Out of Action

Set in a rain-drenched, neon-soaked future, Out of Action is a high-octane multiplayer shooter that feels like a love letter to 90s dark anime. It places players in the role of cybernetically enhanced operatives fighting through a gritty urban dystopia where speed and precision are everything. The gameplay is defined by its unique “multiplayer bullet-time” mechanic, allowing for stylized, slow-motion gunfights that don’t disrupt the flow for other players. Beyond the visceral combat, the game focuses heavily on “action-RPG” elements, where you can deeply customize your loadout with cybernetic augmentations and specialized perks to create a unique combat style. Out of Action serves as a raw and unflinching sequel to Chris Cocks’ famous military memoir, Fireforce. The book begins by detailing the final, grueling months of the Rhodesian Bush War, where Cocks served in a specialized anti-terrorist unit during a time of immense political and social collapse. However, the heart of the narrative lies in its second half, which chronicles the author’s fifteen-year struggle to reintegrate into civilian society. It is a hauntingly honest look at the “invisible wounds” of war—specifically PTSD and addiction—and follows Cocks’ difficult journey through the ruins of his personal life toward ultimate self-acceptance and redemption in a transformed Zimbabwe. In this classic 90s martial arts thriller, Billy Blanks stars as John Coleman, a former special forces soldier who has traded the battlefield for the quiet life of a martial arts instructor. His peace is shattered when a close friend is murdered after discovering a cache of stolen high-tech weaponry, leading Coleman to realize that the local authorities are deeply involved in a criminal conspiracy. Forced back into the fray, Coleman must use his elite combat skills to navigate a web of corruption and take down the syndicate responsible. It’s a straightforward, high-energy revenge story that emphasizes heavy-hitting choreography and the “one-man army” trope.
