I want to recommend this... but I cannot in good conscience do that, as it broke during the tutorial. I was punching the guards to death, as you do... Because the game let me do that. And inevitably, I got detected by one... Game over, right? Well, kinda... It bugged out and fed me through a loop of constantly being detected, because it'd load back in right when the guard detected me. Even spamming my autoclicker to try and move as soon as I load back in, no... stuck. So the game broke on the tutorial. That's a pretty bad start for a game. Other than that, there was a jump mechanic that made it look like your character was peeing. I had to jump through a window and... you really REALLY have to be standing in the exact right spot while doing that. It was just an awful time. Positives? I mean, it breaks in the tutorial so any positives are null and void. But I want to be fair to the game. The music had a nice vibe to it, very Terminator. The art style is cool, very fallout 1-2. The tutorial guy called me the master of doors, clearly respecting my brilliance. (He may have been sarcastic, but jokes on him, I love sarcasm)

Broken, jank-city. I don't know if the devs built something really cool and broke off more than they could chew or what, but within two hours, I was already finding blatantly obvious leveling exploits (without looking for them) and ruining the game. I LOVE a crunchy, crunchy game, and this was supposed to be that, but man, the crunch doesn't feel like it even matters. I'm just going through, mowing things down, going through the story, feeling like none of it matters. Then I start looking deeper. The graphics are...I do not think they are entirely stylistic--there is some sum of limitation going on here. So many reused sprites and very early palette swaps. Character designs are CalArts; I'm sick of seeing it. Same basic design language as so many other games. The more I tried to like it, the more I didn't. I stopped looking. Damn I wanted this to be a good game. I refunded it awhile back and rebought it; I wish I could refund it again. And I know it is never going to get fixed. I know the devs have washed their hands of it.
