New Steam release Anarcute is a game about smashing up cities and putting the boot into a dystopian future security force. It is Katamari Damacy vs Jet Set Radio, only with violence, and itās one of the nicest surprises Iāve played this year.
The game is about controlling an ever-growing swarm of rioters, who are tasked with doing things like securing parts of the city, freeing fellow rioters imprisoned by the man, taking out bad guys and just generally smashing the place up.
It doesnāt look like much, but itās fun as hell. And it looks great too, from the teeth-aching cuteness of the rioters to the way the cities look like both LEGO towns and the real thing theyāre based on at the same time.
You can see me playing through some of the opening levels below if you want to take a look.
