Inbetween constructive critiques and compliments, one of the things we've been hearing is just how hard as s#%t Pecaminosa is, especially the boss battles! Well, the same ones who might have made your life hard are the ones that are here to help.
The truth is that we never wanted this game to be Enter the Gungeon, where you could spend bullets to your heart's content. We'll explain why: Pecaminosa has an exploratory character. That was always the aspect we wanted our players to invest more in. It is this stance, that we recommend so that you can experience the game in its whole, and you can turn what looks hard, into easy.
Among other ways, exploring the city allows you to collect rewards (such as currency to buy more consumables and ammunition in stores) and accrue more experience points - it's a good way to level up in the early game and have a couple more points to spend on the LIFE system.
And those LIFE attributes are the ones that will make your road easier and your clashes with the bad guys go smoother - which isn't to say you'll have a red carpet laid out for you, nonetheless.

More tips from Cereal Games

Breakables and Fists (Best Friends Forever): Save your ammo, buddy. This is our n1 tip. And think about it: there are way more reactionary and dangerous things than a wooden box, aren't there?
"But I can't resist using bullets, damn it!" Ok... Ok... you can bet on Luck then. According to our team's "ultra testers", it works like this: More drops = Better chance of getting more ammo. More crits = More damage per bullet.
Want to use that gray matter? That works also. Intelligence increases your range and will net you better deals at stores. And speaking of stores: they renew their stock while you are advancing on the story (don't forget to restock often on your daily dose of bad guy suppositories).
"I wanna get physical!" Fine, you got Force and Endurance at your disposal. With Force, you get more HP, and you can solve any differences you might have with the delicate know-how of your knuckles. Endurance, dear detective, will increase your Stamina, improve your attack speed and reduce your perk cooldowns.
"How about a recipe of Luck and Endurance?" It's great for a nasty cough: you'll get an increased rate of fire and more critical chances. Hitting crits is the best way of maximizing your damage per bullet. If you manage to obtain the Valentine Massacre perk, you can shred bosses in mere seconds.
Don't forget you've also got Poker and Blackjack. We don't know how your gambling skills are, but it's a great way to get money to spend on bullets.
So what's the perfect formula? The one you pick. You own this game and it offers several dosages and balances. Find your style, detective. And have fun, Cereal Games

Pecaminosa blends the charm of pixel art and the mechanics of an Action RPG with the atmosphere of film noir. The Legend of Zelda combined with Touch of Evil. You have not seen and played anything like it. Interrogate suspects, explore a city dominated by crime and sin, and never hesitate to use your fists and guns. These are hard times in a very tough city.



Customize your character's appearance and equipment and have it evolve through the L.I.F.E. system, distributing experience points into four different parameters: Luck, Intelligence, Force and Endurance. Play Blackjack to earn extra money, visit the liquor store, socialize with the scum, visit the police station and the brothel, in addition to other venues recreated with great graphic detail… and don't trust anyone. There is a bullet with your name on it, and it's eager to meet you.



Welcome to Pecaminosa, a border city between the United States and Mexico where gambling, corruption and crime reign in its dusty streets. A home for all those who live outside the law... and for our protagonist, John Souza, a former detective, a man who lived through better times before finding comfort at the bottom of the bottle.

John would never have suspected that his next job was going to come at the hands of a ghost. Charlie's "Two Angels" spectre appears to him with a task: to capture his former associates in order to achieve redemption for their sins and be able to pass through the gates of Heaven. To hunt the living in order to bring peace to the dead.
