I'd like to have my wasted Sunday return
'nough said. Everything is half-ass.

Dex
Description
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!

Critics reviews
God is a Geek
7/10
With a phenomenal Cyberpunk aesthetic and fantastic characters, Dex is close to being an incredible experience. Lackluster combat and hacking let it down, but it still has a lot to offer for fans of the grim Sci-fi setting.

8/10
Overall, Dex is an excellent take on a cyberpunk Deus Ex game, and it managed to accomplish that with a smaller development budget.

This game is weak
Pro: Nice environment. con: The animation is terribly manga (1 frame / hour: D) Bad gameplay (poor for rpg, action for bad, melee combat unthinking , stealth weak , shit for platformer) In every respect, it's a lame amateur job. Long, boring, sometimes banal dialogues. An annoying combat system Bad ui. Confused tasks Bad controller assignment High controller delay. There are some platformer parts where the creators are stuck with the old one about jumping from that pixel because it works in 640 but not at that resolution anymore this game working (hd-fhd) This game is bad. Very bad. Probably the worst game I've seen in the last 30 years. Junk

Good, but at times sketchy
Not far into the game there's a dialogue with an asian character, and the voice actor pulls off a mocking performance of the asian accent. Truly disgusting how they approved the line and baked it into the game, it felt very racist and i cannot endorse this behavior. The writing is passable with classic mistakes like dumping info about the world in one conversation, instead of presenting it in a more creative way. Combat and movement feel very primitive, the likes of online flash games, same for the levelup perks. Not that it's a bad thing, but i would've rather had a better set of gameplay mechanics than a poor (and really sketchy) voice acting.
