    Having been falsely imprisoned for the murder of his father, petty criminal Will Riley escapes from prison and seeks to clear his name and get revenge on those responsible for his father’s death.

    A homage to the old school top down GTA games, American Fugitive’s awkward controls and repetitive missions means it ultimately fails to offer any long term entertainment.

    Desperate fight to cleanse yourself from the father's murder verdict. It looks like the game was inspired by the Red Rock West movie with N. Cage. The game Red Rock County is quite similar to that one depicted in the movie - corrupted cops, including the sheriff, the train you can hop on and off to escape from cops chase, the great music changing according to the scene you are playing.

In the beginning the game crashed a couple of times but it seems an update solved that so it's no more an issue.… Expand

    Good game! It’s not perfect but far from bad.
    -Had a few crashes and has some bugs -Loading times at the start and between zones are very long.
    -There’s no real clues in-game for the safe and bunker codes. The hints are almost useless. -A lot of Pointless missions , just to fill the game. Run around, do some errands ,etc. Diverges from the main story. -Targeting system is mediocre and    Good game! It’s not perfect but far from bad.

    -Targeting system is mediocre and difficult to adjust because of the point of view and has no locked mechanic.
    -Controls are clunky at best - Dissapointing ending. No cutscenes…nothing. After so much work I was expecting more.
    - None of this facts was a breaking point for me. I finished everything.The game is still fun to play, t
    The gameplay is good,music is appropriate, visuals are great. Tutorials and maps are awesome. Just minor things.    … Expand

    American fugitive es un videojuego que recuerda a los GTA un poco más antiguos como a los de gameboy o al popular chinaton wars, con una vista isométrica muy similar a la de estos títulos y una jugabilidad llena de acción, aunque con unos controles un tanto... imprecisos.

    A nivel narrativo el videojuego no se innova y la historia es un tanto cliché, algo le sucede a tu padre, te ves    American fugitive es un videojuego que recuerda a los GTA un poco más antiguos como a los de gameboy o al popular chinaton wars, con una vista isométrica muy similar a la de estos títulos y una jugabilidad llena de acción, aunque con unos controles un tanto... imprecisos.

    A nivel narrativo el videojuego no se innova y la historia es un tanto cliché, algo le sucede a tu padre, te ves involucrado en un malentendido y acabas en prision, te das a la fuga y de ahí el nombre del título, te vuelves en un fugitivo de la ley con todo lo que este involucra.

    Este juego cuenta con una serie de acciones las cuales son muy interesantes como el cambiarse de ropa para perder a la policía, el comprar nuevos autos para perder a los policías, los rangos de búsqueda, las tiendas de empeño, entre otros.

    el principal problema que le veo al juego es su jugabilidad la cual es un tanto imprecisa la cual no termina de calzar y se vuele un tanto difícil de realizar algunas funciones, como apuntar, ocupar algunas armas y realizar algunas acciones con los vehículos, la conducción de estos mismos se siente un poco extraña dando la idea que este aspecto no se terminó de diseñar, dando la impresión que todos los vehículos se sienten igual, sin peso y sin agarre.

    American fugitive es una buena opción si estas buscando un juego que te recuerde a un GTA o similares y te pueda brindar horas de diversión, obviamente si eres capaz de acostumbrarte a los controles y la jugabilidad de este titulo.    … Expand

    American Fugitive is a fun romp through a colourful, top-down GTA-inspired open-world crime-fest. While the game has some issues, such as repetitive missions, as well as stability problems on the Switch, it doesn't stop it from being an all-around fun and engaging title when you're actually playing. The freedom to explore a world of a decent size where there's actually a fair bit of content to go through, including side-elements like finding stashes, doing stunt-jumps and time trials. Is this the next GTA? No, nor was it going to be. Is it a fun, engaging and altogether decent title at a very reasonable price? Most definitely.

    American Fugitive hits most of the bullet points you look for in a functional open world game, but some glaring omissions, sparseness to the world, and a lack of developed characters keep it from being GTA in the boonies you might hope for. This far into the Switch life cycle, you can find better alternatives for your open world fix.

    Playing on the Switch feels no different to playing on any other platform, with no console-specific features or controls. That said, it is the kind of small-scale, intimate affair that feels more at home on the handheld. Plus, you’ve the added benefit of putting it down mid car-chase to come back later.
