Description


Demo version of Dex is available here



Includes the Extra Outfits DLC.

Explore, fight, talk and hack your way through a rich cyberpunk world in this 2D action-RPG!

Wanted dead by a mysterious and far-reaching organization, you will traverse the futuristic city of Harbor Prime and make unexpected allies on your quest to bring down the system! In this cyberpunk adventure inspired by Blade Runner and Neuromancer, you are free to choose your playstyle: will you be a silent assassin, a hacker, a diplomat or a straightforward gunfighter?

Designed as a throwback to earlier 2D platforming and action games combined with modern RPG elements, Dex offers real-time combat, a mature storyline and interactive dialogues.

Customize your character’s skills, equipment and even augmentations – implants which grant you superhuman abilities and open up new paths within the game’s open world.

A revolutionary hacking mechanic also lets you dive into Cyberspace: overcome viruses and intrusion countermeasures to deactivate turrets, overload devices, steal corporate data and cripple your enemies!
  • Rare blend of realism and creative vision: Realistic action, mature storyline, and complex character interactions combined with hand-drawn characters, animations, and environments, arcade-style melee combat, and an original conception of cyberspace.
  • Multiple paths: Operate in physical reality or in Cyberspace. Overcome obstacles using your skills, weapons, augmentations…
  • Meaningful character building: Will you be a silent assassin, a hacker, or a straightforward gunfighter? Improve your character and gear to unlock gameplay-changing upgrades that reinforce and customize your gameplay style.
  • Unique hacking mechanic: Transfer your consciousness to your avatar, overcome intrusion countermeasures, take action, and then return back to your body in a fraction of a real-time second to see the results – deactivated turrets, overloaded devices, enemies with crippled implants…
  • Neo-cyberpunk: Story deeply inspired by the cyberpunk novels of William Gibson and other classical cyberpunk authors, flavored with a contemporary concept of augmented reality.
  • Rich game world and diverse level design: Visit diverse locations in Harbor Prime, a futuristic city complete with luxurious skyscrapers, run-down shantytowns, and seedy red-light districts. Take part in street brawls, steal corporate data, overcome environmental hazards, and, of course, stay alive – no easy task.
  • Three special outfits: The Samio Cyberwear allows you to regenerate your Focus when hacking, the Euroforce BattleRig offers physical protection against bullets, and the Armagear InvisiSuit can make you invisible! You’ll have to be on the lookout for clues about their location, and face serious opposition before earning them!

Ok cyberpunk Action/RPG

Disclaimer: I got this game for free. - Game mechanics are straightforward and easy to understand - Graphics are ok, for a small budget game - Cyberpunk atmosphere - Voice acting is ok, for a small budget game - Game rewards exploration - Character development is simple and offers enough variety I enjoyed the game and 13.69€ is a fair price for it.

refreshing and challenging

I'm having a good time. It's not the best game in the world. Story and side quests are sometimes a bit confusing, Atmosphere is very good. Gameplay is fun and challenging, sometimes a bit much for me, but it makes victory sweeter and the hardest challenges are usually optional.

almost great

The game was really really good! Very beautiful cyberpunk atmosphere, nice controls, nice RPG and action elements. I liked the arwork a lot and the story was very engaging. I didn't like much the ending(s) since the cinematic(s) was(were) too short and would had loved to see an epilogue. In retrospection, the game didn't manage to make a full circle and complete the picture leaving lots of ambiguities, but while not great, it was still enjoyable!

good experience

First minutes I played DEX, I wondered if I did a mistake buying it. the game is beautiful, voices are OK, but damn it the character is so weak when you start the game! and then you have a choice, quit or continue and see if it comes better. and then to me, it worthed the try! the experience is getting better and better not so easy, but enough difficult to feel the challenge and not too difficult to feel schredded like a bug :) just one last thing: thanks to people who made the guide: http://dex-rpg.wikia.com/wiki/Dex_Wikia sometimes it gave me the hope to continue when I was a little bit desperate (the beginning of the game was really tough to me) so, I recommand this game, had a great time!

Neat cyberpunk indie, but avoid gunplay

I played the PS4 version, which was largely bug free. The presentation is great. You'll never mistake it for AAA but the world building was done fairly well, from the neon bright colours to the synth music. The game world is a hub, and you're mostly free to roam each area without too many restrictions. Each has a distinct flavour, although they manage to retain the theme's essence. One thing that annoyed me about the decent soundtrack though is that the OST on sale is lacking several tracks, which are apparently permanently backer-exclusive. Needless to say this just dissuades fence sitters from buying it, or annoys them sufficiently to look up how to extract the music from the game files. Very questionable decision to sell a gimped OST. Should've given backers something else instead of chopping up the OST. Worse, this is a mark against the publisher and people will look for similar shenanigans in any future title. The writing is ok, not great but solid. The characters serve well enough but overall feel like they could've used more development. For an RPG there is surprisingly not that much lore. Game is fairly short if you rush. My main gripes are with the gameplay. The platforming is not tight enough, you will know by testing repeated jumps between platforms and see how some inexplicably miss. And forget firearms - aiming felt awkward but the worst sin is you have to buy ammo. Sure, by the end you realize you don't need that much, but throughout the game I felt scared of using up any of that precious expensive ammo. Turns out you don't even need to be great at combat - I unlocked virtually everything else and simply spammed carefully timed punches during the entire game. Not much of a skill tree either, you end up getting everything unless you maxed out combat-related skills. Don't get me wrong, this is a good game. I focus on the negatives because they detract from the game. I'm down for a sequel - provided they don't butcher the OST again.
