The Club is an organization that recruits "outsiders" to fight in an underground bloodsport. Those "outsiders" come from every possible corner of the earth but have one thing in common: they are good at killing people.
Eight characters with different skills await the player. For example, Renwick is an ex-cop who excels at speed, strength, and stamina. Once the decision has been made, the tournament needs to be chosen. Set for example in a Stahlwerk in Germany, each tournament consists of six rounds. Each round has a different objective, such as racing to the exit before time runs out or surviving in a limited space.
But all challenges have one thing in common: The player looks at his character's back and shoots their way through hordes of enemies. For each kill, the player gets points and builds up a combo-multiplier. How many points the player gets depends on how high the multiplier is, where they hit the enemy, and if they performed a special action before the kill.
The game also features eight different multiplayer modes, including normal Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch, as well as modes like Team Fox Hunt, where teams need to kill the fox of the enemy team to win.
