Overhead view, stealing cars, shooting up everything – American Fugitive looks like a modern take on the classic GTA format.
On the lam
Fallen Tree Games’ American Fugitive might look a lot like polished up version of the old GTA format, before the series went 3D. What it actually is though, is a more action-y version of the classic TV show/movie The Fugitive.
You play as Will Riley, a man who has been wrongly convicted of murdering his father. Needless to say, justice must be done. Well, that and a prison break, and a cross county spree.
Set in 1980s middle-America within a sleepy rural town, American Fugitive invites you to play as Will Riley. By no means a killer, but no angel either, you face life in prison for a crime you didn’t commit. Fueled by grief over the cold-blooded murder of your father, and armed with a burning desire for vengeance you’ll need to break out of jail to find the real culprit. Simply put: It’s payback time.
An ensemble cast of characters will offer players perilous missions across a story spanning 10-14 hours of gameplay time, allowing players a chance to help Will set things right. But can any of them be trusted to help Will uncover the truth? Are their motives as questionable as their integrity?
