Watchmen was a full-on blockbuster that hit the silver screens throughout the world, featuring a lot violence, superheroes in disgrace and a complex story line featuring betrayal, depression and ultimately, redemption and sacrifice. Thus, it was bound that the saga would be transformed into a video game as well, especially since the movie itself is an adaptation after a popular comic book.
Watchmen: The End is Nigh has been developed in order to give you the opportunity to witness the events portrayed in the movie and the comic book from a more personal perspective. You get to make a difference and influence the story yourself, as well as play your part when it comes to keeping the streets safe and clear of criminals.
Thus, the game puts you in control of the two key characters from the movie, namely Nite Owl and Rorschach. By using their unique abilities, you must fight your way through the crime-ridden city and bring justice to those who deserve it. Naturally, the two fighters use different styles when it comes to inflicting pain on their foes, due to their different beliefs and gadgets. Hence, while the Nite Owl makes use of a lot of technology in battle, Rorschach employs a dirty, but effective street fighting style to dispatch with the offenders.
The main villain throughout the game is embodied by the well known Underboss character, who has escaped from prison and he went back to ruling his ruthless minions. In the end, your purpose is to fight his henchmen and find out the whereabouts of his hideout, as well as put an end to his reign by infiltrating his lair and taking him out once and for all.
Just like in the comics and the movie, the violence levels are over-the-top, with a lot of emphasis on blood, gore and dismemberment. This is especially visible whenever you play as Rorschach, who is well known for being extremely violent and vicious when it comes to punishing wrong doers. Moreover, all the gore is abundantly rendered by the potent graphic engine, which also does a good job at displaying the convincing character animations that can be observed in the fighting sequences.
In the end, the violence and the omnipresent depression are classic trademarks of the series and Watchmen: The End is Nigh manages to capture them in an adequate manner. Moreover, the intense fighting scenes are well worth the results, especially since they flow very smoothly and you have total control over how they evolve.
