    Some jank does not stop Encased from being one of the most ambitious and greatest CRPGs in years.

    A quality cRPG in the footsteps of classic Fallout that will satisfy fans of the genre. Some flaws do not allow it to reach the top scoring levels but in any case it is clearly a worthwhile purchase.

    Dark Crystal Games’ passion for this type of game shines through in every facet. They have made every attempt to make the game as accessible to a wide range of players as possible. The game feels tight in terms of performance and I encountered no bugs. How much one will enjoy the game really depends on how much one will put into it.

    Encased is an old school RPG with lots of content and an exciting story. However, it is perhaps a little bit too faithful to the classics.

    Very responsive, fairly faithful to its inspirations, Encased knows how to offer a complete RPG, which intelligently responds to the decisions you make. Unfortunately, the title stumbles on its combat portion, rather failed and too anchored in the past, and is sometimes confused in the follow-up of the objectives to be accomplished. A pleasant experience, but not unforgettable, therefore, reserved for fans of old-school C-RPG.

    Encased can suck you into it for dozens of hours for exploration and complex, difficult battles with various tactics but also leave you frustrated with the way it approaches the story and characters.

    The world of Encased is scant on exciting adventures, yet it’s overflowing with gibberish to the point that it breaks any suspension of disbelief.

TheThus, the developers managed to create a good game with "Encased". The storyline is exciting and the character creation is second to none. The voice actors also do a good job and create an intense storyline. The different choices are fun and give the game a very special depth. The various battles are decent, but more would have been possible here. If you would like to experience a good role-playing game on the PC again and don't want to spend a lot on it, you should take a closer look at "Encased".

    But overall is an interesting game and I hope they can do a better game in the future solving all this problems.

    A good Fallout-like game. You will enjoy it if you can forgive this points. History is great too.    … Expand
