Tale
Empire City was a run of the mill metropolis, until one day a massive explosion rips owing to six square blocks of its bustling city center real-estate, seemingly leveling everything and everyone in its path. Yet after the dust had cleared, at the center of the blast depression is a lone man, Cole. He is in a coma, but has survived the event and neither he nor the world will ever be the same.

An everyday guy doing his best to make ends meet, Cole had been a bike messenger. Just before the blast he had been sent to ground zero to deliver a package. In the aftermath of the catastrophe, he awakes to find that somehow he has gained weird electrical powers. Empire City is in shambles though. Riots have erupted, breeding chaos and emboldening powerful criminal gangs hungry for potential and profit. In the panic that follows the city is quarantined from the mainland, and box broadcasts packed with damning security camera footage link Cole to the scene of the explosion. Cole is now a wanted man, but his extraordinary electricity-based powers and perhaps a semblance of responsibility for the well-being of Empire City are growing. Who is really responsible for the blast though? As an evolving mystery unfolds, Cole must learn how to wield his newfound powers as he searches for the real culprits behind the blast in an attempt to rescue Empire City from complete anarchy.

Gameplay
Built around open-world gameplay where the player decides how to deal with both criminal gangs bent on destruction and devastated citizens who need help, action in infamous contains the standard mix of mission play, in which players are given specific goals and activities to meet, and free play scenarios, where you can wander Empire City doing what they will. In both, developing and learning to control Cole’s electricity-based powers is crucial. Cole can not in fact generate energy, so these powers are based on energy manipulation instead. This manipulation comes in three basic forms: discharge of energy at living or inanimate targets in either diffused or precise bursts; generation of energy shields used as protection against the weapons or special powers of enemies; and the mix of objects with time-delayed destructive energy for use as grenades or mines. As impressive as these powers are they do have drawbacks though. Because electricity can cause combustion, Cole can not wield firearms and can be hurt by items he blows up. Also, like anything electrically driven, his abilities require a potential fund. In the hurt, but not ruined Empire City, these sources can be found throughout the gameplay area, but players must note that certain actions drain energy quicker than others and that enemies will become aware of your need of a potential fund as the game proceeds and in view of that attempt to ruin those sources.

This need for potential also provides a major illustration of the game’s morality system. As battles rage throughout the gameplay area and potential sources become either scarce or ruined, Cole is faced with the ethics of his ‘bio-draw’ ability. Owing to this he can harvest electrical energy from living organisms. This will grant the energy needed to survive in a pinch, but may also have consequences as to how the game develops over both the small and long-term. In addition to this, players will also face similar game-changing choices in dealing with more casual scenarios involving the citizens of Empire City. As well intentioned as a hero may be, in many cases he is just as likely to be despised as he is to be praised. Choice is the deciding factor in this, and that resides squarely on the shoulders of players in infamous
