Good/Great: Feels like one of those games that would have a fantastic sequel.

2Deus Ex. Not super polished or original, but unquantifiably "soulful"

It is absolutely incredible that an indie game like this managed to capture such a beautiful cyperpunk feeling. It has that magical blade runner vibe that I have yet to get from any other game and when it comes to side-scrolling RPGs this game is a gold standard in my opinion. Ending was weak, either that or I did not have the brain capacity to grasp what was going on.

Basically if Deus Ex or Bladerunner were reimagined as a 2D, pixel art, side scroller. Art Direction is great; it really captures that dystopian cyberpunk aesthetic. Combat is kinda 'meh'. Guns don't feel all that powerful and basic enemies take more than a few shots to go down. Hand-to-hand combat is very simplistic and kind of repetitive. Overall size and scope of the game is quite good. The story kind of lost me at certain parts.

 

Overall, I'd give this game a rating of Good/Great.

2D cyberpunk hacker girl fights bad guys and uncovers a mystery, or doesn't. It's messed up stuff and I loved it.

I guess the gameplay is kind of limited, but it's completely serviceable.
