    Pointless "difficulty setting" that can be change anytime mid game without repercussions... hate that.
    Visuals are good, the rest is bad, dropped.

    Good platformer with an average aftertaste. The game interestingly mixes 2d and 3d in pixel art, the graphics are visually pleasing but more for fans of pixel cyberpunk 2d. It looks like a souls like platformer, but the difficulties started only in end game locations. I did not find any problems or bugs in the gameplay, but it is very monotonous. The plot is intriguing at the beginning,Good platformer with an average aftertaste.

The plot is intriguing at the beginning, but then over time, interest disappears. The good ending made me happy, it turned out cozy. The game is very average and for an amateur, but the next day I wanted to return to the game and continue playing, there was no disgust from the game. If you are a fan of souls like platformers, then you should definitely try it, I think the rest will not like it. I'm not a fan of platformers but I liked it.… Expand

    It gets pretty tedious the longer you play, janky UI, story is uninteresting and features lots of obnoxious dialogue, cutscenes can at least be skipped, input lag which makes it a real pain to play with some bosses, at some point the controller flips twin stick direction in at least one big boss fight, lock picking is another annoyance, map is useless most of the time, side missions areIt gets pretty tedious the longer you play, janky UI, story is uninteresting and features lots of obnoxious dialogue, cutscenes can at least be skipped, input lag which makes it a real pain to play with some bosses, at some point the controller flips twin stick direction in at least one big boss fight, lock picking is another annoyance, map is useless most of the time, side missions are hard to figure out what to do, bugs, annoying auto lock on with the gun, very generic uninteresting upgrading of weapons, junk collecting galore, shallow dress selection about 6-7 total, bland characters which I don't care about in the least, definitely needed a western game consultant.

    The pixel graphics are nice, nice 2d/3d switching like Nier Automata, world is interesting to explore but not much there in the end. Overall it's a decent game but all the jank just adds up over time to where it outstays its welcome somewhere past half way or so. Needed more actual gameplay and a lot of polish that I'm not sure the team is capable of themselves. I wouldn't pay full price for it. This is rated as mixed on steam so I conclude there is just shills on here, like so many other reviews here.    … Expand

    So I think that this game is definitely worthy of a 8+. I gave it a 10 so that people will play it. It's a fun change of pace that i play when im trying to chill and not grind a lot.

    Story wise, im not doneyet so i wont let the ending change my ranking, but its fun story so far. fighting is okay, kinda repetitive at times, but bosses are hard enough to make me get up in my seat and    So I think that this game is definitely worthy of a 8+.

    overall 8+/10 and I'd recommend buying the game and helping out the dev.

    After this I think I'll play Ghostwire Tokyo and review that. Just wanted to shout out this game for actually being pretty fun    … Expand

    This was a strange one; everything about this game feels off: the story, the controls, the gameplay. You can tell it's competent, but it almost feels like it comes from a lineage you didn't experience: as if there were an entire parallel universe of video games that you didn't play, and this was the current generation product of it.

Unfortunately that doesn't make it interesting, it just makes it sort of unenjoyable.

    It has a bewildering story that's poorly presented and impossible to care about, with a cyberpunk skin. Absolutely no world building. Nearly zero actual sense in its progression, with a lot of completely unexplained sci-fi word salad for color, I guess. The difficulty is wildly inconsistent; most battles you can cheese except when you can't, and then it's either a cakewalk or a completely unrewarding grind: nothing in between.

    The shame of it all is that you can tell a lot of work went into this, although it feels like the polish to the engine went to all the wrong places. Clearly the designers wanted it to do things it couldn't, and despite there being a shocking number of systems in place, they still manage to cobble together experiences that feel ill-suited to what they've built.

    The graphics are pretty unique though, that was a positive.    … Expand

    Un muy buen juego, es entretenido y te quedas inmerso en todo lo hay.
    Te encariñas con los protagonistas, el sistema de combate es simple y entretenido, explorar te recompensa con saber lo que sucedió con ese mundo y obviamente con objetos
    La verdad me entretuve todo el tiempo que lo juegue, disfrute su mundo, historia y personajes

    Китайский киберпанк, который не смог

    Честно пытался пройти и получить удовольствие, но сделать этого, увы, не смог. В начале игра кажется очень интересной и затягивает своим визуалом (как говорится, встречают по одежке), но дальше однообразный геймплей с беготней туда-сюда и довольно таки посредственным экшеном. В середине игры нить повествования теряется вовсе, где основной, а где    Китайский киберпанк, который не смог

Так и не смог осилить и решил просто себя не мучить. Своих денег не стоит    … Expand

    ANNO: Mutationem definitely has its charm in its niche aesthetic. The amalgamation of 3D environments with the 2D sprites works quite well with the cyberpunk setting, evoking a pleasant PS One feeling. It’s a shame then that the story is derivative and nonsensical in many ways. It doesn’t help that the action is borderline generic albeit there is a commendable effort for an expansive bestiary of regular mobs and bosses.

    ANNO: Mutationem had a lot of promise, but ended up spread far too thin. Both the exploration and combat lack any sort of depth, the story is nonsensical, and the sprite work looks ugly in motion.

    Excellent, punchy side-scrolling combat against diverse and interesting enemies is almost enough by itself to make Anno: Mutationem an easy recommendation. When you add in the neon urban sprawl of Skopp City, bursting with flavor and character around every corner, it gets even easier. An unwieldy plot and less than amazing script show that if the project was missing one thing, it was probably an editor. But none of that stopped me from thoroughly enjoying all the things it did well.
