Excellent experience that takes may queues from the early Fallout 2D games. Rich story, crazy encounters, and plentiful voice acting. Stealth is a bit obnoxious, but combat, and exploring is where this game shines. They can't alert anyone if they're dead, right? I did kinda feel the game cut short and the ending was a bit "meh," but the ending result slideshow was certainly fun. I would seriously love to help kickstart another 2D game by these folks. Well worth it! I'll probably play it through again as an Serial Killer Orange for giggles... I mean stress relief... and mean.. nevermind.

I'm writing this review as someone who's never really played games like this. I'm a "cozy" gamer. I like Stardew, the Sims, Animal Crossing etc., I also haven't finished the main story line either. I like this game, a lot. I've always loved the Fallout games but was never able to play them because I suck at combat. This game eliminates that problem for me. It's very "Fallout" themed, but the turn-based combat is a win for me. I can see as other people who've played games that have actual combat would not like this game. I also really enjoy the story line so far, and the characters. I enjoy the semi-laidback feel of this game. It's challenging enough for me where I don't want to give up the game completely. But what do I know? I'm just a cozy gamer, trying something that fits my game play style while also wanting to fight weird zombie like monsters and travel though a dystopian universe without it being to difficult for me.

Roleplaying as a master psionic, highly charismatic influencer with zero intelligence who tries to fight every vending machine I meet. Everyone loves me.

So it's 343 hours spent on this game and i guess i am ready to write my review. If there exisited "Strong but medicore" score i would put it on this game. Encased is game between two contrasts - at first it seems like your classic Fallout adventure with strong elements of Roadside Picnic or STALKEr but in depth there bit...different picture. Story and Quests - Some quests sounds really cool! Some secondary quests have nice vibe and feel but in end they feel like unrewarding enough. I mean - my PC just passed some death-row labyrinth, witnessed horrors and rewarded with some medicore artifact. Feel bit unfair but well reward is reward and this is just one spoilerless example. Main story feel nice but yet not very branching and somehow cut on edges. Factions ain't feel so alive cause they have one or two side quests and no unique rewards. But still story feel good and somehow complete. Companions and Items-weapons-armors-relics-crafts - Companions are very nice edge between "Weird" and "Unique" - there just few people who will follow you in Dome and barren-lands - They are typical archetype of "Ranger", "Melee" and "mage" but in some mixes and matches. They look cool, they feel unique yet somehow they are dull and lack of "personal quests" yet they feel like they SHOULD have some but been cut that idea on release. There lot of things that can Player use - from drinks, foods, stims to some cool gadgets and weapons but some of weapons and relics feel somehow useless or too repetive to use. I haven't find my "favorite" type of weapon or item in Encased yet i feel most of them have potential that haven't been released. Psionics feel very situational and mostly awesome but impractical at some moments (Like onehit kill but only when your opponent is tired enough), some guns and melee feel like "magikarp power" - they start to be useful after good dedication of upgrades and resources on them. Relics are bit dull - they sound like their artifact analogues from STALKER - giving some benfits with some negative effects , and some unique quest rewards give benefits only but...I didn't found anything cool and most of relics been sold or salvaged except some few for my psionic-melee build. Yet they still feel like something - i wish there could be more relics, maybe some should be "weaponized" more, or give more abilities but well we have what we have now. World and Gameplay - World feel unique. There some nice feel between Gothic's 1 Prison dome and strong sense of "Roadside Picnic" in a world of "Atompunk" of Fallout 2 vibe. Shame that only few unqiue random-encouters and after 1/4 of game random encouters became very repetive and lose their vibe between "Horror" and "Science wonder of exploration". Also as small cherry on top there craft system - it's nice. I reallt like it. but some objects feel very "uncrfaty" - for example you can craft pistol, rifle and machinegun bullets but shotgun shots are buy-only and can't be crafted from same polymetal ore. There few items that seem to be must be useful but ended up in my endless stash and never came out. But on 90% craft system is nice Atmosphere and Gameplay - Yes we came to moment WHAT saves it all and why i played 300+ hours in Encased :D. It's awesome and unique world and atmosphere build-up. I am finishing my 2nd playthrough and beside all dull and questionable moments i still like this game. Verdict? - It's a solid good rpg that have lot of potential in form of DLC OR...Sequel. Yes. Sequel with all reworks and mistakes fixing would be great. Cheers!
