Cohen 1939

Cohen 1939 is a top-down action game set in Birmingham’s criminal underworld. You play as Elisa, who hunts those responsible for her husband’s murder in a story of betrayal.

Combat

Enemies die quickly, but so do you. Read their positions, choose when to strike and use your aim, movement and judgement to survive each encounter. You can stun an enemy with an empty gun, take their weapon and keep moving, chaining gunfire, throws and melee attacks.

Characters and tactics

Four playable characters have different abilities, including sliding shots, focused fire, raven summons and rage. You can approach enemies from a blind spot or make noise to draw them toward you, choosing where a fight begins and who goes down first. A careful approach can create an opening.

Birmingham’s underworld

Rain-soaked streets and smoke-filled hideouts provide the setting for Elisa’s hunt. Sharply dressed gangsters stand between her and the people responsible for her husband’s death.
