Encased: A Sci-Fi Post-Apocalyptic RPG

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.

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.

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.

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.

Fallout inspired crpg, but with much less sophisticated combat and difficult to navigate quest journal. Game UX is not very smooth and the game lacks polish although the graphical presentation is good. Known bug in linux for 2years loading the last level is not fixed. Switching to the windows emulated version is the workaround but deleted all my saves. I'm not going to invest any more time in the game to replay. There are more polished CRPGs out there.

This is fallout 1&2 but 70's style retro futurism. It is fantastically designed to let you play through how you want. Its a lot of fun and one of the few RPG's that I actually want to play through again with different builds

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.
