Dead to Rights - Retribution is a visually stunning 3rd person action game, rich in story, character and brutal combat. The game follows vice cop Jack Slate and his canine companion Shadow as they fight to expose the shadowy figures of Grant City and bring order back to the crumbling metropolis. Deadly on their own, Jack and Shadow are even more formidable as they team up to defeat the threats they will uncover.

A visually stunning 3rd person action game, Dead to Rights - Retribution allows players to combine different fighting styles as they encounter ruthless gangs and manoeuvre through the filthy slums and menacing alleys of Grant City. The cutting edge combat system combines with advanced AI and powerfully neo-noir storyline to take players into a compelling journey.

Grant City has fallen from its position as one of the world's great cultural and financial centers, resting now under a heavy shroud of crime and widespread corruption. One man must take a stand to exorcise the evil that has robbed the town of its glory; that plagues the streets of his childhood. One man must take down the ruthless gangs that control the night and weigh justice upon the power-hungry elite who unrepentantly bleed life from the city.

Jack Slate dispenses his own brand of violent justice across Grant City in this third-person shooter inspired by Hong Kong action cinema’s best.

Once one of the world’s cultural and financial centres, Grant City has now fallen into chaos and is ruled by widespread criminal factions. Taking a stand against the city’s worst in the hopes of returning it to its former glory, Jack Slate and his faithful canine companion, Shadow, must take the fight to the streets with a mix of a gunplay and hand-to-hand combat.

While crossing the dark streets of Grant City, brutal disarms allow players to take their enemy’s weapon to use against them. A slick cover system lets players spray bullets while protected by their surroundings and slowly work their way towards opponents for close-quarter kills. As well as more brutal combat with Jack, players can take control of Shadow and use his animal instincts to stay out of sight and perform vicious attacks.

Dead to Rights - Retribution revels in its over-the-top battles and brutal violence, providing one of the most varied and robust combat systems seen in the series.
