Anger Foot understands that form and function should fit together like a bunioned foot in an orthopedic shoe. The first-person shooter from developer Free Lives and publisher Devolver Digital rarely does anything that isn't fulfilling multiple purposes at once, smartly and consistently balancing what looks and feels good across its ten-hour campaign.

Form, Function, And Anger Foot

Take, for example, the title character's bright green skin, which you frequently see when he raises his leg to plant a powerful kick in an enemy's chest. It's a bold aesthetic choice, contrasting with whatever shoe is equipped, and visually sets Anger Foot apart from other shooter heroes. It fits the look of the '90s and '00s NickToons the game's aesthetic is drawing from, and brings to mind the green of toxic sludge, a reminder that our high-kicking hero was molded by the ultra-polluted Sh*t City, where all crime is legal. It keeps you thinking about the game's central mechanic — kicking dudes — and how playing the game well will earn you better shoes so you can kick dudes even better.
