Meet Rubi, the star of WET. She's a problem solver, and if you've got the cash she'll shoot and slice your worries away. Expect Rubi to sport the usual set of skills you'd expect from your everyday action star. Armed with two pistols and a samurai sword, she jumps, slides, wall runs, and slows things down with bullet time.
But it's the slick way Rubi moves that sets her apart from other gun star heroes like Lara Croft or Tequila. She moves with style, and blasts away at bad guys non-stop with WET's auto-aiming feature while contorting her body in all sorts of imaginative positions. But formaximum efficiency,you'll want to manually target multiple enemies while flowing in super slow motion for those John Woo moments. Close quarter kills also activate cinematic finishing moves that have Rubi mercilessly filleting mercenaries.
