Encased: A Sci-Fi Post-Apocalyptic RPG
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.

7/10
Encased can suck you into it for dozens of hours for exploration and complex, difficult battles with various tactics but also leave you frustrated with the way it approaches the story and characters.

7.5/10
Encased is a strategy RPG with lots of depth and options that suffers from stiffness and imbalanced gameplay

9/10
Some jank does not stop Encased from being one of the most ambitious and greatest CRPGs in years.

Very exciting to see final release!
As a person who grew up playing Fallout 1,2 & Baldurs Gate - this feels like a refreshing spin off of those games. A lot of reading - but immersive good writing & turn-based combat. I am about 4 hours in and am really enjoying this. Some small things like ladder-climbing animations are missing, but this game is fantastic.

Extremely competent and a joy to play.
I'm only about 2 hours into the game so far and I am absolutely falling in love with it. The quests and interactions for the most part far outdo the majority of modern AAA RPGs that have been coming out over the last 10 - 20 years. So long as development continues with this level of competence throughout early access and into full-release we might have the best RPG of the decade or possibly even the century in our hands. Highly recommend to any fan of isometric cRPGs with lots of depth, interesting character interactions and a real feel of impact and player agency. I hope this game sells really well so that the developers are able to continue to give this game their all. This is truly a genuinely welcome surprise.
