The project went on Kickstarter way back in 2016, and the game didn’t come to full fruition until it landed on Steam less than two weeks ago on May 30th. Seven Years in the Making ⌗īut man, this remake took a long, long time to get here.

His head will be inside the machine, while the rest of his body is suspended in midair. And whenever you get a game over, you’re going to see SHODAN take over the hacker’s body. You’re going to see big pools of blood, and some of those pools are accomodated with spilt guts. Some of those bodies have been dismembered you’ll usually see a limping arm somewhere along the hallways of Citadel Station. You’re going to see floors strewn with dead bodies. So let me just preface this by saying: if you’re the faint of heart, this game probably isn’t for you. Upon the first couple of hours of gameplay I certainly got a lot of Half-Life vibes, with the sci-fi like setting and zombies chanting “I’m hungry” while they’re chasing after you. Harvesting the power of Unreal Engine 4, lighting is significantly improved, graphics are obviously enhanced, and there have been some other subtle improvements, such as making the cycling of your endless inventory a bit easier.Īdmitedly I never played the original, so I was going into this game with a fresh perspective. Nightdive Studios took on the task of remaking this classic in modern HD nearly 30 years later.

If this premise sounds familiar to you, it’s probably because you played the original way back in 1994. You agree to the terms…but you’re in for, well, a shock. When you wake up somewhere else, a corporate executive offers you your life and the cybernetics you were trying to steal, in exchange for using your technical skills to break into SHODAN (Sentient Hyper-Optimised Data Access Network), the AI that’s hellbent on destroying humanity and runs TriOp’s Citadel Station facility near the planet Saturn. You give them the bird when they demand you turn around, and they knock you unconscious. Unfortunately it’s not long after logging in that some folks comparable to the SWAT team break into your house with guns pointed at you.

Your goal is to steal military cybernetics that will enhance your natural abilities. You’re an unnamed hacker who’s trying to get into the TriOptimum Corporation servers.
