An oddly addictive side-scrolling 2D fighting game

Shank is a game that was clearly built by people who loved the old Streets of Rage games. The gameplay is far smoother and more fluid than the old Streets of Rage games, but the lack of impact that your hits and shots make means the fighting seems less powerful and ultimately less satisfying. The boss fights are a mere exercise in grinding down large health bars. There is a free demo for people who are interested in the game.

  • Pros

    • Pick up different weapons as you move
    • The sound effects are cleverly chosen
    • See your enemy’s lifebar in the top right corner
    • The silly story offsets the brutal violence a little
  • Cons

    • It needs to be a lot longer
    • Getting the co-op working is rewarding but very difficult
    • Becomes sadly repetitive
    • You cannot improve, level up or learn new skills

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
