Created in close cooperation with the creative teams behind the films, John Wick Hex is fight-choreographed chess brought to life as a video game, capturing the series' signature gun fu style while expanding its story universe. Players must make quick decisions and choose every action and attack they make, all the while considering their immediate cost and consequences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eFeaturing a unique blend of strategic momentum-based combat, John Wick Hex captures the feel of the unique tactical combat from the films and blurs the line between the strategy and action video game genres. Perform well and progress in the main story mode (which features an original story created for the game) to unlock new weapons, suit options and locations. Each weapon changes up the tactics you'll use and the manner in which you'll play. Ammo is finite and realistically simulated, so time your reloads and make the most of weapons you scavenge on the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eExperience an original new story set prior to the events of the films which sees John on a desperate mission to rescue Winston and Charon from a dangerous new adversary seeking his birthright. This story is brought to life by the world class voice talents of Ian McShane and Lance Reddick, reprising their iconic roles from the films, and voice acting legend Troy Baker, joining the stellar cast as the game's eponymous villain 'Hex'. John Wick Hex compliments the style of the films with a unique graphic noir art design and an original score by renowned composer Austin Wintory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Wick Hex is a fast-paced, single-player strategy game. It is a timeline-based tactics title that adapts the stylized action of the John Wick film series into a strategic, moment-to-moment decision-making format. It blends elements of turn-based tactics and real-time strategy to recreate the choreography and planning behind Wick's iconic gun fu. The game serves as a narrative prequel to the film series. The plot follows John Wick in an earlier stage of his career, as he is drawn into a rescue mission to save Continental manager Winston and concierge Charon from the clutches of Hex, a rogue high-table operative seeking power and revenge. The story unfolds through animated comic-book style cutscenes between missions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003ePlayers control John Wick on a hexagonal grid, progressing through a linear series of levels that each play out as tightly controlled combat scenarios. Time flows continuously but pauses after each player action or when an enemy appears. A timeline interface at the top of the screen displays the duration of every action, allowing players to predict enemy behavior and plan counters accordingly. Each move—whether firing a weapon, striking in melee, or evading—takes a specific amount of in-game time. Players must consider both distance and duration when engaging enemies, deciding whether to shoot, dodge, or perform a takedown based on how long it will take compared to the enemy's next move. Combat is further shaped by a Focus system, a resource required for actions like dodges, rolls, and takedowns. Focus can be replenished mid-fight, but enemy combatants can also use it, making some foes temporarily resistant to firearms until disoriented by melee attacks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eLevels are structured into chapters, each made up of several missions. Resources such as health and gear persist across these missions. Players can spend coins before each chapter to unlock bonuses or stash equipment. Weapons include pistols, rifles, and SMGs with different fire rates and ranges. After completing each level, players can view a real-time replay of their run through cinematic camera angles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe game features a graphic noir aesthetic with flat-shaded environments and bold color schemes. Each chapter offers distinct environments—from neon-lit nightclubs to snowy exteriors. Beyond the story mode, it includes a score-based challenge system, encouraging players to replay chapters for faster times, more efficient kills, and less resource use. An alternate Expedited mode adds further pressure by limiting the time available for each decision. If a player exceeds the five-second window, enemies begin moving fractionally in real time, simulating the urgency of a real firefight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e*** Data by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mobygames.com\/\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMobyGames.com\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e ***\u003c\/h3\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstyle\u003e.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }\u003c\/style\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"embed-container\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/x6Ro6OSLTF8\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, minimum-scale=0.1\"\u003e\u003ctitle\u003e19e4b8a8-c26c-11ed-ab6b-02420a000194.webp\u003c\/title\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block;-webkit-user-select: none;margin: auto;background-color: hsl(0, 0%, 90%);transition: background-color 300ms;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mobygames.com\/promos\/9652255-john-wick-hex-screenshot.jpg\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e☼\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, minimum-scale=0.1\"\u003e\u003ctitle\u003e19e4b8a8-c26c-11ed-ab6b-02420a000194.webp\u003c\/title\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block;-webkit-user-select: none;margin: auto;background-color: hsl(0, 0%, 90%);transition: background-color 300ms;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mobygames.com\/promos\/9652252-john-wick-hex-screenshot.jpg\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e☼\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, minimum-scale=0.1\"\u003e\u003ctitle\u003e19e4b8a8-c26c-11ed-ab6b-02420a000194.webp\u003c\/title\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block;-webkit-user-select: none;margin: auto;background-color: hsl(0, 0%, 90%);transition: background-color 300ms;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mobygames.com\/promos\/9652249-john-wick-hex-screenshot.jpg\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e☼\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, minimum-scale=0.1\"\u003e\u003ctitle\u003e19e4b8a8-c26c-11ed-ab6b-02420a000194.webp\u003c\/title\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block;-webkit-user-select: none;margin: auto;background-color: hsl(0, 0%, 90%);transition: background-color 300ms;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mobygames.com\/promos\/9652246-john-wick-hex-screenshot.jpg\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e☼\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, minimum-scale=0.1\"\u003e\u003ctitle\u003e19e4b8a8-c26c-11ed-ab6b-02420a000194.webp\u003c\/title\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block;-webkit-user-select: none;margin: auto;background-color: hsl(0, 0%, 90%);transition: background-color 300ms;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mobygames.com\/promos\/9652243-john-wick-hex-screenshot.jpg\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e☼\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, minimum-scale=0.1\"\u003e\u003ctitle\u003e19e4b8a8-c26c-11ed-ab6b-02420a000194.webp\u003c\/title\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block;-webkit-user-select: none;margin: auto;background-color: hsl(0, 0%, 90%);transition: background-color 300ms;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mobygames.com\/promos\/9652240-john-wick-hex-other.jpg\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e× Some Disclaimers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  × Video games are pre-owned unless otherwise specified\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  × Disc-based video games come with their case and cover art unless otherwise specified\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e         × PS1 Games May Not Have Their Front Cover Art\/Instruction Manual\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  × Cartridge-based video games come with just the cartridge unless otherwise specified\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  × CD \u0026amp; DVD based discs are resurfaced before we put them out for sale\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  × Pre-Owned games may have stickers or marks on them or their cases, either price tags from us or other stickers\/markings from other stores or owners.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Games A Plunder","offers":[{"title":"With Case and Cover Art","offer_id":45233437737121,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Without Case and Cover Art","offer_id":45233437769889,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0493\/4841\/1553\/files\/9643911-john-wick-hex-nintendo-switch-front-cover.jpg?v=1761141490","url":"https:\/\/gamesaplunder.com\/products\/john-wick-hex-switch","provider":"Games A Plunder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
