The Saboteur
About the Game
Sean Devlin is an Irish mechanic and a racer in Paris - or at least he was. One day in 1940, as he takes part in the Grand Prix of Saarbrücken (Germany), he loses to the Nazi Kurt Dieker through unfair means. As he tries to repay his dept by playing a prank on Dieker, he learns of Diekers real job: being a Nazi torturer. Sean manages to escape back to Paris with the Nazi invasion force on his heel.
Story & Setting
These so-called sabotage actions also net the protagonist contraband, the currency of the game. Other prominent activities include running and climbing on buildings, similarly to the protagonist of Assassin's Creed , giving the player the freedom to choose his own route to the target.
Gameplay & Core Systems
The player takes on the role of Sean, looking over his shoulder while he explores the city and its surroundings either on foot or by car. In order to move the story forward, the player has to fulfill missions for the resistance. With it he can buy weapons, upgrades and other items at black-market dealers scattered around the city. To do these sabotage acts, the player has access to several different kinds of weapons and explosives from the time period, as well as Sean's fists for melee combat. Though Sean can engage Nazis in hand-to-hand fights, using punches, kicks, and grapple moves, it is often not advisable to go directly into combat, as he needs to escape the Nazis once an alarm has been raised in order to complete his missions.
Standout Features
- Once this has been done, the car can be summoned at any garage.
- Sean can even slip into an enemy uniform to infiltrate the Nazis undetected; however, if he is seen doing a suspicious activity, the alarm will be raised after a certain amount of time.
