About this game
The Ballad of a True Thug is a crime ballad written in lead and blood. Your story of revenge begins at the bottom—in the dark alleys of Europe and the neon traps of '90s America. To reach those who took everything, you must rise from a small-time crook to a living legend of the criminal underworld.
Here, every fight is a dance on the edge of a knife. Slow down time to find the right move, dodge bullets with a desperate slide, and use everything from cheap alcohol to a heavy gun to gain an advantage. One false step, one miss, and this ballad will end forever.
Destiny awaits your move. Make it.
