Step into a dystopian society where your past transgressions have landed you on the wrong side of the law. In Watchlist, developed and published by Fletcher's Games, you're tasked with a grim mission: track down and eliminate 'undesirables' whose existence threatens the established order.

This retro-inspired twin-stick shooter blends fast-paced action with a compelling premise, challenging players to atone for their crimes through relentless pursuit.

The core gameplay revolves around intense shootouts, where precise aiming and strategic movement are key. You'll face a variety of enemies, culminating in challenging boss battles that test your skills and adaptability.

A standout feature is the deep weapon customization system. With four distinct weapon types available, each can be individually upgraded and combined in myriad ways to create devastatingly powerful armaments.

This allows for a highly personalized combat experience, encouraging experimentation to find the perfect loadout for any situation.

Watchlist also supports local co-op, allowing you to team up with a friend to tackle the mission together. This shared-screen experience adds another layer of strategy and chaos, as you coordinate your attacks and cover each other's backs.

The game's retro aesthetic, combined with its challenging roguelike elements, offers a nostalgic yet fresh take on the shoot 'em up genre.
