Once outside, you’ll need to blend with the townsfolk to avoid recapture. Establish contact with the criminal underworld and stay one step ahead of the police dragnet.
Set in the deep south of the 1980s, American Fugitive is a love-letter to the classic movies and games of old.

i tried to get into this game multiple times, but as you might see from my short playtime the game just couldn't keep me interested. it's just boring, and i can't force myself to play it any longer. Not only is every mission that i played just a fetch quest, but even the open world and fighting with the police is just boring, and i end up turning the game off after a couple missions, or sometimes even just one. it doesn't even have great story or characters to carry the otherwise underwhelming gameplay. They also suck. it feels like and looks like a mobile gta clone in every way. Including the awful dialogue artwork. To the point i had to check the google play store to see if it's just a cheap mobile port, but to my surprise it doesn't seem to be. shocking. i assume i bought this from a sale for very low price, but even then it's not worth the money. The only reason you would kinda like this, is if you have absolutely nothing else to play. But we are on Steam, there are thousands of other games you could play and spend your money on.
Awesome and fun game!
Not GTA Vice City. GTA Little City.
Hey Steamers, TL;DR review here. Top Down GTA, story isn't that good, feels undercooked. Nothing like getting stuck on an invisible box, tree, you can get a tank but other cars can just bully you around. Lots of flaws. 6.5/10 - That being said, it's definitely fun enough to warrant a purchase on a big discount. Below is the $ it is right now during summer sale: $2.00 is when I bought it, good deal. $4 is pretty solid. Currency Current Price Converted Price Lowest Recorded Price U.S. Dollar -80% $3.99 $3.99 $1.99 - 90% $1.99
A pretty good game with a story that progressively gets more convoluted and unfortunately a horrible, very anti-climactic ending.
Not a bad pass time 45 minute session here and there fun little game
