4.3Control the Batman and hunt down your targets one by one. Use your surroundings and shadows to stay hidden from flashlights. Targets with automatic machine guns can be lurking around each corner. Attack them swiftly and escape without being spotted. Can you help Batman complete his mission?
You will die a lot, and that is the design. Arcade games expect it. Each run lasts until a single mistake, and then you are back at the start with a slightly better sense of the timing. Over a session of fifteen minutes you might play twenty rounds. Somewhere in the middle one of them goes well, and the number at the top of the screen jumps.
Batman Assassin is honest. There are no upgrades to buy and no grind, just you and your reaction time. Because it runs free in a browser tab, it is the sort of game you can open on a whim, play for five minutes, and leave without a trace.
Players who miss the directness of old cabinet games, and younger ones who have never seen a cabinet but like a dare. It suits phones well, so it is handy for anyone waiting in a queue.
