comment
The Hong Kong Massacre is a Run-and-Gun game, developed by VRESKI and released for PC and Nintendo Switch on January 22nd, 2019 and on PlayStation 4 on January 29th, 2019.It is heavily inspired by John Woo movies, with the protagonist being a Hong Kong cop who goes on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge against the Two Headed Dragon triad after they killed his partner. He's been so successful at it that the game opens with him being arrested and interrogated by his higher-ups about all the carnage he's caused. Then, the game flashes back, and lets you create that carnage yourself.

Title Drop: Your character's rampage against the Two Headed Dragon triad makes the news late in the game, with the media calling it the "Hong Kong Massacre."

Leap and Fire: Dodging and shooting at the same time produces this effect, and is one of the more stylish ways to dispatch enemies, especially when employed in Bullet Time.

More Dakka: The rifle already has more ammo in its magazine than any other weapon. Fully upgrading its ammo capacity gives you a whole 100 bullets to play with, which is invaluable, as you won't get to reload it.

comment
Cut and Paste Environments: A good number of the environmental assets are recycled from building to building. This even goes as far as the paper shogi screens being used as internal walls not only in the mere office buildings, but inexplicably, inside a police station, for essentially no reason but to allow you to shoot and burst through them there as well.

Guns Akimbo: Dual pistols are your starter weapon, and are one of the faster weapons you can use. An upgrade allows you to give this treatment to submachine guns too.

How We Got Here
 The Hong Kong Massacre (Video Game) / int_80251be3
comment
How We Got Here: Much of the game's story has you being interrogated in regards to the one-man war that you've been waging throughout Hong Kong against the Two Headed Dragon triad, with the shootouts that make up this rampage being played out in flashback. Then in the final act, the police station gets raided by the bad guys, and you have to battle the remaining triads in order to reach the Big Bad behind it all and take final vengeance.

Bullet Time
 The Hong Kong Massacre (Video Game) / int_8af25294
comment
Bullet Time: The ability to slow time down is one of the game's core features. Its usage is limited by a meter, so you cannot deploy it all the time. However, each kill partially refills it, so you are encouraged to use your slo-mo time to immediately cause maximum carnage. Nevertheless, there's an achievement for beating levels without deploying it at all, which pushes the already-high difficulty even higher.

One-Hit-Point Wonder: Your character always dies in one hit. However, the same applies to most of your enemies, with only bosses and body-armored enemies taking more than one hit to bring low.

Shotguns Are Just Better
 The Hong Kong Massacre (Video Game) / int_96ecc67e
comment
Shotguns Are Just Better: One of your weapon options. They have the biggest spread, which allows you to blow away multiple enemies in a single blast, but the slowest reload time, which can be important against multiple enemies in the same area.

 The Hong Kong Massacre (Video Game) / int_b2cdd776
comment
Bottomless Magazines: Averted. Moreover, you can never have more than one magazine's worth of ammo for any weapon, thus forcing you to regularly pick up the guns of fallen enemies. However, you do get to upgrade your weapons' ammo capacity, and if you get the Unlimited Ammo upgrade for the pistols, they become the only weapon that plays this trope straight.

Dodge the Bullet: You have a dodge move, which changes depending on the context of the situation. The one constant is that you are completely immune to damage while using it. However, your enemies get to perform the exact same dodges, and they are just as immune to damage during them.
