  • Summary: KIBORG is an explosive mix of a brutal action game, an endlessly replayable rogue-lite and a narrative-driven time management game in a dark sci-fi setting. Send your clones on procedurally generated missions and build them into cybernetic gods in mere minutes as you cut your way throughKIBORG is an explosive mix of a brutal action game, an endlessly replayable rogue-lite and a narrative-driven time management game in a dark sci-fi setting. Send your clones on procedurally generated missions and build them into cybernetic gods in mere minutes as you cut your way through hundreds of blood-thirsty mutants, drug-addled criminals and mechanized soldiers. Gather resources for permanent upgrades, recruit allies, make alliances, research forbidden technologies and do your best to prepare for inevitable catastrophe.

    You play as Vasiliy - leader of a ragtag band of resistance fighters on a prison planet Sigma. Used to house the most dangerous criminals from all known star systems, Sigma is now locked into an endless quarantine after discovery of the Substance - an ever-adapting mass of rogue nano-bots infected by a malicious alien life form. A generation later, the planet is controlled by several factions fighting for domination.

    In the beginning of the game, Sigma is shaken by an unprecedented event - a catastrophic breach of the Substance inside the planet's only mega-city, housing not only convicts, but also management of various corporations operating on the planet. Everyone is a prisoner now. As the situation escalates and technical systems that control life on Sigma begin to fail, it's every faction for themselves.

    In KIBORG the clock is always ticking. Each mission you undertake costs you a day, regardless of its results, and every week or so, new calamity strikes. You must choose your actions carefully, balancing risks and rewards. With your every decision, with each victory and each loss, the story is moving forward. There is no "game over" screen to see and no previous save to load. You must learn to live with the consequences of your actions.

    KIBORG is an ode to old beat-em-ups but in a roguelike setting. Even though the arenas are a bit bland, especially at the start of the game, the implant mechanic is fun enough to keep you invested just to see what you can build next. If you can forgive the overall blandness and the horrid voice acting, there is fun to be had with KIBORG. And it runs surprisingly well on a Steam Deck.

    At times, fighting for your life on a dystopian reality show pushes the 3D brawler into a curious direction. But at present, Kiborg stumbles with ranged combat and balance, surviving thanks to an overly generous lock-on system and roguelike power-ups.

    Overall, I had a great time with KIBORG. It has good melee combat, along with parries, dodges and intense shooting. It’s also not very expensive, which makes it even easier for me to recommend it. And yes, it has a lot of replay value, thanks to its roguelite approach. I think it does a lot of things right, and while it won’t win any awards, it’s definitely one of those titles that you come back to over and over for one more run.

    This is a game that has a pile of problems, thankfully, the core combat loop is so satisfying that those problems take a backseat to all the brutal fun you are having.
