6 itemsAbout the Game
It is the near future in Argentina, South America. A fascist president has been in power for ten years lying to people about a deadly virus from which he is protecting them. A small group of people know the truth, and they have sent a young man to look for CHACAL, a retired vigilante in the distant lands of Patagonia.
Now CHACAL must make a decision. If he accompanies the people to a revolution, or if he continues his placid life among the mountains.
CHACAL is a runner-style Zen game. It has 9 levels, several final bosses, and an intriguing, action-packed story.
Travel from the southern reaches to the capital of the country, get the best Score and defeat the evil president of Argentina to free the nation from its subjection!
Es el futuro cercano en Argentina, Sudamérica. Un presidente fascista ha estado en el poder durante una década mintiéndole a la población sobre un virus mortal del que supuestamente la está protegiendo con mano dura. No obstante, un pequeño grupo de anarquistas sabe la verdad, y han enviado a un joven a buscar a CHACAL, el anarquista definitivo, un justiciero retirado en las lejanas tierras de la Patagonia. ¡Solo él puede salvarlos!
Ahora CHACAL debe tomar una decisión, si acompaña al pueblo hacia una inminente revolución, o si continúa con su plácida vida entre las montañas.
CHACAL es un juego Zen del estilo runner, para amantes de las consolas en 16 bits. ¡Nueve intensos niveles, jefes finales, y una intrigante historia repleta de acción!
¡Viaja desde los confines del sur hacia la capital del país, consigue el mejor Score y derrota al malvado presidente de la Argentina para liberar a la nación de su sometimiento!
