[dgstorm]

​

There's a stylish new action game for Android available on the Google Play Store, and it is supposedly a game from famed movie director John Woo. It's called BloodStroke and sells for only $0.99 at this moment. Your character's name is Lotus, and she is a private security and combat specialist who has been betrayed by her employer. Here's a quote with a description,

Legendary filmmaker John Woo presents his action-packed mobile debut, Bloodstroke.
Gun in one hand, a blade in the other, Private Security Agent, Mai Lee – codenamed Lotus, shoots and slices through the street of Hong Kong and Beijing to ensure the safety of her first assignment.

We aren't sure if they just licensed his name to help sell the game, or if John Woo actually had much action in the development of this game, but it definitely looks like something that fits his style. Of course, this is the guy who brought us Face Off, Mission Impossible II and many more, so we wouldn't expect anything less with his name headlining it. Check it out and let us know what you think!

The game looks great but I usually have a tough time controlling these types of games on touch screens...
