How the game plays: The game is centred around assembling a four person party of fighters, each with different stats (Strength, Speed, Charisma and Magic) and classes (Gunner, Swordfighter, Psychic, Medic and Technician) that determine their moveset and ideal stratagies. Each side takes it in turns to position their forces and then attack using a variety of moves.
Plot Synopsis (if story game): The game takes place in 2044 in London, England. After the collapse of the British Government under its own weight and corruption, the corporations which has been buying its way into parliament began to take control for their own means. A particularly nihilistic company, known as Revolver Scientific Solutions, plans to unleash a bio-weapon known as 'Distortion' onto the populous (turning them into static looking sludge monsters) in an attempt to speed up what they see as an inevitable doom. Danny, a former employee of said company turned anarchist rebel, catches wind of the plans through internal contacts in the company and plans to stop the bio-weapon before it irreversibly ends the lives of not just the island, but the world. He must assemble a team of rag-tag soldiers of many backgrounds whilst he fights his own psyche in an ever collapsing world that he called home.
Any extra info: The game received "generally positive" reviews from Metacritic, currently sitting at a 76 critic rating and an 8.8 user rating.
