About True Lies

True Lies is a top down scrolling shooter where players control an armed character based on the film's protagonist. Missions involve objectives like data retrieval or capturing targets, set in locations adapted from the movie.

Gameplay focuses on combat using various firearms, with specific attention given to weapons such as a flamethrower and an uzi. A diving roll maneuver allows the character to evade enemy fire and quickly return to an offensive stance. Navigating environments requires dealing with hostile forces while attempting to limit harm to non combatants present in the areas.
