Tackle For Loss
Drawing inspiration from the likes of Hotline Miami and Taken, Tackle for Loss sees players take on the role of a former American football pro battling through a criminal underworld in order to rescue his kidnapped daughter. Bruised, broken, and haunted by concussions, players will have to use raw instinct and explosive strength to make it through the journey unscathed.
Tackle for Loss has a fast and brutal combat system inspired by American football's four-down rule: limited moves, no room for error, keep moving forward at all costs. With only four offensive actions available on each floor of these multi-story building stages, players will need to study the layout of the rooms ahead of them, plan their route, and then commit to the drive. Combat is built around a brutal twist on American football's four-down rule: you get four tackles – total – to clear each level. No button mashing. Just four perfectly placed tackles between you and the end zone. Sounds impossible? It kind of is.
Every character in the game, including the main protagonist, will die in one hit, making every floor a high-stakes puzzle of speed and accuracy. Rapid restarts allow players to immediately get back into the action, honing their strategy for the ultimate run.
