Progress doesn’t feel like a burden since you can hop in and complete a handful of story missions, then bully up a few stores in shakedowns, buy some properties, and do it all over again as you please. One of the things I appreciated for Shakedown: Hawaii is the length of the missions since they were generally pretty short. Fast forward to this game and the same kind of humor is felt for a few laughs here and there. I remember playing Retro City Rampage, Vblank Entertainment’s previous game a few years ago and enjoying its satiric take on the open-world genre. And if you get certain unlocks through the game that will multiply a certain building type revenue, things will skyrocket for you! If you buy all the buildings of the same type, you’ll get a bonus in revenue, so there’s a certain strategy in choosing what you buy first. As you progress in the game, you’ll be able to purchase different buildings and companies to add to your portfolio, things such as VR startups, convenience stores, and other legit businesses. Apart from getting revenue from protection money, your goal also becomes to invest in different ventures to get more money. This brings up the second aspect of the game: business management. This will bring in some additional daily revenue, as your goal is ultimately to get rich or die trying, buying businesses and apartments along the way. There is also a ton of side content to work on with optional missions and shakedowns, which consist of entering stores and kindly forcing them to give you protection money – by any means necessary. It does get a bit repetitive every now and then, but the fact that those missions are so short means you don’t feel bored. Missions generally ask you to get from point A to point B on the map, and occasionally attack someone or defend your turf. This might seem like a lot, but missions generally last only a couple of minutes, so it’s easy to drop in to play a few missions, and then carry on with your day. Shakedown: Hawaii’s open-world story mode consists of 126 story missions. Ceidz and ThaRaven403 played the game, and this review presents what they both had to say. This is a double review for Shakedown: Hawaii. Build a “legitimate” corporation by completing open world missions, acquiring businesses, sabotaging competitors, “rezoning” land, and shaking down shops for protection money. Welcome to Shakedown: Hawaii, Vblank Entertainment’s latest open world adventure.
