Gameplay

Objective is to find and take a job to make money. Like an early GTA maybe? However you'll die numerous times before you can accomplish anything.
Clunky combat. Presses B to target an event and A to fire but you can't see projectiles and there's a long delay between shots.
Nowhere near enough ammo to do anything. Takes about 4 shots to kill an enemy but you only have twelve shots and no easy way to refill.

3 / 5

Level Design

Love the design where you look for jobs and whatnot although a mask would be invaluable. You pretty much just have to wander around and hope that you can find the place you're going to since nothing is labeled.

4 / 5

Theme

It's a revenge story in a post-apocalyptic Blade Runner-esque futuristic setting. I can dig it.

3 / 5

Art Style

Extremely dark and gritty art style. Almost no color to speak of. Moves well with no slowdown or anything. Animation and artwork when speaking with NPCs has a distinctive style.

4 / 5

Audio

The music is nice and sound effects are okay. The music matches the setting well.
