It seems the game also stretches that shame, where the colorful board turns into black and white when you use hints because you don’t deserve colors apparently when you are using help for a game.ĭepending on the objectives you do, you gain points for finishing those levels and like any mobile game, the more points you gain the more potential you have to unlock more levels.
Initially, they give you five hints and when you run out of them you’d have to purchase them and I shamelessly admit I purchased a pack of hints that are worth 50 riyals. Where there is a hint icon in the corner that shows you the path for the objective you want.
As much as I believe this barely resembles any Hitman game I’ve played, there are a lot of similarities in its aesthetics and I find it quite engaging how I learned with trial and error and which route to take since the levels are teeming with challenges such as “finish this level in the least turns taken” or “don’t kill any guard”, which raises the challenge of the game even more.ĭespite it being a paid mobile game, it also has in-game purchases for hints on what to do next. Every turn you take, the guards around you “move” a turn just like how you do, so you have to always think one step ahead and strategize, something I was surprised to engross myself in. It’s a turn-based puzzle game, where you have as much time to think about what to do, only not as much time when you fail since it takes less than a second for the level to restart as soon as you get discovered by a guard and agent 47’s pin tumbles over to the side, which I still find hilarious. In Hitman Go, the player generally has a simple objective where you either have to assassinate a target, grab a briefcase or get to the objective point.
I was even more astonished that I loved it because the more I lost in the puzzles and learned from my mistakes, the more I was interested in how to solve these puzzles. It simply uses the main character and some of the level designs we have seen over the series as a board game.
I’m frankly surprised it works because there is no setup like the original Hitman series. Hitman Go is a puzzle mobile game that is shadowed by the fact that it uses a franchise as its setting.
