Meet Alphonse Harding, not just a soldier but a living weapon.
In the world of I Am Your Beast, created by Strange Scaffold, Harding is the tortured hero who has been molded into a force to be reckoned with through years of military service as a secret agent. This experience has turned him into a mix of John Wick and Predator, capable of wiping out entire squads with terrifying speed and efficiency. However, Harding is no one’s pet; he’s the beast they created, unleashed.
Throughout the gripping three-hour gameplay of I Am Your Beast, the game puts a spotlight on a military industrial complex that transforms humans into war machines. By giving Harding the power to be judge, jury, and executioner, the game takes a stand against this system, offering players a thrilling first-person shooter experience that seamlessly blends political commentary with exhilarating ultraviolence.
Unleashing the Beast
The action in I Am Your Beast is relentless, mirroring Harding’s own intensity. Forced out of retirement by his former general, Burkin, Harding must confront the organization he once served, the Covert Operations Initiative, in a high-stakes battle. Players must navigate through compact levels, completing objectives like sabotage and combatting enemy squads. The game’s fast-paced nature draws parallels to action-puzzle hybrids like Hotline Miami, providing a unique and engaging gameplay experience.
The game’s fluid combat mechanics keep players on their toes, emphasizing constant movement and tactical choices over simple gunplay. From executing foes with precision to utilizing environmental elements strategically, I Am Your Beast challenges players to think on their feet, offering a dynamic and exhilarating combat experience.
Despite its intense action, the game manages to deliver a sharp critique of the military industrial complex. Unlike traditional action games, Harding doesn’t serve as a mindless pawn for the government; instead, he rebels against the system that created him. By turning the tables on his former masters, Harding embodies a sense of cathartic justice, challenging players to question the morality of their actions.
I Am Your Beast offers a thrilling and thought-provoking gameplay experience, blending intense action with a poignant narrative. It challenges players to rethink the power dynamics of warfare and question the ethical implications of their actions, making it a standout entry in the first-person shooter genre.
I Am Your Beast is now available on PC.
