About This Game

Welcome to New Queens…

…where fists fly, bullets rain and crime pays.

Taking place across the snow-covered Winter of 1990 and the sun-bleached streets of Summer ‘96, The Henchmen chronicles your career criminal’s rise through the ranks. Starting off as a low-level street thug and culminating in a clash of the crime lords, New Queens is yours to reign in blood - or leave in a body bag.

Combining 90’s nostalgia with modern design principles, The Henchmen shakes up the classic open world formula with combo-driven combat, arcade driving physics and full co-op support; delivering a pulse pounding, power-sliding, partner-ready take on the crime sandbox.

Whether you’re behind the barrel of your gun or the wheel of a hot new ride, you’re about to show this city what it takes to own the underworld.

Features

  • Two player co-op, with both split-screen and shared screen support,

  • A skill-based combat system that trades combos, dodges and deft manoeuvres for health and ammo rewards.,

  • Intense cop car chases (dedicated powerslide button included!),

  • Optional challenges and hidden collectibles - unlocking faster rides, more explosive weaponry and game-changing new equipment.,

  • A thumping 90’s Techno soundtrack - plus hidden audio tapes containing your favourite tracks from DOSMan games!,

  • Customisable graphics options. Mix and match graphical effects from the hardware-accelerated PCs of the 90s, to the polygonal purity of the PSX. Your memories are yours to replicate!,

  • Something old, something new. Mixing retro sensibilities with modern-day QoL features, The Henchmen cherishes your retro gaming memories while injecting a fresh new spin.
