Tokyo 42 has got a release date (May 31) and a cheeky launch trailer, which vows not to waste your time and doesn't.

Intrigued? Jordan took a look at Tokyo 42 –check out his preview to decide if it's for you.

As you may or may not grasp from the brief 4.2 seconds of gameplay, Tokyo 42 is a stylish, pastel-coloured, isometric action game. If you're old enough to remember the classic Syndicate and Syndicate Wars, it looks a bit like that, but more colourful and kinetic. Challenging action gameplay is delivered via bullet physics, stealth systems, and a touch of platforming.

The premise: you've been framed for a murder you didn't commit, and to clear your name, are drawn into a world of assassins, corporate intrigue, and cats. There's an open-world story mode and deathmatch arenas for a bit of multiplayer.

Tokyo 42 is developed by British indies SMAC Games and published by Mode 7, the folks who gave us Frozen Synapse. If you're keen to see a bit more than 4.2 seconds of gameplay, check it out onSteam, or at itswebsite.
