How it plays
How does The Untouchables play?
The game presents a sequence of side-view action scenes, with occasional changes in activity and viewpoint. The main objective is to move through criminal strongholds, defeat gangsters, avoid hazards, and complete scenario-specific tasks based on events from the film.
Players control Eliot Ness and use movement, jumping, attacks, and firearms where available. Progress is structured around advancing through stages rather than building a character or managing a persistent inventory. Each section has its own threats and timing demands, so learning enemy patterns and conserving opportunities to attack are important.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play The Untouchables?
Study each scene before committing to movement, since hazards and enemies are often placed to punish rushing.
Use cover or safe spacing when available, attack enemies as they enter range, and keep moving through sections that spawn threats from behind. The game’s varied stages reward learning their layouts more than relying on a single tactic.
