About game
«The Ballad of a True Thug» tells a tale of crime, penned in ink and blood. Your journey of retribution starts from the lowest depths — the gloomy side streets of Europe and the neon-lit pits of 90s America. To confront those who have wronged you, you must climb from a small-time thief to a renowned figure in the criminal world.
Each confrontation is a perilous game. Slow down time to find the perfect move, dodge bullets with a swift slide, and use anything — from cheap liquor to a lead pipe — to secure victory. A single mistake, a single error, and your ballad will come to an end.
Destiny awaits your decision. Make your move.
How to play
Use W, A, S, D to move your character.
The mouse is for aiming.
Left mouse button to shoot.
Press C to slide — dodge and quickly change position.
R activates slow motion when the gauge is full.
F is for throwing a grenade.
E is used to interact — pick up weapons and items.
Important: your hero dies from a single hit. Ammo doesn't reload, so look for new weapons on enemy bodies or around the level. When you steal the target, the alarm goes off and the police arrive — you need to fight your way to the exit. Use slides and slow motion to outmanoeuvre your opponents, and watch out for grenades and explosive objects in the area.
