Encased: A Sci-Fi Post-Apocalyptic RPG

Super slow. Voice acting is okay. Graphically I like it. UI, design, easy to pick up once you understand the synergy between the skills. That said, I get knocked out from reloading my gun too many times. That is really irritating.

Encased es un juego con algunas cosas buenas y otras malas. Dentro de lo bueno podemos decir que tiene un setting interesante, mucha personalidad, los arboles de habilidades están bien (aunque ya a mitad del juego sos bueno en demasiadas cosas) y hay mucha decisión propia del jugador en como quiere encarar el juego. Por esas cosas yo lo recomiendo, es un CRPG diferente a otros, mas similar a un fallout viejo al que emula. Pero tambien hay varias cosas malas, principalmente creo que el combate es "poco inspirado" por no decir un poco aburrido, no le encontre ninguna clase de desafio tactico. Afortunadamente es bastante sencillo, si encima fuese dificil sería peor. Tambien hay muchos sistemas dentro de un juego que no lo necesita ni los usa efectivamente, desde el crafteo (munición, comida, medicina, etc), el sistema de escaneo me gusta pero el sistema de puntos cronus/precursores no tiene ninguna utilidad mas allá de conseguir articulos medicos que ya hay muchos, por ejemplo, hay un monton mas. Creo que es un buen juego, que por tener un presupuesto acotado y una escala bastante grande no logra desplegar sistemas mas solidos y divertidos.

I like post-apocalyptic theme, and I have played Encased and Wasteland 3. Between these two, I prefer Wasteland 3 more, even though it was published earlier than Encased. I also like Encased, it is promising, but after 20h into the game I decided to stop. Combat is not as smooth as Wasteland 3. I cannot modify my stat, which is very limiting. I cannot control my Companions' skills. Enter a room with 20 interactable objects, just to loot garbage items. Stealth mode is almost useless.

Жаль, выглядело многообещающе.

This game really should be more popular. It's like the OG Fallout, but much better, in my opinion. Definitely more polished than Wasteland 2 too. The only problem is, the game only subtly tells you to head on over to Junk Town after the prologue, and that led me to the Diner again, and I got my ♥♥♥♥ kicked in so hard by some mobs there that I quit once, and almost quit once again.

The first 50% of the game was quite good - new world, lore, classes, mechanics etc. After that my enjoyment of the game started dropping with every hour. Same enemies, same fights, boring fetch quests, constant back tracking when you need to spend tons of time in real life getting to the same NPCs again and again, big empty town ... I'd give the first half of the game 7 out of 10 and the last part of the game - 2 out of 10, I simply wasn't enjoying at all. Overall rating - not recommended.

Game is great. English translation is horrendous. It's a translation, not a localization, and a great example of how not to adapt a game for an internaional market. Play in Russian if you're fluent. You'll get stuck with a decent game otherwise — no jokes and cultural references for you. You can thank the translation team later.
