A Bit Short, But Fun
The combat gameplay is a bit like XCOM but slightly simpler. However, there are enough options and abilities to keep things interesting and to build a specialized character that will be very different depending on the abilities you give them. The game seems a bit low budget, with a few typos (but good writing) and a slightly clunky interface that seems to lack polish- for example, the items you can pick up or interact with have icons that seem to show up unreliably, it's very difficult to move to a space that's directly behind another character because the spot to select it is virtually unclickable, and at high resolutions the map and text are tiny and a bit hard to read, even with the option to offset this clicked in settings. There were also some annoying things, like being unable to use a decker in your party to unlock doors because the game only cares what the player character's skills are in most instances. The graphics are a little old fashioned but do the job well, and the story is fun and lets the player be expressive with their choices without being stereotypically pure good or evil. The world is lightly atmospheric, hinting at more but being a bit limited in how much some aspects are explored. It was definitely fun and distinctive to be able to jack into cyberspace and infiltrate the classic 80s sci-fi concept of a VR world. The characters are likeable, though it's a bit of a shame to have to hire mostly random mercs for runs rather than having a consistent party to develop and explore. The different classes and choices add a bit of replay value, and the difficulty seemed about right- I chose an Adept, apparently considered one of the worst classes, and was able to get through the entire game intact, though there were a few close calls. While not an amazing gem, the game was decent and worth playing if you'd like a couple days of cyberpunk escapism.
