story
244 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story of *System Crash* is set in a richly crafted cyberpunk universe, featuring a narrative filled with intrigue, corporate espionage, and character-driven dialogue that, while not groundbreaking, is engaging and well-executed. Players navigate through a series of missions that intertwine with the plot, offering multiple paths and choices, although some find the pacing slow and the story somewhat formulaic. Overall, the narrative complements the gameplay, providing a cohesive experience that appeals to fans of the genre, despite some critiques regarding its predictability and length.
“The cyberpunk theme is great and the well-written story really brings the world to life.”
“The narrative and plot twists and developments aren't up to par with dedicated narrative games, but it's far better than one would expect from a game like this, and continuously gives a pleasant, cohesive cyberpunk feel to its setting.”
“The synergy between the storyline, the game mechanics, and the evocative art & music elevate this game above most others in the genre.”
“The story itself is kind of cliché, but easy to follow.”
“The story is quite shallow, and most of the cards are unappealing.”
“The gameplay and the story are also a little at odds, and sometimes it's difficult to understand how the actions you take in the matches mesh at all with what is happening in the story.”
