Description
A classic isometric RPG set in a dystopian enviroment allowing you to fight enemies, explore the hostile wasteland, level up your character and join one of the forces in the ruined world that survived through the horrific Incident, isolated from the rest of the world.

Start the game in one of the five divisions of the CRONUS Corporation — Wings, each with its own features, mechanics, and game options.
Go on a one way trip under the Dome from which you cannot return. Avoid radiation and anomalies, fight mutated animals and search for unique artifacts.

Start the game as an ordinary company employee and become the driving force behind the story that takes place before, during, and after the disaster that became known as the Incident.


After getting familiar with the world, dive into an open world full of freedom and danger. The old order is gone, now five powerful factions rule over the wasteland. Join one of them or be a lone wolf. Change the future of the Dome and its inhabitants or go your own way.


Threaten your enemies out of battle: persuade important people to give you favors. Don't have charisma for that? Then bribe them! Encased story is deep, each quest can be completed differently, depending on your stats and choices and those choices will really matter in the end, thanks to multiple game endings. Kill everyone, be a pacifist or choose anything in-between, the game will adapt to your playstyle.


Level up your own unique character: will you specialise in stealth, melee combat, sniper rifles, psionics or diplomacy? Will you be a lone wolf or a party leader? Or maybe even try to play through the game as low intellect hero? It's all up to you.
Go on a journey and learn dozens of useful abilities like hacking, mechanics, thieving or even driving. Study relics to reveal technological secrets of the Dome and then explore the lands, finding new places, anomalies and rivals. Not all of them will be humans, by the way.


Make difficult decisions: steal, assasinate or help despite any concequences. Build your reputations with one faction or try to please them all, but remember that sometimes compromises are impossible.

Repair and craft: forge robotic armor — Servoshell, build unique guns and upgrade them. Maybe even cook something. After all, you can't survive on an empty stomach.

Quite good game with some flaws

For current price it's definitely worth it, would give score like 7/10. Good type, quite similar to ATOM RPG or Wastelands 2, obviously to classic Fallouts. And this is the biggest advantage of this game, which by default suggests its good. Still have some bugs present, mostly smaller ones. From these annoying - several times my alt stopped working so I couldn't highlight items and had to restart game. Or, quest item kept disappearing from my inventory so I had to find cheat command to add it. Or quest that just "stuck" and I couldn't progress (mayor elections). Main minuses except bugs: 1) Big cities which seems empty in a great part, 2) Many quests required tiring travel between various locations back and forth, you just have a feeling of time lost while waiting for your party to run from one marker to another, 3) Experience system need balancing, at the very high levels I could level up by killing 2 standard enemies in one minute. 4) For me there is too many items that you can search - sound strange but there is a lot of searchable items in each area, usually contain junky stuff, and many have second or two of "animations". It was ok at the beginning, but later I was really tired. 5) Haven't noted any companion related quests, 6) Haven't felt a lot of depths in NPC, usually dialogues are quite short and can be summarised as "do this". Not sure if I will remember any of them in few days. 7) Dunno really how you can obtain any car. I just got "movable HQ" which a method of transport, however again a bit of wasted potential, as you cannot i.e. improve it anyhow - i.e. speed or looks. Anyway, had quite good fun with it, happy had a chance to play, however game could have been significantly better.

Cool story, terrible combat

So, I haven't played too much of it, basically just the day I bought it. The story seems super interesting, right off the bat. It's a cool concept, and if you want a point-and-click type of game just for the story then this is probably for you. I imagine with different stats you could take different dialogue options and get different results on other playthroughs. The combat however is probably one of, if not, the worst systems I've played. The fact that I basically do the same amount of damage with a three round burst and a single shot was super annoying to me. I don't understand how a single shot does 13 damage, then I come in with a burst and each shot is now doing 4 or 5 damage? I get that maybe they did that for balance reasons or something but I feel it's kind of dumb. In that case there's no reason to ever use the burst to get just about the same amount of damage. I like the whole anomalies thing, and scanning different things and people, but I could not keep going with that combat system. I also would have liked the ability to pause in the real time parts in order to issue commands and what not, but that's not in the game either. I guess they were going for a "realistic" (well, as realistic as a game of this type can be at least) with the whole no pausing, having thirst, hunger, fatigue, etc which I actually like, but then they give us bullets that somehow lose their kinetic force or something when firing in bursts (pretty sure that's not how guns work, last time I checked 3 bullet holes should = more damage than 1 bullet hole. Anyways, might boot up the game again and try melee or something, but not planning on playing this again anytime soon. Stick with Wasteland.

Not recommended

While this game has part of what is needed to be a good game in its genre, it falls well short so far. In its current state, it appears to be a partial imitation of games that are much better, falling short of those games. If I had a future choice between buying this game or much older games, I would buy the older games instead. Encased fails to fulfill the entire sense of depth that is fulfilled by games that are decades older.

Sort far Very Interesting

I am playing it in "story" mode. It is a bit hard to work out what I need to do at each level to complete it. With a little help from the interwebs I am able to move forward.

Back to Fallout

Really good. Really bring back memory on Fallout 1 and 2. Buy in sale as well. Excellent. Many hours to spend in game
