Gameplay Mechanics
“Wanted: Weapons of Fate” will merge third-person shooting action and acrobatic moves where the player can play a game of high-octane action like that from the film. Major aspects of the gameplay are as follows:
Cover System: This game lets players hide behind objects, and strategically uses the environment against the enemy’s gunfire.
Curving Bullets: One of the most interesting mechanics in this game is curving bullets. The theme of the movie has given the game players a chance to manipulate the trajectory of shots, adding layers of strategy to combating.
Acrobatics: In the game, there is fluidity in movements to let the player carry out all kinds of parkour-styled maneuvers. This is going to include wall-running and sliding as well as flashing combat maneuvers.
Arms Selection: There are a variety of firearms to select from. These include pistols, shotguns, and machine guns. Every weapon has unique characteristics that make the player try different playstyles.
Upgrade System: The players will gain experience points throughout the game. These points will help upgrade the weapons and abilities, thus enhancing their combat capability.
Storyline and Characters

Along these lines, issues are posed about revenge, betrayal, and destiny, followed in the search of his father’s past by Wesley in regard to an organization known as the Fraternity.
Important personalities

Graphics and Sound Design
The graphics are not too impressive in 2009, but they are pretty effective at capturing the gritty feel of the movie. Environments are well detailed with a lot of urban landscapes, dark alleys, and settings that all really make for a nice atmosphere.
The sound design really helps with the action. The dynamic soundtrack is paired with excellent voice acting, which makes the characters pop off the screen. Sound effects are excellent, particularly with the gunplay and explosions, adding to an overall sense of immersion.
Reception and Impact
“Wanted: Weapons of Fate” received mixed reviews from critics and gamers in general. Praises of the game often pointed at the innovative mechanic of bullet curvature and a good system for combat. However, the criticism regarding the game’s level of linearity and some occasionally repetitive gameplay was still received.
