<\/a><\/p>\nOverall, the game’s feel and atmosphere are really good. The game looks really good
\ngraphically, the cyberpunk theme colors the world nicely which makes the game aesthetically
\npleasing and the music fits these images well (although there are no very memorable songs or
\ntracks in the game). The main character has a lot of speed and the main way to advance in the
\nlevels is by running. In addition to shooting and running, the character can also climb
\n(separately marked) walls and fly short distances. In addition to these, the levels have points
\nwhere, in addition to flying and running on walls, you have to shoot a rope at the right time,
\nwhich will propel the player forward in the level.<\/p>\n
The game mechanisms work as they should and the combination of the above in the level
\nshows good game design and in these moments the game has a kind of platform game feeling
\nto it. In combat situations, it is good to utilize the gliding features and running along walls,
\nbecause sometimes they can save you, for example, from falling out of the game area.<\/p>\n
However, the shooting is at the center of everything and is definitely the best part of the whole
\ngame. It is not possible to aim the weapons more precisely in the game (meaning \u2013 most of
\nthe shooters have a mechanism where by pressing the L2 or LT, Left 2 or left trigger, the
\nweapon zooms in), but the weapons remain in the lower right corner throughout the game.
\nThere are a nice number of different weapons in the game and they are suitably different from
\neach other. You can upgrade them somewhat during the game, which makes shooting even
\nmore enjoyable, because the difficulty level of the enemies also increases as the game
\nprogresses.<\/p>\n
The starting point of the story is interesting in itself. In the future, a certain Cyborg Aska is sent The game’s levels are straight pipelines, and there are hardly any alternative routes or Graphically, the levels look good and the game is pleasing to the eye in all respects. The<\/a><\/p>\n
\non a suicide mission to a planet called Moebius, where robots have taken command and are
\ntrying to steal the \u201ccores\u201d of the citizens. These \u201ccores\u201d are some kind of devices where
\npeople can store their identities so that they can be resurrected in another body later. You
\ndon\u2019t need to know more about the story than this, and those who have played the game
\nwon\u2019t necessarily remember more about the story. Unfortunately, the story is completely
\nsecondary in the end, even though it tries to be primary. It exists more just to give you a
\nreason to shoot. The main character’s friend is the mysterious Nexus, who whispers in her
\near, chatting with the main character and trying to keep the story important. The game’s
\ncutscenes are beautiful to watch and the animations look good. That’s why it’s a shame that
\nthe story doesn’t really get going.<\/p>\n
\ncollectibles at all. Any minor collectibles (e.g., ammunition or extra lives) are easy to find.
\nHowever, the levels are surprisingly extensive for straight pipeline levels, and collectibles
\ncould have been invented, but it’s a shame that you soon have to accept that the goal is just
\nto move forward and not stop to explore places.<\/p>\n
\ncharacter’s movement is fast, which also means that the frame rate is high. Unfortunately, a
\ngood-looking game and a fast-paced game don’t always run smoothly in this situation. The
\nscreen refresh rate is quite choppy at times, which is not pleasant in an action-packed
\nshooter. The framerate never drops so low that the game becomes unplayable, but it is
\ncertainly annoying after all that smooth movement.<\/p>\n
