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.

Love it and yet...

I love the game! Amazing few hours with tough fights, nice quests and etc. Yet this is just alpha, so, my approximation, it will take another 12+ months to finish it... with makes me sad. Plus there are a few other issues. - No random encounters on the global map (!) - Crafting benches are not located properly, and, crafting in general, is not completed. - Bugs quests. Unfinished quests. Not enough quests. - Broken housing.

A promising game

I hope developers will eliminate bugs and produce a real quality rpg. Now I am progressing through Magellan base. And it feels like "Crusader No Remorse", but on the side of corporation. Mark this as 4 stars in advance, hope, that this product will be completed.

An interesting sketch of the wasteland

-1 star if you're not a massive fan of this genre. For a small studio venture this is a surprisingly competent game, with less bugs than some AAA titles. None of the plot turns veer too far from predictable cliche, and as other reviewers have said it starts out strong but clearly ran out of money / time by the end. And you better enjoy playing a psionic stealth ninja, because that's the best build by far, and you best enjoy clicking on and opening every container, because that's the best way to get XP. But if you love this genre, you will absolutely have some fun.

Do u like old RPG games ?

Do you like fallout ? Do u like old RPG games ? Look no further, it is finally here ! after almost 15h in the game i must admit that it is great! Yeah, you will experience some bugs and glitches. BUT, if you were waiting for an old-school game like fallout its finally here! Yes, it has some problems, but it it still provides gread entertainment for the price. 9/10 pros: -GREAT story -a lot of ways to finish the quests -variety of weapons cons: -price ( for EA ) -seldom bugs and grafic glitches
