Good game with one flaw..

Fighting mechanics are very poor. First of all you can block the attacks but you never know when they are going to punch you so this is pure lottery. They could have copied the idea from Batman series which works great and is very satisfying. In my case the fight was always quick punch, roll over to the other side, quick punch, roll back over etc. It is good that they gave us silent takedowns but sometimes the animation is simply not working correctly. You see the enemy being taken down while you are standing like two meters from him. Now you can also use guns but this is also not done too well. Basically you keep shooting to each other until one of you is dead. No covers, no strategy... And then I do not understand why you have a separate button for punching and shooting. I mean you have to hold another botton to take out the gun anyway so no possibility to get them mixed. However I really enjoyed Dex. This is a low budget version of Deus Ex but still a good one.

Good to play

This was a pretty dang fun game. I couldn't put it down, so to speak. Not super long, but taking the time to find everything, achievement hunt and fully understand the story will give this game the most hours. There are multiple choices and multiple outcomes for side missions. The main story itself, I believe, has two different outcomes. The main character is kind of a street fighter cyborg hacker, the way I see it. The game has RPG elements with multiple supportive inventory items, upgrades and unlockable skills. Actually, it reminded me a lot of a 2D SNES Shadowrun, but maybe a little more simple. Lots of beat-em-up style with some marksman combat. There can be several ways to solve a problem. Story is pretty good. You'll be required to read through/listen to a lot of dialogue if you want to understand it all. Would definitely consider this to be a mature title. Some parts of the game have dialogue that describes intimate body parts and a side mission involves an adult club that portrays naked individuals. Mind you, the graphics are pixelated. So, while it's implied that a woman is topless, or a dude is sitting in his birthday suit, it's not visually clear. In addition, drugs are a big part of this dystopian world. Bottom line, if you think you would enjoy a retro sci-fi RPG beat-em-up game, you'll definitely like this one.

great game

Liked the game very much, enjoyed every minute of it. This is indie, not some AAA game, but it has nice story, great immersion, good-looking graphics, no bugs (as of version 6) and just a couple of flaws in game mecanics which are not critical and do not break the fun. So i can recommend it to any cyberpunk settings lover undoubtadly. Even if you are not into 2d side-view games very much. This one is good.

Immersive and beautiful cyberpunk story

This game was a lot of fun, very enjoyable. The game world feels alive, it's an open world that offers you a lot of side missions where your choices impact the outcomes.. It took me some time to learn the different aspects of the game, especially the hacking was difficult in the beginning, but it soon became fun. Controls are fine, played it with mouse and keyboard. All in all a really great game :-)

Pretty good game

Good ideas, enjoyable world. I played it after Gris and Ori, so it felt quite weird for me, somehow insufficient. Didn't finish it, started Witcher 3 or something like that. But the game really is good.
