Encased: A Sci-Fi Post-Apocalyptic RPG Reviews

Classic fallout vibes with really interesting world building

I'm not sure how anyone can give this game a thumbs down. The graphics are crisp and look great, the UI is clean and very user friendly. The story so far is excellent. I see that most of the bad reviews talk about the fact that the game gets less enjoyable during the last third of the game. I can't speak to that because I'm only 13 hours in....but for me...even if the last half doesn't live up to the first half who cares.....I paid 3 USD for this well made game which means it has far surpassed my 2 hours of enjoyment for every one dollar spent ratio. Even if I just get 25 or 30 hours out of it before I get bored or loose interest in the story I have gotten every bit of my money's worth. So.....I guess this is a long winded way of saying that if you like this type of game then your crazy if you don't give it a try.....it's very good.

Scratches that sci-fi Baldur's Gate itch, Larian Studios even backed their kickstarter which should say something. A great CRPG with lots of flexibility in how you can play the game. Sometimes your decisions don't really matter when it comes to main story beats which is a little annoying but overall you do see the difference between what you can or are willing to do. I forgot to do a side thing and the NPCs even mentioned it in one of the Act 1 scenes! This games does a lot right, and I haven't had any problems with it. Definitely give it a try!

There's lot of QOL features missing, unbalanced combat and many other issues, BUT, for the price this game has a good story that maybe it'll inspire you to actually finish it.

I really enjoyed this games creativity and different approach to game mechanics. Cool aesthetic too.

Amazingly fun cRPG action, lots of choices to make although the beginning section is a bit linear but it opens up after.

I highly recommend that you try the game. It's fun with interesting story and characters. Side missions are fun and interesting as well. I would just recommend that you wait for a deep sale.

Final mission is impossible to complete because of game crash and corrupted save files.

The game has been fun to play. Combat is fun. The different factions are interesting. The endings I've reached did disappoint though. I like happy endings, and of all the choices I had, none of them were very satisfying. The companions are fun, but I dislike that you can only arm them with one weapon and that the other slot is blocked by their personal weapon. I loved the Ursula vehicle. But the comment I read somewhere that it would have been fun to get it available in a worse shape and make upgrades available would probably have been fun.

Encased starts strong, with an intriguing setting, solid writing, and satisfying RPG mechanics. The early and mid-game offer great exploration and roleplay opportunities. However, the second half quickly loses momentum. The pacing becomes sluggish, content feels repetitive, and it seems like the game was rushed to completion. The ending is especially underwhelming, frustratingly abrupt and lacking emotional or narrative impact. A promising journey that sadly fades out instead of delivering a strong conclusion.
