    There is an awesome world that has been built here, with so many interesting characters and areas to explore, but poorly thought out gameplay makes Dex a dull affair. Melee combat has no nuance to it, weapons control too poorly to be of any use most of the time, and hacking is repetitive and bland. There is real promise here in the world building and character development, but the terrible gameplay is too much to make up for.

    Slide-scrolling- check, Cyberpunk RPG/fighting/ - check, deep interaction and immersive story - check, and a new fledging game company firstSlide-scrolling- check, Cyberpunk RPG/fighting/ - check, deep interaction and immersive story - check, and a new fledging game company first major release - priceless. Dreadlock ran their Kickstarter campaign quite well and right from the start they built a very different kind of game. The 2D scrolling is smooth and yet you can almost 'see' the 3D interaction with the things , in the places you visit and in the characters you meet or fight or "stealth" your way through the world of Dex. Check it out and become one with a quite interesting and a rewarding gaming experience. Full Review »

    Dex is a 2-D side-scrolling sci-fi RPG.

    Pros:
    * I was able to determine quite quickly that I didn't like Dex.
    * The beginning of the story seems intriguing. I wasn't motivated to play too far into the game, so I can't comment on how it evolves.
    * The skills seem interesting, I suppose.

    Cons:
    * The voice acting is awful.
    * The dialogue is awful.
    * The controls are unintuitive, and can't be re-mapped.
    * Sometimes, it looks like there's a floor to walk on when there really isn't, resulting in rather frustrating deaths.

    I'm tired of the game after just a few hours. I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone.

Despite those problems it makes me wanna be patient and keep playing. And suprisingly it rewards me with a nice RPG experience, great characters and methodical gameplay. So as long as it does that, the bugs doesn't bother me more then they are is triple A games like Ubisoft's games. I give it a 10 because I bought it for 5 bucks and man for that price is awesome! For 20 though that is it's main price is more like a 7. Full Review »
