PIGFACE casts you as a violent criminal whose past has caught up with them. You wake in an abandoned warehouse, discover that a bomb has been drilled into your head, and receive a job from the people holding you hostage. That grim setup gives the action a specific motive: each contract is part of an effort to survive and get closer to whoever is pulling the strings.
Its first-person shooting is described as kinetic and fast-paced, but the design also gives players room to approach combat with a broad arsenal. Shotguns, rifles, pistols, hammers, landmines and grenades are among the listed tools. Missions use a combat-sandbox format, with earnings spent on expanding a loadout through a Black Market offering weapons and kevlar vests. Masks add another layer to the equipment choices, as unlocked faces enhance the ability to kill.
The store listing identifies PIGFACE as single-player, so its contracts are framed as a solitary campaign rather than a shared multiplayer match. The blend of hostage-driven blackmail, customizable gear and mask-based enhancements defines the game's particular take on hard-edged shooter action.
