John Wick has become a beloved series of movies, with their absurdly excellent action and Keanu Reeves\u2019 raw magnetic excellentness (dude). Naturally, a John Wick game would be a fast paced action flick with as much energy as the movies gave \u2026 except nope; John Wick Hex<\/em> is a turn based tactical game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So yeah\u2026 that\u2019s a thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
John Wick Hex<\/em> tells a story of a young badass named John Wick who is taking out an evil mastermind named Hex, and well\u2026 the story isn’t that deep. It is set before the movies, but I forgot much of the plot almost immediately. I mean, think about the movies and you have a feel for what the story in the game is like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But you\u2019re not here for the story right? You\u2019re here for an animated version of Keanu Reeves (that doesn’t crash constantly) killing lots of people. Well, this game has that in spades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The game is, by all accounts, a classic turned-based strategy game. You have limited ammo, need to move around killing people, then you move around to kill some more people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Look it’s not Casablanca, ok?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It uses an action bar at the top of the screen to determine who goes first, and you use stealth to maximum advantage. It\u2019s a good turn based tactical game that is more unique because of the series it has come from than anything overly unique for the genre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
