“拳拳到肉的硬汉清版动作游戏，武器不算丰富但是手感不错。BOSS关卡也很有自己的风格，有些比较难的关卡很考验技术。
孤独的复仇者，血液、子弹、拳头、爆炸构成了这款硬汉游戏，流程不长，但是体验尚佳。”

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

Shank is a lot of fun because it lets you murder a lot of different people in a lot of different ways, and I think you should buy it.
