Paradise City Renamed, New Screenshots

Focus Home Interactive has announced that Paradise City has been renamed to "Escape from Paradise City," and new screenshots have been released.

"Developed by the Danish studio Sirius Games, Escape from Paradise City is a modern day, urban RPG, where the gameplay includes elements of character development, management and real-time strategy.

Utilising an excellent graphics engine, the game effortlessly displays a vast city, superbly rendered and bustling with life. Such an environment is the ideal playground in which to play and develop successively 3 characters during the 16 forbidding chapters of the game.

In Escape from Paradise City, characters must infiltrate the gangs and ‘hoods for the NSA, whose agents have been disappearing off the streets with alarming frequency. It won’t be long until the character realises that behind the gang war infesting the city there hides terrifying and powerful figures that, it seems, no bullet will stop.

Experience can be gained through fights and mission completion, whereupon each level of advancement provides more options for character development and abilities. Characters can even take control of several neighbourhoods in the city. Each neighbourhood has different attributes; some generate income, others house weaponry, or even a police station and its corrupt officers. Taking control of an area allows for the recruitment of henchmen who will either defend your ‘hood, or join you during a raid against another nearby neighbourhood. Finally, each neighbourhood plays host to “Power Skills” – these are skills that can be associated with the power used by your character. These numerous abilities allow you, for example, to call a vehicle for safe transit across the city, call for backup, put a ‘mark’ on one of your foes, and many other actions that will help you defeat the powerful bosses and rule over the city."
