  • story26 mentions

    The game's story has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it engaging and well-conceived, while others criticize its presentation and execution, citing issues like clunky controls, uninspired voice acting, and a lack of coherence. Despite these criticisms, many players appreciate the potential of the storyline and character customization, suggesting that the narrative could be a strong point if better integrated into the gameplay experience. Overall, while the story has its merits, it often struggles with clarity and delivery.

    • “I can't pinpoint where it happened, but somewhere along the way my reaction shifted from cringe to oddly endeared and found myself caring about the story.”
    • “I really want to like this game; it has a good premise and storyline.”
    • “The story is what you're after, and the story is actually not bad at all.”
    • “But, so far even the story is uninspiring and hard to focus on due to the lazy voice acting.”
    • “The problem with this game is that it has a fairly decent story and lots of options like outfits, but as soon as I got to the story, it fell flat.”
    • “Story is way too simple; you start out in a horror movie cabin in the intro, then get teleported to space for the tutorial where you get your superpowers and an irritating AI attached to your HUD, then get teleported to the Middle East.”
  • gameplay14 mentions

    Gameplay reviews highlight a mix of frustrations and enjoyment, with criticisms aimed at cumbersome controls, overly fast character movement, and a cluttered user interface that detracts from the experience. While some players appreciate the game's aesthetic and find the mechanics manageable over time, others feel the gameplay is bogged down by unnecessary collectables and simplistic quests. Overall, the game is seen as a fun, albeit flawed, ARPG with potential for improvement during early access.

    • “What can I say, it's just a fun relaxing ARPG with sci-fi DNA mod weapons, also standard gun weapons. The game mechanics and inventory menus are hassle-free, the community and developer relations are civil; I can't see not recommending this game.”
    • “The controls are a bit clumsy, but after a while of gameplay, they become absolutely manageable.”
    • “The gameplay, the chapters, the cool clothing stuff overall.”
    • “But the overt wiggle of the main character is demeaningly 'high school', and the game suffers from a combination of Unity engine limitations and some decidedly cumbersome user interface choices that really detract from the gameplay, such as requiring double buttons/keys for anything of significance you do.”
    • “You have camera filters that don't actually work with the models or gameplay, loads of weapons you don't need, 'collectables' that look like random bits and bobs (crates/laptops/posters) to earn XP which allows you to buy percentage upgrades to this like 'handgun damage'.”
    • “It's pretty and it's stylish, but the weak game mechanics are very simple collect-a-thon and fetch quests.”
  • graphics11 mentions

    The graphics in the game are generally described as decent but inconsistent, featuring a mix of high-resolution characters in a cartoonish world alongside low-poly elements reminiscent of older games. While some players appreciate the visual variety and level design, others note issues such as framerate problems, crashes, and underwhelming character stills during dialogue. Overall, the graphics are considered satisfactory but not groundbreaking, with potential for improvement in future updates.

    • “I enjoyed the open world and semi-open world concepts along with the visuals of this game the most, and as soon as the patch for polishing up on the actions, events, and the relativity between the player character and the NPCs is available, I will be downloading that patch ASAP.”
    • “Large levels, graphically pleasing.”
    • “Clear HUD (if a bit tiny), nice sharp graphics and ran reasonably well for the most part.”
    • “I can overlook the inconsistent visuals, where you'll be playing a high-res character in a cartoony world fighting against low-poly soldiers from the PS2 era.”
    • “A Unity-made game that has some graphical problems and framerate issues, but a decent storyline and interesting level design and locations.”
    • “The game constantly crashed and the graphics, as well as controls, are awful.”
  • stability3 mentions

    The game exhibits several bugs and glitches, typical for an early access title; however, players appreciate the developers' responsiveness to reported issues, indicating ongoing support and commitment to improvement.

    • “The game is somewhat buggy, but the good part is that if you face a problem and report it to the developer, they listen carefully and fix it. This is not an abandoned game.”
    • “Here's a video that highlights some of the bugs, glitches, and exploits I found.”
    • “There are some bugs and glitches, but hey, this is early access! I'm sure the developers are working on it.”
  • atmosphere3 mentions

    The game's atmosphere is praised for its unique and soothing qualities, particularly in levels like the cyberpunk city and desolate subway. Players appreciate the relaxing vibe despite it being an action RPG, along with a well-designed menu system and diverse costume options. While it may not appeal to everyone, its distinct atmosphere sets it apart from typical games.

    • “Some of the levels are wonderfully atmospheric (i.e. the cyberpunk city and its unnervingly desolate subway).”
    • “Constantly being updated, it gets better each time. I like this game for its soothing atmosphere, great menu system, and the options menu. It's an action RPG yet it's relaxing, it's not expensive, and there are lots of costumes to loot.”
    • “It's not a run-of-the-mill game; it has its own unique atmosphere. It may not be for everyone, but no game really suits everyone.”
  • music2 mentions

    The music in the game is generally well-received, with some users appreciating the soundtrack and varied locations, while others note inconsistencies in sound levels. Voice acting is considered reasonable, contributing positively to the overall experience.

    • “Nice graphics, I like the music, the locations are good and varied.”
    • “The soundtrack is just okay; some sounds are too loud while others are too quiet, and the voice acting is only reasonable.”
    • “The music lacks variety and becomes repetitive quickly, making it hard to stay engaged.”
    • “The audio mixing is poor, leading to an inconsistent experience where some elements drown out others.”
  • optimization1 mentions

    Players have noted that the game's levels are poorly optimized, often resulting in frustrating experiences due to inadequate lighting and difficulty in locating markers, which can lead to prolonged aimless exploration.

    • “You can end up walking around for hours in unoptimized levels with poor lighting, searching for markers.”
    • “The game suffers from severe optimization issues, making it frustrating to navigate through poorly designed environments.”
    • “I often find myself lost in unoptimized areas, where the lack of clear markers and bad lighting makes exploration tedious.”
  • humor1 mentions

    The game is praised for its quirky humor, featuring ridiculous puns and a playful tone reminiscent of "The X-Files," making it particularly appealing to fans of lighthearted and whimsical storytelling.

    • “If you like The X-Files, ridiculous puns, and humor, along with dressing up ladies, then this is the game for you.”
    • “The humor in this game is absolutely top-notch, with clever writing that keeps you laughing throughout.”
    • “I love how the game blends absurdity with wit, making every interaction a delightful surprise.”
