, there’s not really much else to the gameplay loop. John Wick Hex is epitomizes the saying: “Use your time wisely.” Conclusion This is limited as well, but it regenerates slowly as time passes. There’s also the ‘focus’ gauge, which modifies various factors during gameplay. Once again, picking up a new weapon takes in-game seconds as well, in which all manner of things can happen in the environment. Oftentimes, switching between guns dropped by enemies is a necessity. Bandages are a limited resource, and using them takes precious in-game seconds. Within the core gameplay, there’s, of course, health, which bandages can heal. Players looking for a more significant challenge will find a mode that only gives the player 5 seconds in each pause cycle to decide on what move to make next.
Through this system, John Wick Hex gives off much faster-paced gameplay than its cousins, which fits given the game’s pedigree. Using this timeline system is a unique take on the more traditional turn-based tactical RPGs. Any intended actions will appear in a hypothetical timeline displayed at the top, even providing raw number outputs. It’s up to you the player to decide what actions to perform to best subvert the enemy within the given timeline. An intended action is shown, and the timeline extends. The enemy’s timeline is shown under yours. There weren’t many graphics settings to adjust (to be entirely fair, there’s not much to modify of what I would describe as John Wick Hex’s cel-shaded style), and after adjusting some audio levels, I was good to go.įamiliarity with the timeline is the key to success in John Wick Hex Setting the Pace I always consider that a plus, as it give me the chance to tweak graphics and audio settings before being thrust full-force into the game. The main menu greeted me upon first booting the game up.

Is John Wick Hex worth your time and money? Find out in our review below.īithell Games provided a review code for John Wick Hex for this review. And quite frankly, it was very successful in its mission. But, crazy as it may sound, Bithell Games’ John Wick Hex manages to distill the action of the film franchise into a top-down, tactical, almost-turn-based game. If you were to tell me that one of the most fast-paced, well-choreographed action films out there was to be converted into a game format where actions happen second by second, and pause by pause, I would have called you crazy.
