Great CRPG with Flaws
Encased is a CRPG with turn-based combat and classless character development system. There are numerous gameplay systems supporting a wide range of playstyles and approaches. Also these very systems are at odds with each other - Fatigue increases for cracking open locked containers and non-lethal melee attacks, but not hacking or stabbing people. There are crafting and quite a lot of materials scattered, but not enough to use devices or upgrade weapons. The skill checks are static and RNG-free - the requirements are either passed or not and usually there are several ways to achieve the objectives. Non-combat builds are meaningful and viable throughout the game. There are a lot of equipment pieces, but the inventory management is most uncomfortable. The companions have personalities, character development, their own combat styles, and unique equipment, while their approval depends on the protagonist’s regular actions. They also can help in several story interactions and use their skills outside of dialogues. On the other hand, they do not have any quests after recruitment. The writing is mixed - while it presents a coherent narrative, there are some translation issues and it is not clear what the story is trying to tell, except that Fallout is inspirational. The protagonist’s appearance or Wing are never addressed, the only aspect that a vastly different experience in the story is the low Intelligence (Brains) attribute. The pacing is uneven, with the majority of quests and locations being in the first half, while in the second both the density and the flexibility decrease rapidly. The game has several accessibility options including subtitles, item and field-of-view highlights, rebindable controls, and manual saving at will. Though, in a few cases item highlighting does not work. The 3D graphics are adequate, the 2D images are most impressive, the soundtrack is present and not annoying, the voice-acting is partial and usually on point.
