Jackal

Jackal is a fast-paced action game set in 1970s Las Vegas, where you play a hitman accompanied by a supernatural associate. In a psychedelic noir story, the pair take on mob housecleaning jobs, with each one bleeding into the next as reality slips into a bad trip. You storm the city’s criminal underworld openly, tearing through crime families and looting their vaults.

Raids and combat

There is no stealth or hiding: you move faster than thought, overpower armed enemies and use whatever is at hand to keep fighting. Sofas and other objects can become weapons, alongside an arsenal of 1970s firearms. Reloading slows you down, so combat focuses on improvised attacks and finishers.

Each raid changes through randomly generated rooms and stackable gameplay mutators. You can unlock drug-fueled superpowers, face a variety of enemy types and use an arsenal of brutal finishers. Iconic Las Vegas locations and weaponized items offer different settings and tools for each run.

Story and setting

The game evokes smoke-filled rooms and acid-laced jazz in a Las Vegas shaped by the mob. Its story follows the hitman and his supernatural associate through a series of violent jobs, where reality itself may be part of the trip.
