2048. Following the arrest of a prominent community leader, New York stands in disarray. Suspicions and allegations run rife throughout the city, as an insidious drug known as ‘Shard’ spreads throughout the underworld. With the city’s future in doubt, three hardened citizens rise to discover the truth and uncover a conspiracy threatening to alter the city’s fate.
Inspired by tech noir classics, Disjunction is an intensely atmospheric stealth-action RPG that follows a trinity of interwoven narratives, and features a reactive story where your actions have real, persistent consequences. Choose your playstyle and use an arsenal of futuristic tech, cybernetic upgrades and weapons to blast through levels in brutally fast combat, or take a silent approach by using stealth and non-lethal takedowns to leave without a trace. Nobody needs to die… unless you decide they must.
KEY FEATURES:
Challenging stealth-action gameplay that lets you play the way that suits your style, whether it’s sneaking through levels or attacking head-on.
Three playable characters, each with individual abilities, cybernetic upgrades and talents to customise your playstyle.
A reactive story where the player’s choices have real consequences.
Stylized pixel art environments and characters.
Atmospheric musical score by composer Dan Farley.
Gameplay:
Disjunction features unique stealth-action mechanics and abilities for each of its three playable characters, giving players the freedom and flexibility to choose the playstyle that suits them. Tackle encounters in lethal, high-octane combat, or use your wits to stick to the shadows, utilizing distraction techniques and non-lethal attacks to reach your objective.
Augmentation:
Unlock cybernetic upgrades to augment your abilities via upgrade trees, and build upon your playstyle to improve your stealth or increase the lethality of attacks through talent trees. Find upgrade kits to reach your true potential and become a feared killer or remain anonymous throughout New York's shady underground.
Reactive Story:
Experience a reactive story shaped by your actions. Your approach to situations can have serious consequences for the future of New York City, with the repercussions of choosing to spare or kill even one person rippling throughout the underworld. Crush entire factions or convince them to aid your cause. Your destiny is yours to write.
The World:
The year is 2048, and the world is plagued with economic downturn, environmental disaster, and societal destabilization. In the United States, natural resource scarcity and severe climate change have led to massive urbanization, with millions of Americans forced to seek new lives among the sprawling steel and concrete of America’s cities.
These swelling urban populations, coupled with intense civil unrest, have culminated in greatly increased crime rates, with many cities becoming dense hives of vice and lawlessness. City governments and law enforcement do their best to stem the rising tide of crime, but are often ineffective due to severe corruption and the increasing sophistication of American criminals.
Honestly, you should probably just play the demo, it will show you all you need to know. If you want to hear it from someone though: Disjunction is a relatively simple, but very fun Cyberpunk action/stealth game with a well executed neo-noir story and atmosphere, three distinct characters with unique skills and weapons to play as (you will play as each one of them at different points of the story). The gameplay is fast but requires some clever thinking in addition to good reflexes, and offers a variety of tactical approaches to a good variety of enemies and traps. And, even though I'm not a fan of pixel-art, I think it's an ok looking game.
You won't find the de[th of something like Deus Ex here, but even that comes with an upside of a more focused and tightly paced experience. The only problem might be the fact there's not much meaningful variety to the missions, it's pretty much always a gauntlet of enemies, cameras etc. and the task of going from point A to B. But it's a weakness covered up by more than enough good, fun elements.
The story is good. I mean it's pretty standard fare for any modern tv/movie/game. It is kinda predictable, but it is executed well. IOW, I actually kinda gave a shit about the story.
The gameplay action has more than a little taste of puzzle elements, and it's kinda unforgiving. You're not gonna go all V or Sole Survivor or Master Chief in this game **cuz you'll get shot and die**. It's not "hard" or "punitive" or "souls like", but it makes you take your measured step.
The style of action fits the story very nicely. The visuals are pretty good pixel art. Controls are good.
WELL WORTH the original $16, and more so on sale.
This game is a true cyberpunk,
with a good story and fun game-play.
It's sort of like Miami vice but with elements of RPG and stealth oriented game.
Although you can go lethal, there are lethal weapons.
