    Corruption 2029 holds its own. It is difficult to make a game like XCOM, as dozens of failed titles have proved, and this is the first one I played that manages to accurately reproduce Firaxis’ formula while adding its own share of interesting mechanics to it. Behind the pretty exterior and the amazing tactical gameplay, you’ll find a gem that’s definitely worth experiencing -- if you can stomach the relatively small scope and repeated maps. That really shouldn’t be a problem, though. After all, war never changes.

    Corruption 2029 is a tactical RPG that requires players to take their time during encounters. Meticulous planning and strategy are vital to overcoming enemies, but it’s this speed of gameplay that might deter fans of more in-your-face approaches to combat. Still, the game’s narrative fits the atmosphere for an excellent adventure worth the price of entry.

    The fact is, the gameplay in Corruption is fun, and I enjoyed playing it. There aren’t enough challenging tactical games like this (as my thousands of hours in XCOM 2 can stand as evidence of). I commend The Bearded Ladies for knowing they had a cool idea when they saw it, and for focusing on polishing a single aspect of it- in this case the gameplay. And these are games, isn’t gameplay extremely important? Ultimately, Corruption is a tight, extremely playable tactical experience.

    Corruption 2029 is a strange, underwhelming followup.

    Corruption 2029 is a competent tactical game that leaves you wishing it had spent just a little more time in development.

    Corruption 2029 is a shameless clone of Mutant Year Zero minus everything that was good in the original game.

    The game does not offend, but also doesn´t inspire. If it had more original content, it would certainly receive a more positive feedback. Therefore, it is only an average game. [Issue#302]

It's basically a remake of Mutant year Zero with a Sci-fi military vibe. I actually prefer it, very nice graphics, sound and stunning gameplay. I hope this game does well and gets some expansions and I don't think I'm a third of the way through yet. Oh yeah and it runs like butter, much better than mutant year zero.… Expand

It takes all of the ideas of the previous tactical/stealth game and greatly ups the ante. More choices, more freedom (this time you can go loud or quiet).

    Good to see smaller games companies using Epic to support projects that otherwise might have not got off the ground (I personally have no problem using Steam, Origin, GOG and EPIC). Choice is a enabler not a hindrance - it's not like we have to pay a subscription service to any of these!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Even though I love these kind of games and I loved Mutant Year Zero I have to give this a 6 because:
    The good:
    -Strategy like mutant year zero and we need more of these type of games
    -Graphs are okay
    -Music is good
    The bad:
    -No much reason to look every part of the map and kill every enemy like on MYZ because you don't level up and there is no currency to buy stuff in game, the only itens you get on each map are shown, so if you found what you were looking for there is no reason to search the map anymore
    -A lot less maps than MYZ, you do a lot of quests on the same map, so if you already got the items on said map, you just do the mission and move on ignoring all the enemies since items are scarce and you can't buy new items...
    -The game is way too short.
    -Less skills than MYZ so there is not much to experiment once you got what you want and there are less variations on the skills and few slots to boot.
    -Less characters than MYZ, only 3 and they are the same, the difference are the skills and items.
    -Also there are less items than MYZ, I will give you the total numbers for you guys to see how little variation there is on this game: 3 pistols, only 3 and they are the same, 1 silent pistol , 2 TOTAL machine guns, the same type but only 2 the entire game, exactly ONE shotgun, One minigun, 1 flamethrower, 1 sniper and one silent rifle, that's it, the entire game you play with the same guns from the start.... you can't upgrade the weapons, you don't even have armor nor accesories.... It is quite the downgrade from MYZ...    … Expand

    In comparison to MYT:

    - skills and XP system gone
    - weapon upgrades gone
    - weapon modding gone
    - Armor and helmets gone (and no visual soldier customization)
    - buying gear gone
    - artifacts gone
    - the very good dialogues between your soldiers gone (now they are mute)
    - story... yeah... well... if you want to call it that...
    - interesting maps with variety gone, but a lot of map recycling . really a lot! (gets very repetitive and boring quickly)
    - loot on the maps almost gone (just medkits and grenades which don´t respawn, but enemies do)

    To be fair, yes, you find upgrades for your soldiers that replace armor, helmets, weapon mods, skills, well... basically everything, but you just can equip three of them.

    I think this was just a cash grab. While the game mechanics remain good, it feels soulless and lazy.

    If you haven´t played Mutant year zero, play it instead of this....    … Expand
