Been following the game since pre-release, and it looked much better in the beta builds. Devs went bankrupt during launch, laid off all employees, and basically gave up development to the community on Discord. The launch build is an unpolished mess, with terrible balance bandaids and very questionable community additions. Even the battle screen UI looks better in beta, final version is just a blue bar. It's a pity. There's an incomplete game hiding in there, and the basic assets and character archetypes are solid. It just isn't well finished, and the small team of devs left kinda ran it into the ground at launch phase. Not worth the price, but COULD BE if they made some competent updates (and stopped listening to a few players in their discord community with very niche demands).
The previous reviewer was upset at the dystopean, bleak setting. Sadly they're out of touch with the genre, dystopian near-future scifi has been a mainstay sub-genre since the (19)40s. No one is funding this stuff except the audience themselves! Anyway, the bleak setting is a character in this game. One of the better written dystopian point-n-clicks. Also check out God's Will be Watching, and Virtuaverse and Born Punk for worse writing but cyberpunk aesthetics.
This pricing seems like a joke for what could be just Good Old Game DOSBOX freeware, but these games are packaged in a whole new, polished (though clunky) runtime environment with lots of custom options. So it is a new, modern product. Though the real product here is the extensive extras, interview videos with filmmakers and devs, and even archived concept art and reference charts for the Disney films. It's a collectors' edition kind of package. Confusing product, but worth knowing what it contains.
