Turn Based Combat Puzzle RPG
It's nice when the worst you can say about a game is 'I wish there was more of it!' I was expecting a stylish X-Com game but what you don't see advertised as much is the real time exploration and puzzle solving sections which I also enjoyed. In addition to tactical gunplay in ambushes and arenas against foes and bosses with different abilities you'll have some section where alone or as a team you operate mechanisms, find weapons and gear, and disarm explosives. The cast is colorful and likably manic. The setting is suitably grim-dark but not pretentious about it: this is a neon funhouse of doom. You never feel cheated by this game: surprised sometimes but not cheated. You can play through sections you botch quickly and without much penalty. You can survive a couple mistakes and, as long as you don't have Ironman on, you can always reload if you get a team wipe. And there's other nifty elements too. You can provide autographs for fans and testimonials to build your brand, and depending on your choices they can attract different sponsors who provide new benefits. There's hidden caches and unique weapons you can only find by backtracking or accomplishing harder hidden puzzles, but all of these are optional unless you want to fully optimize your team. The story has some twists and turns too and the announcer has a LOT of recorded dialogue so his play by play isn't too repetitive. All told it's a solid, speedy, satisfying blending of genres.
