Jackal Builds On Hotline Miami With Physics And Unscripted Kills

Jackal is a top-down action game set in 1970s Las Vegas, where a drug-powered hitman raids mafia strongholds. Its combat leans on physics simulation: kicked tables and knocked-back enemies kill on impact, and collisions between enemies produce chain reactions. Enemies also hurt each other, swinging into allies or crossing a comrade's line of fire. Enemy AI aims and reacts more slowly than in Hotline Miami.
