The briefing

About this game

In Assassin: Special Edition, a hired assassin is dropped behind enemy lines with a mission to eliminate the antagonist, Midan. Before the final assassination, the player must disable Midan's power source.

The assassin's signature weapon is a razor-edged boomerang. Three skill levels—Rookie, Arcade, and Ultimate—alter the difficulty and progressively unlock more of the game. Higher levels feature tougher enemies alongside greater rewards.
