How it feels

A methodical, punishing turn-based tactical RPG set in a decaying crime-ridden city

What players say

Players compare it to XCOM but on a smaller scale, with action points instead of two-action turns. Many find the enemy AI too dumb to challenge, making fights trivial and repetitive, though the hit chance system divides opinion. The base building, crafting, and synth-noir atmosphere are praised, while some call it a fun low-budget romp and others say it gets boring fast.
