I don’t mean, by this, that it’s Final Fantasy – i.e. The first is that it’s a fully real-time game until you enter combat – which, if you’re playing smartly, is almost always something triggered by you, as opposed to being caught off-guard by enemies.
In practice, Mutant Year Zero’s something else, even though it shares a couple of dozen concepts with XCOM et al – move and shoot or 2x move in a turn, bleeding out, recharging special attacks, high cover and low cover, percentage hit chances, all that jazz.īut it twists in two profound ways. XCOM’s an over-used go-to for talking about turn-based, cover-centric strategy combat, but it’s a matter of speaking to the thing the most folks recognise. XCOM-ish turn-based action in an apparently shameless borrow from STALKER’s setting, but starring a talking pig and duck? An overwhelmingly nihilistic tone, but also endless use of the ‘duck sounds a bit like another, naughtier word’ gag? Even the name, Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden, has that algorithmically-generated SEO jank vibe to it. It’s worth trying for a spot on the leaderboards (and possibly making yourself into an in-game NPC).There are at least 99 ways this could have gone horribly wrong. All characters and mutations are available from the outset, and performing special actions will earn score multipliers and bonuses. It’s a challenge mode of sorts where players take on existing maps with new enemy types. Those who currently own the game and want a reason to replay it can check out the Stalker Trials. It’s unknown whether the demo will also be coming to PS4 and Xbox One players. To check out the demo, simply click on the tab on the right-hand side of the Steam page. Requiring a 3 GB download, the demo includes “all the content from the beginning of the game” leading up to the Ark, as per Funcom. How else would you describe an XCOM-style game with exploration and an anthropomorphic duck? If you haven’t tried it and want to know what the fuss is about, then the developer has recently released a free demo on Steam. The Bearded Ladies’ Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden was an interesting take on the post-apocalyptic, tactical strategy genre when it first released.
