Review: City Without Hope 78/100
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 04 22, 2014
Simple, straightforward post-apocalyptic actioner, with gritty texture and bleak atmosphere. The unnamed protagonist seems to be a carbon copy of a hundred other grim, taciturn anti-heroes, but then again, the short story format doesn't offer much room for rich characterization. Despite the familiarity of character, setting and premise, Halkyard's writing style effectively creates mood and details suspense. A small winner that merits more complexity or originality in future efforts.
