Kingpin: Reloaded

About

Kingpin: Reloaded is a modernized first-person shooter RPG based on the 1999 cult classic. You play as a scrappy lowlife in a stylized noir gangland, seeking revenge against the brutal Kingpin and his right-hand enforcer. The game blends gunplay with RPG progression, letting you upgrade skills and tackle missions in a world of smoky speakeasies and art deco. Enhanced with 4K graphics, ultrawide support, and overhauled controls, it adds new quests and dialogue options to flesh out the story. The original had a cult following but felt rough around the edges. This re-release polishes those edges, making it more approachable without losing the chaotic charm. Available on PS4, PC, Xbox One, and Switch, it's a solid pick for fans of gritty, action-packed shooters with a side of role-playing. Early reviews praise the balance between nostalgia and modern updates, though it's not without its quirks.

Storyline

In a stylized noir art deco gangland that never was, the Kingpin rules above all else with a bloody fist. When his lieutenant Nikki Blanco leaves a no-name Thug battered and broken, the upstart criminal rises from a puddle of blood, lead pipe in hand and revenge in mind.
