Set in a city that never forgives, Samson: A Tyndalston Story has been designed for the player to feel like a hard-fighting tough guy – albeit one that lives in a city full of tough guys. The system utilizes a custom fighting system, one that both players and NPCs use.

Tasking players with fighting to survive, there is a focus on hand-to-hand combat in Samson: A Tyndalston Story with no guns that draws from gaming greats like Sifu, Oni, The Warriors, and Sleeping Dogs.

That being said, cars can function as weapons in Samson: A Tyndalston Story! One can turn chases into tactical destruction.

Featuring Samson Designer Alex Williams, one can learn more via the Samson: A Tyndalston Story Dev Diary via its official Steam page.

Set to release this year, one can wishlist Samson: A Tyndalston Story via its official Steam page.
