    The game Bloodstroke was previewed at Gamescom 2013 and will be announced soon

    Bloodstroke is on-rails action arcade game.
    Game is currently in development by Moon Shark
    The story and script was written by John Woo
    .​









    Game features​








    Bloodstroke will be available at the end of the year for iOS.
    Pricing is unknown, but it will be paid game.
    It looks like game has IAPs, how good or bad they are implemented remains to be seen.

    Info was taken from description of first video (in German) and commentary.
    I will correct if something is wrong when more information becomes available.

    Personal thoughts
    I love the art style but that "pay to continue" after you die looks sketchy to me amongst other "pay to" things..

    Looking wicked and bloody. Love the art-style and the defense-type gameplay in a pseudo-runner progression. And to top it off, John Woo. :)

    I really like Moon Shark's Verticus too, so i hope they do a good job here as well.

    I saw their logo on main menu screen, but there is no info on their website at the moment, funny thing is AppAdvice basically copied what I wrote without checking for more details xD

    And here are some more details:
    Game will be announced at Pax
    Protagonists name is Mai Lee
    Release date is October
    At Gamescom Chillingo showcased other games for iOS: Feed Me Oil 2, Find the Line & Max Steel (this one is coming soon)

    That's the one, Face/Off was great action movie back in the day :)

    Basically, if you see pigeons/doves used in slo mo in a sort of action/beauty shot to highlight some scenes, that is a John Woo film.

    Even Bloodstroke's intro has them birdies. :)

    Also, dual pistols. John Woo made them mainstream in today's action films.
