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!
I've really enjoyed this game. But it feels like it has potential for longer play time and deeper story. I doesn't feel things develop too quick or too slow, tempo is right and that why end happens very unexpectedly. I sincerely hope there eventually will be Dex 2 or may be 0.
Fun 10 hour cyberpunk adventure. Metroidvania meets an RPG. Fully voiced characters, Combat is a bit unfair early on (no indication of when to attack vs block) but when you level up a combat skill a few times it stops being frustrating and needs this to balance you being so OP.
Pro-Tip: level hacking, probably the weakest part of the game overall, but it's a useful skill and once you have top level it's pretty easy.
Fell in love with this little gem, every aspect of this game is very enjoyable - one particular thing I think is fenomenal is map traversal, the devs respect your time and let you insta-travel from place to place once you have discovered it. Look gorgeous and plays nicely, there is a mini game that kicks in for when you are hacking things (which is a significant part ofnthe game actually), slight nitpick I suppose is the gun play and normally it's my favourite way to go but melee is my recommendation for this one. It has everything you would want from a cyberpunk story: fancy implants, crazy AIs, hacking etc. I sincerely hope they make another installment!
I picked this for 1.5 Euros and really enjoyed this, took me about 25 hours for all missions and reading almost all dialogues, the hand drawn style was very to my liking, music was fitting and excellent. It has a few flaws like although the platform elements are there throughout the game they are a bit repetitive and rather simple in design, do not expect jump & run and timings to be the central element of the game. Rarely I fell to death because I did not know is this the end of the map or a new area, you can simply save when in doubt and reload of course. Balancing could be better here and there i guess but since there are many ways to combat and skilling and only very limited difficulty options you can use that to adjust difficulty. Writing and characters and especially the voice acting are well done, some stereotypes, humor is present here and there but overall the cyberounk future (again) seems to be a serious matter. And your choices matter as it should be (although I think many do not), many quests can be solved in different ways. One way to replay this at higher difficulty could be to limit the amount of side quests.
I liked the ethical decision making at the end of the game, as others have said one ending cut scene is a bit of letdown. Overall very good value for the money, certainly worth it if you can get it below 10 Euros
