The Henchmen - Alpha Demo

Welcome to the wet and cold streets of New Queens, where the 90s vibe meets criminal intrigue in a pulp-inspired adventure that pays homage to the golden era of action-packed gaming.

The Henchmen features arena-styled gameplay where speed is your ally. Execute lightning-fast combos that seamlessly blend melee strikes, roll dodges, and sliding; Chain kills together attacks to replenish health and ammo on the fly.

Out on the streets, The Henchmen features Driver-inspired driving physics, including a dedicated “power slide” button and fierce cops that just can’t help ramming into you at full speed. (No parking garage test is required, though)

• Not just nostalgia: While The Henchmen offers a delightful blast, with an era-accurate presentation from start to finish, it is beyond a mere nostalgia trip! We’ve envisioned The Henchmen as a “modern-retro” game that stands on its own legs, delivering a compelling experience beyond just delivering cheap nostalgia high.
