It's rather a relief to find an old-school game that got rebooted and they didn't make a complete mess of it. A lot of the gameplay style is fairly old-school "keep-on-moving-and-don't-stop" with fairly open levels (yes there is cover, but things like cars will work as much against you as for you if you're not careful), AI that isn't that intelligent (often comes straight at you and only tries to flank at the last moment) and generally not so secret secrets (providing you take the time to explore the whole map.)

For the more modern player, you have the choice of whether/how to upgrade weapons, skills or even your katana abilities which gives quite a bit of flexibility in how you play. You can also use much of the scenery as a weapon e.g. roll barrels down a hill and shoot at them to make them explode or fire at abandoned vehicles to take out large groups at once.

My biggest irritation is the inability to fathom what's safe and what's not as there seems no consistency in how scenery is treated. e.g. on some maps, you won't find secrets unless you go for a swim whereas on others if you dip one toe in the water it's instadeath. You'll find yourself dying an awful lot more than you should if you have an inquisitive nature as a result.

As a player of the original I also miss the old Lo Wang accent, but the fact there are less of the cheesy one-liners is probably a good thing in this day and age. It's also more than made up for by the fortune cookies and their contents.

The whole is something which is neither completely old or new and somehow manages to get away with being enough of both that it should appeal. Well worth a go if you haven't yet.

Really addictive little puzzle game. Heaps and heaps of levels for the price including daily level sets.

Really simple little game that will appeal to pyromaniacs everywhere and well worth buying in a steam sale if you get the chance.

The game itself involves burning items for cash to buy more items to burn for even more cash and discovering the hidden combinations of items to burn together. There is a storyline, but you'll find yourself playing more for the thrill of burning different items to see what effects they produce at least as much if not more so than this.
