I, too, was anticipating some relationship to the arcade classic, but that game’s over four decades old at this point so I can’t say it’s surprising that’s not the case. The younger male audience this obviously targets would have no recollection of that game.
Frankly, this title seems perfectly timed for the mindset of self-righteous & revenge-upon-my-perceived-enemies-minded (no matter how inaccurate that may be in our current “post-truth” reality) right-wing audiences. It’ll unfortunately probably do well, but not due to the likes of us.
