Tackle For Loss Reveal Trailer Is Taken Meets Hotline Miami

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of gaming experience under my belt, I must say I’m intrigued by the upcoming game Tackle for Loss. The fusion of action-packed storytelling, reminiscent of Liam Neeson’s Taken, and the gritty, retro aesthetics akin to Hotline Miami has me hooked.


2008 saw Liam Neeson transforming into a dynamic action star with the release of “Taken”. This film, about a retired CIA agent battling to save his kidnapped teenage daughter, seems to be a major influence on Indifferent Penguin’s upcoming game, “Tackle for Loss”. In this game, the protagonist, who remains unnamed, brings his own distinctive talents to bear against those who dared to abduct his daughter, as shown in the trailer for “Tackle for Loss”. As a gamer, I can’t wait to see how this story unfolds!

One underlying influence for the game appears to be Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), a neurodegenerative condition frequently linked with concussions in American professional sports athletes, particularly football players. The protagonist of Tackle for Loss recognizes his affliction and the aggressive tendencies it triggers within him. His tale carries an undercurrent of sadness as he confesses to forgetting his daughter’s name, but all he recalls is his affection for her, and he’ll fight off any adversaries necessary to get her back.

In a nod to Hotline Miami, Tackle for Loss boasts a vintage visual aesthetic. The game offers strategic elements, enabling players to acquire new moves and enhance attack abilities as they advance through the narrative. As you journey, you’ll unearth the mystery surrounding the kidnapping of the protagonist’s daughter and unravel a broader conspiracy linked to the criminal underworld that’s responsible.

German game developer Daniel Wichterich created Tackle for Loss by himself for his company, Indifferent Penguin. The game doesn’t currently have a release date, but it is available on Steam’s wishlist.
