Suqare: Hired Gun

Suqare: Hired Gun is a shooter in which the player controls a mercenary named Suqare as he attempts to establish a reputation. Work comes from a number of corporations, and completing jobs earns money and builds rapport with the employer. Decisions made during missions affect which jobs become available, the size of the reward, how each corporation stands relative to the others, and the direction of the overall story.

The game offers a range of melee weapons, guns, gadgets and upgrades, which can be taken from defeated enemies or bought from a shop. Spending choices allow the player to lean towards direct combat or a stealth approach. Before each mission the player specs out their character by buying upgrades and gadgets and selecting weapons suited to the task. Anything bought in the shop can be sold back for its full purchase price, and loadouts can be tested in a practice area called the Range. Many weapons have less obvious secondary uses, and secrets and new weapons can be found in most missions by exploring.

There are usually several jobs available at once, and taking work for one corporation can affect relations with the others. Angering a corporation may cause it to stop offering jobs or to act against the player, while good rapport can lead to better rewards and assignments. Some jobs conflict with one another, and the player may side with either party or deliberately fail a job they do not wish to complete. The developer notes that one mission contains flashing lights that may affect players with photosensitivity, and offers a breakdown of when it occurs on request.
