Forgive Me My Henchmen is now on kickstarter!

EezyStreet has started the kickstarter campaign for Forgive Me My Henchmen. In this game, you play as the typical action movie head bad guy, deploying henchmen and sabotaging a building to delay an unstoppable one-man army.

Guide your crimelord through 20 levels of carnage and action in a game where all the action movie stereotypes work against you. You may rig a floor with explosives, but the vigilante dramatically escapes through a window moments before detonation. You then deploy some tommy-gun wielding mafioso to pump the vigilante full of hot lead, yet your mafioso can’t seem to hit him, no matter how much they try. You cannot stop the vigilante, but with eight henchmen and various items at your disposal, at least you can slow him down. You reinforce a door with a large cabinet and some goons. The vigilante takes six kicks before he breaks through. As he uppercuts a goon in the face, you place a detonator on an explosive barrel, and then you wait until the vigilante gets close…

The kickstarter campaign finishes at the end of March and if the kickstarter campaign is successful, Forgive Me My Henchmen will be aiming to have a mid-July launch for PC, Mac and Linux. Eventually, the game will also be made available for Android and iOS.

Beanie-Hat-Gaming wrote “The art style looks amazing!” and Stoffel Presents called it “Strategy/Tower Defence” but “Like Lemmings…with…bullets.” Perhaps the best description, however, comes from a backer who wrote “The game looks insane”.
