Veronica (video game)

Veronica is an American action video game developed by and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. The game is the first installment of the Veronica franchise of games and was originally published for PC, Mac, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii U on January 15th, 2012.

Gameplay
The game is very experimental, changing its gameplay at multiple points. Most of the game is an action game where the player controls Red, but when in a ship it suddenly switches to a shoot 'em up/bullet hell where you must battle different ships. There are also mild survival elements, such as being able to fly in the ship and destroy meteorites, gathering minerals from them that allow for upgrades to the ship, weapons, and can also be used as currency to buy other weapons for Red and to add on to the ship.

Plot
The game begins with the bounty hunter Blue heading after his most recent target, the mercenary Jackal T. Jackal. Blue fights off most of Jackal's men but ends up being shot down by Jackal himself, crashing to the earth below and almost being killed by Jackal, only to be saved at the last moment by a mysterious hooded stranger that punches Jackal with the back of his fist and knocks him over. The stranger looks at Jackal, spooking him to the point he runs away.

Blue attempts to thank the hooded stranger but quickly becomes off-put by him when he realizes the stranger is, in fact, another bounty hunter known as Red. However, Red has built up a negative reputation for him, with many claiming he is a merciless monster that slaughters his enemies by the bucket load. However, Blue's assumptions of Red are quickly put to the test when Red gets easily distracted by a bunny-like alien he finds.

Not wanting to let Jackal get away, Blue decides to form a temporary partnership with Red, who goes after Jackal by himself. Red tears through Jackal's army and eventually faces off against Jackal himself in a ship versus ship battle. Red comes out the victor, ramming into Jackal's ship and crashing it. After this, Red has an unusually friendly conversation with Jackal,

Red asks Jackal a few questions, including why he was wanted in the first place. Jackal confesses he killed the Chancellor of a planet but that he is unable to say who hired him in fear of his boss killing him for doing so. A chipper as ever Red tells Jackal he understands and punches him in the face, knocking him out. Blue then finally shows up with a small army of other bounty hunters only to have Jackal thrown at his feet by Red, who then walks away.
