JYDGE is there latest game, a futuristic top-down Cop Shooter.
The first thing I noticed about the gameplay is how smooth everything runs, you really feel the love and care that 10tons Ltd put into the game with small details that added to the overall experience. Your job is to eliminate crime in the City of Edenbyrg and rescue the hostages with any means necessary.
The game starts simple, by introducing you to its mechanics, Mood and setting. The more I played, the more I appreciated how deep the game is. Each Chapter is divided into 5 sections separated across the map. Before each mission, you are given different objectives that you can complete. Rescue the hostages, loot all the containers and Exit in 20 seconds are just some of the objectives that I came across. The objectives are fun, and they never felt repetitive. The more objectives you complete the more medals and money you earn.
The amount of customizing is impressive, your weapon is called the Gavel and it is filled with different configurations that you can equip. Special weapons such as a Rocket Launcher will help you destroy larger enemies but they have limited use per level so you have to use them wisely. Fire Mods comes with countless bullets to unlock and choose from such as Shot Gun Shells and Plasma with each having its own strengths and weaknesses. Everything within the Gavel weapon can be upgraded to the Max with the money you make by confiscating containers from each level. Upgrading the Gavel always felt satisfying.
You can also choose between countless cyberware Items on your suit and equip any that fits your strategy for each level. For example, Shadow Blend allowed me to sneak in between dark areas to take out enemies while Liam the Laser Drone helped me destroy enemies faster. The amount of choices you have before starting a mission are countless.
You will encounter challenging enemies during the game, especially boss battles. Planning ahead is key to beating them. You will die a lot in this game but the more you play the better you become.
I enjoyed the music in JYDGE because it suited the futuristic setting, the cool music blended well with the action and the over the top gameplay. The controls were easy to use and responsive which is great for a game like this that requires a fast response from the player
The Graphics in JYDGE are good, most enemies look different especially the bosses and the City of Edenbyrg looks imposing due to the small touches of each level. The dark, gritty mood is felt here and you could really feel the tension while completing the mission
The replay value is high, once you finish a chapter, you unlock Hardcore difficulty and replaying the missions again on hardcore mode earns you more medals to unlock new levels. The endless customization options in your weapon and gear will keep you coming back for more to try out newer, more creative techniques in a mission. Teaming up with a friend and playing co-op adds a further layer of depth in the game. I enjoyed coordinating with my partner. Do we move in unnoticed? Or do we blast our way in and complete the level in 30 seconds? Those were fun decisions to make.
Over all I enjoyed the game but I would have enjoyed it more if there was more emphasis on the story. JYDGE is a fun, vibrant action packed game with tons of replay value that deserves attention… Expand
