You have heard all of this before GCI doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel and that is perhaps the best decision that the development team made. The only major change from the Call of Duty and Battlefield games of the world is that the equipment that you unlock isn’t determined solely by your specific levels. Instead of level X awarding you a certain gun, it awards you a gun-related unlock token, which you can then cash in to unlock any weapon in the game that you don’t have. Other levels might award you gadget unlock tokens or a perk (called Fun Facts) token, and even a gadget unlock token. This is great for helping you quickly assemble a character loadout that is completely to your liking I am sure we have all been at that point in something like Black Ops where we want a specific weapon or attachment but have to work our way through 30+ levels just to get it. That won’t be a problem here you can pick and choose the content that you want to unlock, from an equipment perspective, pretty easily. I know what many you’re thinking when you hear someone mention Gotham City Impostors (GCI): “just what we need, another first person shooter”. On one hand, you’re right, it is another first person shooter on the other hand, it also happens to be a ton of fun. Although it appears to be more of the same on the surface, gamers who choose to give the game a chance will find out that it is honestly a bit of a breath of fresh air for the genre. Monolith Productions has taken the core mechanics of a tried and true gameplay genre and elected to throw any and all seriousness out of the window. Sure, it’s a shooter but it is the most nonsensical shooter on the market.Īt its heart, GCI is a straight forward FPS modeled off of the current trends of the genre. Everything that you have come to expect from leading titles in the genre makes an appearance here. You have character leveling, a robust content unlocking system, weapon attachments, and a variety of customization options to make your characters truly, well, “yours”. As you play through the various matches and challenges, you earn experience which will build up your character’s level. Each level awards you access to new features and character customization categories as well as tokens to unlock more weapons and equipment.
