    Damn waste of time.

        You are not going to like this game. As tempting as it is to leave it at that I might as well explain why your going to be hitting your head on a desk wishing you hadn't paid full price for something that is a large test of patience.

        The big thing for me, while i was playing this, was the god awful sound in this game. The weapons sound dumb and are the equivalent of nails running down a chalk board. If that doesn't sound bad enough then you have to listen to the same said sound because there's a whole lot of fighting to be done. Even the voice over's are bad. It's like the voice actors came in, said their lines once and left.

        The game's level designs are one of the few things that are actually not a heaping pile of crap. Some of the levels are well designed and keep moving at a steady pace but don't think this doesn't come at a price, because it does. The game bites the dust with it's frame rate, which would probly start chugging if all your character did was sneeze.

        Like I said before, you're going to be doing allot of fighting. Some games this is a good thing, but when your combat mechanic is crapishly flawed, that's a bad thing. It also bares mention that the A.I. is down right dumb, so most of the time you'll feel like your taking advantage, which is helpful  seing as how the gamedoesn't reward you for being smart.

        Don't bother with this one. Simple as that.

    Average critic score: 4.1

      Good: Being a fan of tabletop RPGs I have enjoyed my fair share of genres including steampunk, a genre that this game allows for fans to play and in my opinion thoroughly enjoy. Graphically this game runs very smooth with great textures when run on high settings across the board. The levels are amazingly large with tall structures of factories one would commonly find in an industrial environment. Because of these large and high standing buildings the game truly shines in that you must climb, le...

      Steam punk… What a ridiculous concept. Futuristic technology in a dated society is no new ordeal in the media world, but it only seems that with it your product is almost certainly destined for the kiss of death. Let's face it now, there are only a handful of steam punk related products that have actually been any good and simply put, to me, it doesn't quite have the same fascinating subtext as its proper neo sibling, cyber punk.So needless to say, because of this, my own initial impressions of ...
