Restricted Area
a cyberpunk dungeon crawler.
It reminds me of the old Shadowrun on consoles...only without any real story behind and pure fighting.
3 difficult level to chose, 4 characters to chose, one for ranged, one for close weapons, a mage and a decker.
Each of them with his/her own difficult level. I played the ranged fighter ;-)
At some points with your decker you can enter computers to help you in your quest.
At the start of the game you stand on a street, your base, with quest giver, medic, weaponshop, someone you
can loan money, your pilot a whore and a beggar. Looks like the game is somewhat unfinished, because
you can get hints of a plot around the whore and the loan shark but there is nothing.
Well, first you only have the main quest giver. After you finished the first test quests another one comes to
your street. He only gives quests around kill someone, free him or find an item that only gives you the opportunity
for gaining money and exp. and finding equipment and raising your reputation (with more rep you get better paid
quests from him and can get higher loans).
Equipment....everything is about equipment. You don't wear body armor, no you exchange body parts (eyes, brain,
arms, legs and 3 internal organs). Each can raise your skills or stats.
With each lvl you gain 3 stat and some skill points. Hell it takes ages of grinding to get enough points.
And if you don't like grinding, well there is a simple way for getting unlimited money.
The doc sells skill cards if you have enough money that is.
And believe me, thats no fun, cause the dungeons are mostly the same (a room with some monsters, maybe a few
chests and a door to the next room or the stair to the next level).
The main quest, well it only contains a handful dungeons and than the game is over and starts again (with your
leveled up char).
Finding new (better equipment) is a motivation do abort the mission and redoing it (only losing some rep and you
can do it anytime).
Only the last dungeons comes with different and better enemies (still the KI is missing, most times you stand
near the doorframe to kill them).
Oh, and don't forget to save...and than go into your directory and copy that save, because sometimes the
game erases an unfinished quest and you are stuck.
All in all a simple game with very few highlights. The best are the explosions and the music. But it was fun playing it.
