The Pillage

The Pillage drops you into a city with a small knife, a large weapon and the urge to kill people and collect their kidneys for rewards. You can play casually or strategically, and the game rewards every play style.

The city and its inhabitants

Citizens may report crimes they witness to the police, who act on the information they receive. Gangs leave you alone unless provoked, and may attack you or other gangs when stimulated. Nearly everything is procedurally generated, including buildings, the sky, the ground, AI characteristics and physical features, mobility, gang spawns, ghosts, and the dynamic difficulty curve for police spawns.

Weapons and perks

You can buy weapons in a shop using kidneys. Fast-attack and power-attack weapons can each be swapped, with multiple weapons available in both categories. Achievements let you purchase character perks, including more starting health, longer slow-motion, double-jumping and increased speed.

Special abilities

You can unlock four special abilities: summon crows from the sky to kill people, become enraged to gain speed and invulnerability, spawn sidekicks to fight alongside you, or summon a large eye that kills anything within range.

Scores and sound

A global leaderboard tracks player scores and provides a breakdown of each score. The game also features a theme and soundtrack by David Sherman, along with sound effects from Vawlt.
