7/10 – Stylish, short, and satisfying
Shank delivers fun, bloody combat with awesome hit sounds and a slick art style. The shotgun is the only gun worth using — the rest feel useless. Story’s fine, but the dialogue gets cringey. It’s super short — around 3 hours, so definitely don’t buy at full price. Wait for a sale if you’re curious.

GOAT of my childhood
Great beat'em up if you're looking for a short game (3 hours for normal mode)

Really great game even though a bit clunky on the controls with a controller, but overall really great game and tough in spots especially boss fights until you learn the "trick" to beat them - they become quite easy, just a matter of timing and patience. Love the short game but wished there was more we could do like buy weapons and upgrade them or something.

Amazing game super fun and nostalgic. I wish I didn't have to take 6 hrs searching the internet and its hard to navigate through filth web pages, on my way to finding information on how to make the game actually run on windows 11 Steam. i was so happy to see it and buy it in the bundle for 5 dollars only to have to do tons of terrible work. I'm retired so no to working.

Good old school fun. I really enjoyed the 2D, hack-'n-slash type of gameplay and the story was corny, but interesting. Like I said, good old school fun :).
