Freedroid exists in two flavors : - FreedroidClassic is a 2D arcade game similar to Paradroid - FreedroidRPG is an original isometric 3D role playing game inspired from Diablo and Fallout, taking place in the future, on Earth.
great little game with lots of potential--it is still in development and there are still many "loose ends" to be tied or snipped. There are plot lines that go nowhere, arbitrary fenced off areas (for future development) and very little documentation. Even in its nascent form, the game is fun, interesting, and has quite a bit of replay-ability. One added bonus--important for me--the violence in the game is expressed in "destroying robots" rather than "shooting people." Some say it features a "Diablo-like" combat system. This is mostly accurate, with some clever work-arounds. For example: Instead of having "magic" the player's character is a Linnarean, a representative of a race of beings who have the ability to hack into robots through some sort of mental process. Likewise, they can expand and deepen their abilities by studying "Sourcebooks" with titles such as: "broadcast virus" (does a small amount of damage and paralyzes the robot), "malformed packet" (does some damage remotely) and "compute pi" (slows down the affected robot for a bit). This game has an amazing potential, and even at this stage it is a good gameplay.
The game is fun and engaging. Well worth spending a couple of hours playing.
A cyberphunk like game, but geeky than Neuromancer... need a little bit of work in the story, but it is really nice!
