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.

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

1. Every inch of this game oozes personality, and it does it effortlessly. The narrative unfolds with surprising unflinching An isometric RPG in 2019 is a bold move, given the genre entered its twilight years the moment 3D models really kicked off, but this is something anyone can and will appreciate in its slow-burn glory.

Disappointed
Encased is of the line of sci-fi rpgs like Fallout 1 and 2. And there is much to like about the game. You have a large degree of versatility in character creation. The story is not mind-blowing but also not dull. The companions I encountered were solid. And combat was satisfying if not top-notch tactical. Dialogue however... Profanity has become more and more present in RPGs and I am not here to debate the merits or demerits thereof. Stupid use of profanity on the other hand... The F-bomb should never be used as often as it was in this. In the introductory area, a professional building no less, the f-bombs were easy to find and totally unnecessary. So I docked a star for overuse of harsh profanity. I docked a half star for the inconsistency of the survival system. I traveled over a day's distance through harsh terrain on foot and without camping and was docked only for slight fatigue. Using only a few skills(first aid, lockpick, force, mine clearing) can cause that fatigue to shoot up like wildfire. The last half star I deducted for the camera. Especially when the character walks below objects like arches, roofs, etc... it can be quite hard to make out objects. Now they may still recover one star by making tweaks to the camera and survival system. But for future reference a language filter would have saved them the other. Fallout 1, 2 and Tactics all had one and it made the game more inclusive to all players. Which in turn makes more money. Just a thought.

In Response to the Whining
I don't own the game (yet), so I have no reason to "white knight" the game or the studio. But lets look at these two DLCs through a sane lens. One is a character portrait pack for 5 USD. The other is gives you a pair of boots and a gun. Neither of these are in any way necessary for you to progress. It's definitely shady for them to charge money for extra portraits, but do you *need* them to play the game? No. I'd be more likely to have nothing good to say about the devs if they charged 10-20 USD for the packs, or if they pulled a Dragon Age 1 by sticking in DLC ads for quests but they haven't. They are giving us bonuses items to help support the game. If it were up to me, I wouldn't have used portraits for a DLC because that's kinda scammy.
