In today's hotfix, we've addressed a few bugs that have been discovered, and also made some cosmetic changes to the game regarding sound and level design.
The last patch was a real test for the team – we’ve added gamepad support, new content, expanded on car mechanics, and added a Linux version. Henriquejr spotted a hotfix for Encased: ENCASED - PATCH 3, HOTFIX 1: Gamepad tweaks, critical bug fixes and cosmetics At least until new patches are being published which hopefully fix the problems and fill the game with additional content. But if you are rather skeptical or put a lot of emphasis on combat mechanics, then you should keep your distance. If you really like the setting and you want to sink yourself into the world, then you can definitely give it a try. My personal rating of the game for that reason is a thumb barely reaching the three-quarter line. But you have to accept that every now and then you will be disappointed, which of course wouldn't have happened if it was really the "Fallout of our Dreams". The game is still fun, which is partly thanks to the great events and partly because of the zones and quests which are actually designed thoroughly.
After 10 to 20 hours you can already see a clear drop in how thoroughly things have been designed, which is especially true for some zones and game balance. Prime Matter is a division of Koch Media GmbH, Austria.Encased is promising much more than it can keep over the duration of the game, which in my case, with reading out all the texts was more than 120 hours. After all, you can't survive on an empty stomach.
Repair and craft: forge robotic armor - Servoshell, build unique guns and upgrade them. Build your reputations with one faction or try to please them all, but remember that sometimes compromises are impossible. Make difficult decisions: steal, assasinate or help despite any concequences. Not all of them will be humans, by the way. Study relics to reveal technological secrets of the Dome and then explore the lands, finding new places, anomalies and rivals. Go on a journey and learn dozens of useful abilities like hacking, mechanics, thieving or even driving. Level up your own unique character: will you specialise in stealth, melee combat, sniper rifles, psionics or diplomacy? Will you be a lone wolf or a party leader? Or maybe even try to play through the game as low intellect hero? It's all up to you.
Kill everyone, be a pacifist or choose anything in-between, the game will adapt to your playstyle. Don't have charisma for that? Then bribe them! Encased story is deep, each quest can be completed differently, depending on your stats and choices and those choices will really matter in the end, thanks to multiple game endings. Threaten your enemies out of battle: persuade important people to give you favors. Change the future of the Dome and its inhabitants or go your own way. The old order is gone, now five powerful factions rule over the wasteland.
Start the game as an ordinary company employee and become the driving force behind the story that takes place before, during, and after the disaster that became known as the Incident.Īfter getting familiar with the world, dive into an open world full of freedom and danger.

Start the game in one of the five divisions of the CRONUS Corporation - Wings, each with its own features, mechanics, and game options.
