As a sort of pseudo on-rails shooter, you follow a set path, but can run and dodge to the side, as well as double-jump. Most of the time you will probably have no idea what’s going on, so it’s probably best to ignore the story altogether (you won’t miss out on much) and treat it as any other on-rails shooter. Unfortunately, the story jumps around a lot, and you may need to play through the game twice to make sense of it all.Įven Saki looks more feminine than half the female characters, though his voice (particularly his grunts after being hit or jumping) gives his gender away quickly, though there may be some confusion at first. While this may sound like an impossible task for two people, you are helped along the way by Achi, the leader of the ’Savior Group’. As part of the ’Savior Group’, it is your job to overthrow the ’Armed Volunteers’, as well as destroy the ’Ruffians’. That’s where the player comes in, controlling the protagonist Saki, and sometimes his friend Airan. Other enemies are the ’Armed Volunteers’, an international organisation designed to defend against the ’Ruffians’, but who abused their power to control the people as well. The boss enemies are usually easy to defeat, though sometimes there’s a trick to doing so and it may take you a while to figure it out. And you might find yourself, as I did, using the sword as much as possible. If an enemy gets too close, a tap of the ’trigger-button’ will use your sword, your most powerful weapon. Luckily, most of them aren’t too powerful, and with good aim you can take them out easily with your gun. The game sees you in a post-apocalyptic Japan waging war against the ’Ruffians’, a former prey turned predator, and unfortunately for the player, there’s a lot of them. Sadly, the end will come all too soon, as this game is one of the shortest games I’ve ever played for the N64. Sin and Punishment is a great game it has decent graphics, great audio, and gameplay that keeps you seated until the very end.
