Different upgrades include additional health blocks for Rubi, as well as increased firing rate and damage for the pistols, shotguns, submachine guns, and crossbows. Based on performance in these areas, Style Points will be given, allowing the purchase of upgrades to both Rubi and her weapons. There are also motorway sections that feature shooting integrated with quick time events.Īt the end of each stage of play, the player will be graded on three different factors: Completion Time, Acrobatics, and Average Multiplier. Rubi's attacks become faster and stronger to fight against large numbers of enemies during these sections, and killing chains of enemies extends her psychotic fury. These sections are presented in noir style, with bold red, black and white visuals. In some sections of the game, Rubi's face will get covered in blood and she will go into a murderous, berserker-like rage.
Rubi can also regain health by finding bottles of whiskey. Racking up kills and collecting multiplier icons gains multipliers, which increase score and the rate at which Rubi regenerates health. She can also combine her attacks, such as wall running off a person or performing a sword uppercut while sliding. During these acrobatic actions, the game enters slow motion, and she will automatically aim at a second enemy, allowing the player to shoot at two enemies at once. The main character, Rubi, carries twin pistols and a sword (she can also carry dual shotguns, submachine guns, or crossbows), and can fire while jumping, sliding on her knees, and running on walls. Wet is an action game that combines shooting and swordplay with acrobatics and gore. A sequel to the game was announced in 2011, but was cancelled. The game received mixed reviews from critics, garnering praise for its gameplay, music, and production values, but was criticized for its graphics, levels, and lack of innovation. Originally set to be published by Vivendi Games, Bethesda Softworks eventually announced that they would become the game's publisher. Wet 's title derives from the euphemism " wet work" – a messy job or task that involves one's hands becoming wet with blood. In its story and setting, Wet follows heroine Rubi Malone (voiced by actress Eliza Dushku), a "problem-solver". The game's gameplay revolves around killing opponents with both firearms and swords while engaging in acrobatic moves.
A PlayStation Portable version was planned, but ultimately cancelled. Wet (stylized as WET) is a 2009 third-person shooter action video game, developed by Artificial Mind & Movement and published by Bethesda Softworks for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 video game consoles.
