Overview and Gameplay
Crack Down focuses on two agents infiltrating fortified zones to plant explosives across marked targets while fighting enemy patrols and escaping before detonation timers expire. The action takes place in top-down maze-like stages that demand route planning and quick reactions as pressure increases from both enemies and countdowns.
