Greetings all. Anyone who knows me or follows this blog will know that I’m a big fan of Choose Your Own Adventure games, as I mentioned in a post a little while ago. You know the ones- turn to page 5 to stab the centaur in the balls, turn to page 201 to run away and hide under a cottage.
I’m a little behind the times here, but I wanted to post a quick review of a mobile game I’ve been playing lately.
Until I downloaded Sorcery! (whole other story, fantastic game) I was pretty engrossed in Fallout Shelter; the promotional tie-in to Fallout 4.
The gist is that you take on the role of Overseer and look after a vault of post-nuclear survivors. The art style of the game perfectly captures the tongue-in-cheek vibe of Fallout, based on the art seen in the menus of the first (and subsequent) games. The sound supports it nicely with little daytime TV style riffs.
Edit: the game has just been updated, so I’ll tell you about those updates at the end.
That’s right, the game that was originally ‘for’ the dataphone will soon be playable on your vidscreen. I’m doing a future-talk thing, stay with it.
On the 25th of March (in the future), Square Enix is releasing the game via Steam for £7.99 (799 cybercredits).
DX:TF follows Ben Saxon, a former British SAS mercenary (future division), who had some augmentations and wants to find out what the deal is with some future drugs that are needed by augmented humans. However, [conspiracy redated]. In a race against time, he must neuroblast some cybertroops before the future president does whatever.
