“Anger Foot’s one-note action gimmick can’t find a second leg to stand on.”

Cons

- One-note action
- Poorly implemented gimmicks
- Hard to find the flow
You may not be able to judge a book by its cover, but you already know just about everything you need to know about Anger Foot from its title alone.
The latest game from Terra Nil developer Free Lives is a fast-paced first-person shooter with a twist: lethal kicking. It’s a one-note gimmick that doesn’t evolve much past level one, but Free Lives isn’t exactly shy about that. The title Anger Foot evokes a certain kind of B-movie, one that lays all its cards on the table before you even need to see a trailer. Movies like that don’t claim to be great works of art; they’re confident trash.
