The Math Problem Killer

The Math Problem Killer is a tactical action game in which you play a hostage rescue operator with the Tactical Response Unit. You fight through dungeons filled with armed gang members to reach and rescue hostages held by the Math Problem Killer Gang in New Columbia. Each dungeon has 5–7 rooms, with a gunfight in every room.

Hostage rescue missions

The gang is named after its sadistic leader, the Math Problem Killer. In the first chapter, which covers missions 1–12, each operation introduces an innocent civilian taken hostage before sending you into one of the gang’s strongholds. Each stronghold contains over 90 heavily armed gang members, and your only weapon is a Task Force-issued silenced pistol. You must reach the hostage at the end of the dungeon.

Tactical room-by-room combat

You watch for threats on every side, peek around corners and aim down your pistol’s sights. Getting hit once kills you, and you restart at the checkpoint at the beginning of the room. You must clear each room without being hit to reach the next checkpoint.

Optional recordings

You can find recordings left by the Math Problem Killer throughout the strongholds. He recounts how he captured and tortured his victims, as well as bragging about his exploits. The recordings contain disturbing accounts of murder and violence toward men, women and children, but listening is entirely optional; rescuing the hostage is your only objective.
