The player’s character is tasked with assassinating various targets, including by shooting, stabbing and strangling them, with resultant blood effects. In some cases, the violence is more sadistic or graphic in nature, including thrusting a sword through a character’s head, which then emerges from their mouth, and lodging an axe in a character’s head before using your foot to pull the axe out. There is an emphasis on the use of stealth in order to avoid detection.
While the objective is to assassinate specific targets, the player’s character can also kill innocent civilian characters. Blood effects are shown, and their bodies remain on the floor until the end of the level. These characters may attempt to flee, when they realise they are in danger, but they can still be killed as they try to escape. The game does not reward the player for such acts and killing innocent characters negatively effects your score.
Assassination can involve the use explosive devices which when they explode will kill or injure all characters within the vicinity including innocents. Similarly, the indiscriminate use of an automatic weapon will result in a great number of innocent characters being killed.
The game also features frequent use of strong language (‘fuck’).
