Encased: A Sci-Fi Post-Apocalyptic RPG

in the wilderness exploring I randomly encountered a nudist in a large coat and gas mask who flashed me, I countered by flashing him back. he approved and then went on his way. (great crpg, very detailed world with a lot to explore. your choices will impact events in the game and there is a lot of build variety and customisation. The writing is actually good and funny sometimes. I am probably nearing the end of the first act and really like this game! Edit: the second act is weaker than the first, but it is not as bad as the reviews make it seem. It is a great crpg, lots of replayability. I would get this if you like the genre, maybe on sale and dont be expecting it to be BG3....

It has a fun sense of humor, and an intersting take on a Post-Apocalyptic setting, and is in general a good modern version of classic isometric style rpg's. It's not loaded down with dlc, there are some mods for it, and you can easily ad your own portraits for your character if you wish, though it's got decent portraits by default. I would highly recommend this game, bearing in mine that it does have some adult content (some parts are a bit graphic with violence, and some strong language)

Solid turn-based RPG. Enjoyable dialogs, quests, the setting is interesting, a lot of voice acting for such a smaller scale production. Highly recommend it.

What a gem. It has its faults to be sure (see other postings), and won't be for everyone, but I managed to pick it up on substantial discount while looking for a turn based combat RPG style game. It's a bit like a simplified 'Lite' version of Fallout 2 but without the crankiness or stability problems and a lot better and user friendly than other post-apocalyptic RPGs I've come across. Character choice will vary or limit some of your game play options, and character development was straightforward, as was crafting items and upgrading weapons. There were some things that I only worked out later in the game so missed opportunities to pick up gear or resources, and if you ignore most of the side quests you may well struggle later in the game. I liked it enough to play it to the exclusion of just about everything else and finish it, so well worth a try if you can pick it up on substantial discount IMHO

I'm conflicted on Encased, but would ultimately recommend it (on a deep discount) and here's why: [h1]+The Good+[/h1] + Premise of the game is great and the first half of the game uses it masterfully. + [b]Lore[/b]. + RPG mechanics lifted from the classics of the genre, in both good and the bad. + Combat is good (Which is good since there is so much of it!). Best way to describe it is Wasteland 2 combat but without any of the faults W2 has. + The first half of the game is very good and made me invested enough to finish the game, easily one of the best CRPG experiences + Bugs I encountered (aside from foes) were very minor and went away with a restart, most commonly relating to inventory management and moving items with mouse. + Very good translation [h1]-The Bad-[/h1] - Inventory management designed by the Devil himself [b]>:([/b]. A "great" mix of Resident Evil, Wasteland 2 and Fallout - Companions are just damage soaks & DPS multipliers and lack almost any character, playing without companions is hard mode but won't impact the game much - Companions get in the way in tight spaces, often blocking objects you want to use/interact with - Weapon upgrade system doesn't feel good after the first few levels. - Latter half of the game is mainly fetch or courier tasks that require you to memorize where people are, made worse when those people move about on the map wasting time in load screens and wandering about map searching where exactly those people are. Worst one required 10+ loading screen transitions - Tying to previous one: slow movement speed wasting huge amount of time. Doubling or tripling character movement speed with console is recommended. - Skill checks in conversations happen only once requiring savescumming if you failed by small margin and for example smoking a cigarette or reading skill mag would let you pass - Sudden deaths on par with Sierra adventure games. Save often like the loading screen tips say - The ending is disappointing, not bad just disappointment Hopefully the [b]Bad[/b] didn't scare you away from this game, even with all that it's worth a play as the genre has so few good entries. Just as a sidenote 99% completion took about 65 hours

В общем, поиграл я немного в этот ваш Encased Воистину, хороша игра - и сеттинг, и реализация, усё было мне по нраву. Персонажа можно хорошо создать - шутки за него шутить всякие, качать прикольные перки, кайфовать от выбранной специализации, что открывает доступ к решению одной и той же задачи совершенно различными путями. Но вот есть у игры проблема - баги. Баги и отсутствие любой техпподдержки. Игра просто мёртвая, лежит так и никто её не трогает. Если вдруг чудо произойдёт и её починять - буду долго смеяться и уберу отсюда такой вот обзор. Но что-то я боюсь, что её не починят. Что было у меня? Абсолютно все НПС в любой боёвке застывали на месте и не атаковали игрока. Казалось бы, разве это запороло мне сюжет? Да в целом нет. Но только интереса в стоящих манекенах не много - стой, да расстреливай, время только трать.

another "classic fallout inspired" rpg, but here player sees AN ABUNDANCE of boring fetch quests, that force you run around the map doing absolutely mundane tasks and looking at loading screen(omg,so fun).

I do not skip the dialogues so the ammount of gibberish absolutely killed me. Unknown place was the last nail in the coffin. Another offenders: - one proper build, everything else is severely sub-par - ungodly amount of trash loot everywhere
