I'll give you a super-mini one.
Pathetic AI + buggy environment and AI again + crappy cry engine 2 usage and unsuitability + low-class voice acting + repetitive music all over the whole game + poor sound effects + a cliche story + a €20 price for such a spiritless and non-atmospheric game = merchants of brooklyn.


Thanks mate. That's enough info for me to decide. I'll pass.

It's not an awful game. Definitely worth a look as it's just something to whittle away a few hours with mindless killing ... but even the "console-friendly" CryEngine 2 is still pretty demanding on hardware and the game has issues, but considering it's an indie title? Not terrible, just not very good.

So is this game any good? A mini review would be nice....

in the future the arctic ice melted and all world is covered in watter, so they made those neanderthal clones to rebuild the city... but when the High Class citizens made the utopia city they hope for, they abandoned them in the lower levels off the city (think about the city from the movie "Fifth Element" or from the game "Project Eden" )...but the M.o.B picked them up and made those clones cheap fighters in illegal high money bet fights

and now you come in... you are a clone that lost his match and lost his arm in the process... but one of those egg heads with a plan to escape the lower city level implants you with a cyberarm-transforming arm to make his and... YOURS escape work

Well in theory the story concept is nice but those lame amateurish comic pics that represent the story with bad really really BAD voice acting are so badly made it makes you think its a game from 1998.Story presentation gets - 2/10

Graphics are nicely made but the team that made the AI, Maps and character animation should be fired... plain and simple they are crap - 2/10

Gameplay - if you like games from the `90 decade this game gets a 5/10 but if you are a Hallo/Css/Frag nation kid - 0/10

Sound - what sound eww?....that looping crap - 1/10

final note :
2,5/10 - means auto skip , those patches didn't even helped

This looks like it could have benefitted from using the unreal engine



1 and 2 are still amazing.

I love Source engine, Q3 engine, all CoD engines, MT Framework engine (DMC4, RE5), Ego engine (DIRT, GRID).

I hate UE3.

sweet zombie jesus...

everyone who said this is one of the biggest turds ever, is absolutely completely right... its like this game is a joke, like it was made to prank us or something, because it doesnt make sense how a game this fucking horrible ever even bothered to use the cry engine of all things... i almost wish this game was bigger and had more attention, so that yahtzee could rip it a new cry hole in a review, because this is, without a doubt, the worst game i have EVER played... and i can say that with complete honesty, because i have NEVER found myself disliking a game to the stage where i quit playing and deleted it after only having played it for 15 minutes.

boring, ugly, not even remotely enjoyable or interesting to play...

All their money went on buying cry engine 2 licence. The money left for further game development was less than a handful of coins. That's why the game sucks. Very Happy

Yes i mailed them a invoice for wasting my time on developing such trash which I spend so much time installing and and getting cracked.

I also charged them obscene amounts saying my charges were just inline with today's economic world wide changes..
