For the last two decades, the vast majority of World War 2 games have been first-person shooters. ProbablyMonsters’ upcoming title, Nekome: Nazi Hunter, is going to buck that trend with its single-player third-person experience. In the first teaser for the game, the main character demonstrates his abilities by fatally stabbing a Nazi soldier.
The lead character’s name is Vano Nastasu, and he’s not a soldier. He’s a Romani who was persecuted by the Nazis and was subsequently unable to prevent his family from being murdered. However, Nastasu survived and now the hunted has become a hunter himself. His story of revenge will play out behind enemy lines across Europe during the war.
According to ProbablyMonsters, this game was inspired by grindhouse cinema. Players will be able stalk their prey, scout out enemy routes, and make their assassinations personal and precise. Nastasu has been given “grounded finishing moves,” which will come “together in a symphony of violence where every encounter carries lasting consequences.”
