About COP BASTARD
COP BASTARD is a classic first-person shooter set in Osaka in the early 1990s. You play a tough detective blasting through waves of yakuza, in action modelled on gritty 90s films. The solo developer cites Max Payne and F.E.A.R. as influences, and the whole game is filtered to look like a worn VHS tape.
It cuts out everything but the shooting: no puzzles, no perks, no upgrades, no aiming down sights and no character builds. Fights happen in tight corridors, nightclubs and offices where quick reflexes decide whether you live, and you can spit in enemies' faces.
The game is made by a solo developer, targim., and published by Retrovibe. A free demo is on Steam and the full game is listed as coming soon. Steam lists blood, gore and strong language.
