    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of this early access title attempts to merge stealth and cyberpunk elements with a fast-paced, Hotline Miami-inspired style, but suffers from underdeveloped stealth mechanics and slightly clunky combat that detracts from the overall experience. While the game offers a humorous setting and a variety of mechanics, it lacks the depth and complexity found in AAA titles, resulting in a more simplified yet engaging core gameplay experience. Players appreciate the customization options and route planning, but many urge for improvements, particularly in the stealth mechanics.

    • “This early access game is trying to blend stealth, cyberpunk, and Hotline Miami-style gameplay.”
    • “+challenging gameplay”
    • “Funny setting and a large number of mechanics you can play with.”
    • “The problem with this game lies in the talked about, but never implemented, stealth mechanics.”
    • “The combat mechanics are just slightly too clunky to feel truly rewarding.”
    • “Please for the love of god improve the stealth mechanics.”
  • story
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story revolves around uncovering the mystery behind a kidnapping while completing handcrafted missions for an organization known as "old school." Players engage in various tasks across different locations, gathering information and resources, leading to a final confrontation with the antagonist. While the narrative is compelling, some players find the combat mechanics, particularly the weaponry, to be underwhelming compared to the effectiveness of melee augmentations.

    • “We now head to the city and do jobs for Old School as we piece together the story of who has done this and why.”
    • “Ultimately, there's a final confrontation with the mastermind behind the events you've uncovered through your missions and your kidnapping, and you'll get to decide what to do.”
    • “It has a great storyline and the adventure is far more than just trying to stealth your way through some enemies.”
    • “Ultimately, there's a final confrontation with the mastermind behind the stuff you've uncovered through your missions and behind your kidnapping, and you'll get to decide what to do.”
    • “We now head to the city and do jobs for old school as we piece together the story of who has done this and why.”
    • “It has you visiting people in different locations where you get missions and information to aid your quest.”
  • graphics
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics are praised for their vibrant and colorful low poly style, which effectively utilizes the Unreal Engine 4. Players appreciate the charming aesthetics and attention to detail, evoking nostalgic feelings reminiscent of classic titles like Final Fantasy VII. Overall, the visuals are considered solid and complement the game's enjoyable sound design.

    • “The visuals, premise, and sound design are all solid.”
    • “Built with the Unreal Engine 4, it utilizes a low poly graphics style, with vibrant and colorful world design.”
    • “The graphics are great and so is the music.”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is described as shockingly funky and catchy, contributing to an overall charming aesthetic that evokes nostalgia, reminiscent of classic titles like Final Fantasy VII. Reviewers appreciate both the music and graphics, highlighting their positive impact on the gaming experience.

    • “The game is even pretty good aesthetically, which I confess was a bit of a surprise for me... the blocky polygons (usually very much not my thing, I'd prefer 2D pixel art) felt very charming, giving me extremely nostalgic vibes of Final Fantasy VII (likely intentional, but that's just speculation on my part), while the music was shockingly funky and catchy.”
    • “The graphics are great and so is the music.”
  • humor
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's humor is a standout feature, characterized by a funny setting and a variety of engaging mechanics. It employs a tongue-in-cheek writing style that balances serious themes with farcical elements, reminiscent of a simplified isometric version of modern Deus Ex games.

    • “The game-related humor in this game is definitely a huge plus for me as well.”
    • “Funny setting and a large number of mechanics you can play with.”
    • “The game plays like a simplified version of the modern Deus Ex games (Human Revolution et al), but from an isometric perspective, with writing that's aiming for tongue-in-cheek rather than being overly serious; its main source of humor is the serious tone taken to the point of farce.”

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The early access version of the game is noted for potential bugs and ongoing changes in content, interface, and optimization.

    • “The optimization in this game is impressive, allowing for smooth gameplay even on lower-end systems.”
    • “I appreciate how the developers are actively working on optimization, making the game run better with each update.”
    • “As an early access release, you may experience bugs, content, interface, and optimization changes.

    • “I encountered numerous performance issues that made the game nearly unplayable at times, indicating a significant need for optimization.”
