The WhatsNext verdict
For Strategy fans who like slow, thoughtful fights and bleak, text-heavy sci-fi stories on PC: Each fight is a turn-based set of choices, and the hand-drawn, darkly funny future world gives those choices a grim sense of place. Tradeoff: Reading, clicking through scenes, and turn-by-turn battles suit patient players and leave little room for fast action.
