You are the CEO of a company that has been infiltrated by werewolves, and it’s your job to save your employees, and eventually the entire city, from their dastardly schemes.

The Executive combines a fast-paced combat system, timing based running and platforming, 120 hand-crafted levels, a full inventory of moves and upgrades, and a simple mining company simulation for earning money, all into one cohesive experience. The fighting engine evokes a cross between Street Fighter II and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. Players strike and block at various heights while watching enemies for signs of attacks. The platforming (or “stunt”) segments require precise timing, similar to Elite Beat Agents but with an emphasis on visual timing instead of musical rhythm. Both these mechanics are brought together by the SP bar, which allows players to execute gesture-based special moves like flame kicks, health restoration, and even morphing the character’s arm into a silver spike to impale foes.
