Summary

Batman: Arkham Knight – A Flip of a Coin (2015) Review

Batman: Arkham Knight – A Flip of a Coin is the second story pack DLC for Batman: Arkham Knight, the critically acclaimed action-adventure game developed by Rocksteady Studios. The DLC was released on October 20, 2015, for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows.

A Flip of a Coin puts players in control of Robin, Batman’s famous sidekick, as he investigates a money laundering operation run by the villain Two-Face. Robin soon discovers that Two-Face is planning to use the laundered money to fund a terrorist attack on Gotham City.

The DLC features a new story campaign that is set after the events of the main game. The campaign is divided into three chapters, each of which features a unique boss fight. The first chapter sees Robin facing off against Two-Face’s henchmen in a steel mill. The second chapter takes place in a museum, where Robin must defeat Two-Face’s right-hand man, Alberto Falcone. The third and final chapter concludes the story in Two-Face’s lair, where Robin must confront the villain himself.

In addition to the new story campaign, A Flip of a Coin also includes two new AR challenge maps. The first map is set in the Batcave, while the second is set in the GCPD lockup. These maps can be played solo or cooperatively with a friend.

Gameplay

A Flip of a Coin plays similarly to the main Batman: Arkham Knight game. Robin has access to a variety of gadgets and abilities that he can use to take down enemies and solve puzzles. Robin can also use his grappling hook to navigate the environment and reach new areas.

One of the new features in A Flip of a Coin is Robin’s ability to use a new gadget called the “Disruptor.” The Disruptor can be used to disable enemy weapons and gadgets, making it a valuable tool in combat.
