The contract

What you signed up for

New York is ending. The Families went chrome, Hell came up to meet them, and the city is collapsing one rooftop at a time.

NECROVIATHAN, demon merc and founder of the Hell Fortress Contracting Initiative, has taken the contract: clear the skyline, get paid, and don’t stop moving, because the roof behind you is already gone.

  • An endless rooftop run-and-gun across six sectors: Hell’s Kitchen, Midtown, Times Square, Wall Street, The Bowery and Harlem.
  • A wall of hellfire eats the city behind you. Rooftops crack and drop away a column at a time. Stop moving and you fall.
  • Mobsters, demons and monsters: Tommy-gun gangsters, bat-swinging goons, bombers, imps, hellhounds, ghouls, gargoyles, acid spitters and the brute.
  • Every sector ends in a boss fight on a crumbling arena: THE DON’s gunship, THE ARCHFIEND and THE BEHEMOTH. Beat all three and they come back harder. It never ends.
  • Your health bar is an anatomically correct heart. It drains as you bleed, beats faster near death and flatlines when you die.
  • Shoot on the run, double jump, chain jabs into a dash punch, and charge the hellfire sword: one swing carves through everything in front of you.
  • Grab Spread Shot, Rapid Fire and Hellfire Rounds, hearts, cash and HFCI supply drops.
  • Chain kills for up to a x10 bounty multiplier, earn an extra life every $60,000, climb from UNPAID INTERN to HELL FORTRESS LEGEND, and sign the Wall of Valor.
  • Full controller support with on-screen prompts that follow whatever you’re holding, plus keyboard and mouse.

Tips

  • Mobsters firing from the shoulder shoot high, so duck. From the hip they shoot low, so jump.
  • Riding a falling roof column gives you a moment to jump clear.
  • Getting hit drops your multiplier.
