Cliffhanger Overview
Cliffhanger adapts a 1993 film narrative into a side scrolling action format. The player controls Gabe Walker, a mountain rescue specialist who responds to a distress call that turns out to be a trap set by terrorists transporting stolen money.
Gameplay involves navigating environments where movement includes walking, running, and jumping. Combat abilities consist of standard punches and kicks, which can also be executed during a jump. Environmental traversal presents specific obstacles, such as crossing ropes between cliffs.
Hostile wildlife like wolves and birds pose a threat, alongside environmental hazards. These include falling rocks and snow dislodging from cliffs and structures, making the setting itself a significant source of danger.
