  • Summary: Shank is a new game that a small team at Klei is working on. It's an over-the-top action/adventure, built with all the things that we at Klei are passionate about: amazing control, great animation, immersive environment, and everything else that we feel like, and none of the stuff we don't.

    Shank is the freshest, most unequivocally rewarding beat-em-up game to come along in almost a decade.

    Brilliant hack'n'slash game picks the core elements of this specific genre and serves them with style. You won't stop until the last enemy is on the floor bleeding. [Issue#195]

    The best action game to come along in quite a while. not for the faint of heart, this game takes skill and split second dexterity to handle. if you've got the tools & the talent, then buy it & love it. Oh yeah, and get a friend to play through the multiplayer... that's awesome too.… Expand

    A good game and graphics is also good But I control weapons such as pistols, I did not expect it so bad The game is short you can dictated within 6 hours of continuous and end the game!

    Shank is a game that surprised me, its plot and what he wants to show us perhaps the greatest attractions of this game. The demo is very pleased despite being small and make us want to play more and buy it by the PSN or LIVE, and technically speaking the feel of 2D game along with his ability to fight motivated me enough to have it.
