Overview
Initiation
It’s time for your initiation. You’re about the become an evil Joker, or a heroic Bat. Think of the initiation as the tutorial level. Here, you will learn how to use various gadgets, weapons, and support items. However, if you’re confident in your skilling skills, you can jump into the action anytime by selecting a gametype in the ‘play now’ menu.
Secret Identity
In a nutshell, your secret identity is who you are. You can access any time at the main menu, or when you are searching for a match. Here, you can customize almost anything. Access your loadouts to create a deadly class, or just change your costume to hide your true identity. You can also edit your calling card, gangs, or apply a mascot.
Track Record
At the main menu, you can access your track record. There’s no action to be found here. However, for all you Office Bats, you can read a neatly organized file about your feats, achievements, stamps, or stats. You can also look at the leaderboard to see who the best players in the world are.
Black Market
The Black Market is the perfect place if you need new things. Think of the Black Market as the online store. Here, you can buy calling card backgrounds, consumables, costumes, and mascots. Consumables are items you can buy that have a short-term effect on the game. For example, XP Boost and Team XP Boost. Each boost lasts for one hour, and doubles the XP for yourself or your team. Please remember, all Black Market purchases require real money, not in-game credits.
Weapons
Rifles
The rifles are your standard assault rifles used in many shooting games. You have access to three different rifles. The Dawn Patrol is a fully automatic military rifle. The Partisan is a long range 3-round burst weapon. The last option is the Huntsman, which is a semi-automatic hunting rifle.
Submachine Guns
Submachine guns are smaller than other weapons, but they are fast and lethal. You have access to two submachine guns in the game. The first is the Gatekeeper, a balanced lightweight gun. The second option is the Desperado, which has a rapid rate of fire, but goes through ammo quickly.
Heavy Weapons
If you want a gun that packs a better punch, then you’ll want a heavy weapon. There are three different heavy weapons. The first is the Shredder, a small weapon with a rapid rate of fire. It may have low damage, but the extreme rate of fire will give it the extra kick you need. The second option is the Jackhammer, which deals a great amount of damage. However, the Jackhammer slows you down and has a slow reload rate. The final option is the Deep Freezer. The Deep Freezer has a high amount of damage, range, accuracy, and can freeze your enemies where they stand.
Sniper Weapons
Using gadgets and map shortcuts, you can find great sniper spots in the game. There are three different sniper weapons. The Marshal is a fast firing sniper with low damage, and a high headshot damage multiplier. The Buccaneer is a long range high damage sniper, but has a slow rate of fire. The final option is the Bear-Stalker. The Bear-Stalker is a silent long-range weapon, and it shoots arrows instead of bullets. It has less accuracy than other snipers, but you can charge each shot for extra damage.
Shotguns
If you want more power, then you may have to sacrifice range. There are two shotgun options in the game. The Persuader is your standard shotgun, with high damage and a medium rate of fire. The Chaperone is a shotgun that sacrifices damage for a high rate of fire. It is still very lethal at short range.
Launchers
if you really want to pack a punch, then use a launcher. There are two homebrew launchers you can choose from. The first is a homebrew launcher that can shoot different projectiles, including homemade rockets and missiles. The second launcher is called the Bombardier, which is a slingshot that can arc different projectiles at your enemy.
Assistance
There is only one assistance weapon in the game, which is called the Motivator. The Motivator is a non-lethal weapon used on your teammates. It is used to heal your teammates, and provide a defense boost. It is use for support, not death.
Mods
Each weapon comes with its own weapon mods. Mods can include various sites, scopes, and ammo types. Also available are extended magazines, body odor sniffers, silencers, and muzzle breaks. Body odor sniffers are used on snipers, and help you locate nearby enemies.
Paint Jobs
If you don’t like the plain look of guns, then feel free to paint your weapons. Each weapon has paint jobs you can unlock by completing challenges and performing feats. Paint jobs include desert, digital, gold, hearts, cheetah, pink cheetah, ivy, Riddler, silver, skull, woodland, snow, and snowflakes.
Support Items
Support items are items that you carry around to help you throughout the match. Support items can be lethal or non-lethal, and have different effects. They are very handy to have with you throughout the game.
Pipe Bomb
The Pipe Bomb is your standard timed explosive. Once the fuse goes out, it explodes. You can hold it longer to let the fuse burn before you throw it, but if you hold it too long it will blow up in your hand.
Impact Grenade
The Impact Grenade is an explosive that does not have a timer. Instead, it detonates as soon as it comes in contact with a surface. You can hit an enemy directly with it to receive deadly results.
Boomerang
The Boomerang is a non-lethal weapon that can target multiple enemies at once. It is nearly impossible to dodge, and stuns the enemies when it comes in contact with them. Once stunned, enemies can be mopped up easily.
Hatchet
The hatchet is your ordinary thrown weapon. Although difficult to use, it kills enemies instantly when the blade pierces their flesh. The Hatchet is the most lethal of all the support items.
Shuriken
The Shuriken is yet another thrown weapon. Although it is not as lethal as the Hatchet, it can target multiple enemies at once. The Shuriken deals enough damage that you can easily finish off your foes after hitting them with it.
Bear Trap
The Bear Trap is your ordinary bear trap, although bear traps do not show up in video games often. This bear trap can be placed on the ground where enemies can step on them. Once an enemy steps in the trap, their movement and turns are impaired. Enemies can manually remove the trap.
Trap-in-the-Box
The Trap-in-the-Box is a Jack-in-the-Box with a twist. Instead of a creepy clown, a bomb pops out. It is proximity-activated, and deals a heavy amount of damage to the enemy.
Body Armor
Body Armor is exactly what it sounds like. It protects you from taking damage, with some exceptions. It does not stop penetrator ammo, freeze damage, boomerangs, and bear traps.
Energy Drink
The Energy Drink is very simple. When used, it restores health over a certain amount of time.
Gadgets
Gadgets are nifty pieces of equipment that can be applied to each loadout. There are multiple gadgets that have different effects. Most of the gadgets help you move around the map quickly, efficiently, and lethally.
Glider Rig
The Glider Rig allows you to fly through the air. You can glide from the roofs of buildings, or use vents scattered around the map to get big air. While you are gliding, you can perform Dive Bomb attacks on enemies.
Grapple Gun
The Grapple Gun allows you to easily move around the map by grabbing on to walls or objects. The Grapple Gun then pulls you to where you want to go. However, if your grapple meter runs out, you must wait for it to recharge before grabbing on to another object.
Rollerskates
If you’ve ever used Rollerskates, you know what they do. They simply roll you around. When using Rollerskates, you can move much more quickly than you can by walking. However, you sacrifice maneuverability, and tend to roll around while standing still.
Spring Boots
Spring Boots are boots that, when charged, allow you to jump great distances through the air. They recover very quickly. You can confuse your enemies with jumping, or access elevated areas of the map.
Inflatable Insoles
Inflatable Insoles are similar to Spring Boots, but have different outcomes. Inflatable Insoles do not let you jump as high, but they allow you to double jump. With Inflatable Insoles, a normal jump is 40% higher than usual.
Targeting Goggles
Targeting Goggles are used to reveal enemy locations. You can tag enemies, which allows your teammates to see them. Each time a tagged enemy is killed, you receive an assist.
Ninja Smoke Bomb
The Ninja Smoke Bomb is a gadget that allows you to become invisible. However, while invisible you are unable to use weapons or support items.
Fun Facts 1&2
There are two different lists of Fun Facts that you can choose for your loadout. Fun Facts are similar to perks, and give you benefits in game. For example, extra health, or extra damage.
Horse Healthy
Horse Healthy gives you a higher amount of health, and allows you to be healed faster by energy drinks, care packages, motivators, and care stations.

Rampage

Psych Profile
Psych Profiles are relatively simple to understand. Each Psych Profile has traits that affect the way you earn XP in a game. Each Psych Profile has its own pros and cons. It is best to try out Psych Profiles for yourself, and see which works best for you.
Teams
This game has a very distinct set of teams, both with very customizable members. On one side there’s the Bats. If you haven’t already guessed, the Bats fight for Batman. They make homebrew weapons, gadgets, and support items to fight evil. The other team, the Jokerz, fight for Joker. This game is not a simple ‘red vs. blue’ scenario. Instead, there are psychopath heroic bats fighting insane evil clowns.
Customization
This game offers an extreme level of customization. You can customize almost anything, including body, face, voice, clothes, and mascot. The extensive level of customization gives you endless possibilities on how to make your character very unique.
Body Type.
Body type is an important factor in character customization. Not only does it change your look, but it changes how you play the game. You can pick from different body types such as speedy, nimble, tough, burly, and mighty. The bigger you are, the slower you are. However, the bigger you are, the more health you have, and the more damage your melee can deal. You must decide what you want to sacrifice to increase other traits.
Face
Though body type has an effect on the game, other features do not. You can customize your face to different types of faces such as handlebars, breach, and chops. Customizing your face does not affect gameplay.
Voice
You can change the voice of your character. Other players will be able to hear your voice in game, but it does not affect gameplay. You can choose from a variety of voices for both teams, Bats and Jokerz. To further customize your voice, you can adjust the pitch.
Costumes
To make your character unique, you should change your costume. Each team will have their own costumes, which you can change in game. You can buy Bat costumes and Jokerz Costumes at the Secret Identity menu. To purchase pieces for your costume, you must obtain Costume Coins. You can use the coins to purchase shirts, pants, shoes, logos, capes, hair, makeup, and much more.
Mascots
If you get lonely during the game, you can customize your character with a mascot. A mascot is someone who follows you around in game. You don’t unlock your first mascot until your first promotion. If you want a mascot immediately, you can purchase one at the Black Market. However, be warned. Mascots may give your position away in game.
Maps
Gotham City Impostors includes access to various run-down areas throughout Gotham. There are five maps in the game. Each map is available in multiplayer, and supports each gametype. Each map also includes basic, intermediate, and expert time trials which can be accessed through the ‘challenge’ gametype. Make good use of the many trampolines, vents, and ramps scattered around the maps, which help you move around quickly and efficiently.
Ace Chemical
The first map is Ace Chemical. Ace Chemical is located in a chemical processing plant. The chemical processing plant consists of several surrounding buildings, which you can easily move through. With the help of your gadgets, you can easily access rooftops and elevated areas to navigate the plant.
The Docks
The second map available to you is The Docks. Gotham Docks Pier 8 is a run-down dock with a nice view of the city. Instead of tall buildings, this map consists of open area, and a few buildings you can navigate through. Be sure to read the ‘swim at your own risk’ sign. Although you can run around in the water, you cannot swim. If you go too far, you will die.
Crime Alley
The third map is Crime Alley. Crime Alley consists of a main street, and many back alleys. You can quickly move through the dark alleys, gun through the main street, or access rooftops to move around. The area is barricaded, and the outside of it is filled with deadly nerve toxins. If you try to leave, the gas will kill you.
Amusement Mile
The fourth map is Amusement Mile. If you haven’t guessed, Amusement Mile is an amusement park in Gotham. Amusement Mile is one of the larger maps in the game, and consists of the Fun Hole, the House of Boos, and the Lair of the Krakken. There are other buildings on the map such as arcades and stores. Since this map is large, it is very helpful to use gadgets, ramps, trampolines, and vents to move around.
Gotham Power
The fifth and final map is Gotham Power. This map is located in Gotham Light & Power, which has been keeping Gotham powered since 1909. This is another large map, with plenty of surrounding buildings. Move around the buildings, and rooftops, but do not try to escape. The area is surrounded by electric barriers that will kill you if you touch them.
Game Types
Team Deathmatch
The first gametype on the list is Team Deathmatch. If you’ve ever played a first person shooter, you know exactly what this is. The objective is simple. Kill the players on the enemy team. Whoever gets the most kills wins.
Psych Warfare
Gotham City Impostors offers a few very creative games, such as Psych Warfare. This game is all about intimidation. Somewhere on each map there is a brain washing machine. Once the game starts, each team will compete to grab the battery needed to power the machine. Defend the machine with your team as it powers up. The opposite team has a chance to grab the battery, and take it to their own machine, before it powers up. If the brain washing machine reaches full power, the opposite team will be intimidated by stunning propaganda. During this time period, the opposite team will not be able to use weapons or gadgets. While they are stunned, they can slap the enemy or the enemy brainwashing machine to turn it off.
Fumigation
If you’re afraid of bats or poisonous gas, this game isn’t for you. This game is similar to domination. There are three gasblasters on every map. Capture each gasblaster, and defend it from the enemy team. Each team’s gas will fill the atmosphere. The goal is to reach critical mass, which will then release a deadly attack against the opposite team. If the Bats win, bats will attack the Jokerz. However, if the Jokerz win, all Bats will be poisoned with nerve toxins.
Challenges
If you’re really not into multiplayer, then you can play a solo challenge game. Each map in the game has a set of challenges that you can complete for XP. Ace Chemical, The Docks, Crime Alley, Amusement Mile, and Gotham Power all have basic, intermediate, and expert challenges. Race through each challenge to test your abilities with the grapple, glider, skates, springs, and insoles. Test yourself to obtain gold medals in each challenge.
