10/10
Most Underrated Souls-Like Game

Warning: Spoilers
I don't write long reviews so this is a pretty short one. The game takes place in the year ~2079 in Jericho City. The plot of the game is about the protagonist who survived a plane crash along with another girl and has strange visions of her and soldiers looking for her saying that she can save the world. Above the city is a structure presumed to be related to nanites - main antagonist of the game. You try to find the the girl and save her. After a long time you will meet her grandpa who says that they don't have enough time to save her. You run to save her but the time you defeat the general who's idea was to use the girl as a salvation from the nanites. Eventually she gets transformed into a giant worm-like creature and the nanite thing above the city gets destroyed leaving the city destroyed and almost everyone in there infected. You go to the main base of a cult called "Children Of The Spark" with information that the "Spark" can save the girl and possibly the word. Upon getting there you realize that you won't be able to get the "Spark" because "Brother Eli" (who betrayed you after you killed his brother by his permission) took it. When you get back to grandpa he is dead and he was killed by Brother Eli. Near his corpse is his robot H. A. R. O. L. D who is getting hacked by "Children of the Spark". After a short time of getting to the ground floor of the institute you see that H. A. R. O. L. D was hacked and transformed into dog-looking robot. After killing him you go to the "The Giant Wall" which was supposed to protect Jericho City from nanites. When you get to The Giant Wall you will eventually get to the top of it and meet Brother Eli. Then he teleports you to "Dreamscape" where you will have to fight him and kill him. After the boss fight you have two options. Either kill him or spare him. In the ending cutscene you see the girl walking on The Great Wall and looking outside of the city where more nanites in the sky. And then the credits roll.

Conclusion: I enjoyed the game. The story could be a little bit better and the ending could've explained more things. It just feels kind of abrupt.

Gameplay: 8/10 Story: 6/10 Graphics: 7/10 Ending: 5/10 Total: 26/40.
