REDACTED REVIEW

I was given a PS5 code from PR Company Honest PR @honestvideogame Publisher KRAFTON Inc Developer Striking Distance @sd_studios

This is released in the UK on the 28/11/2024 and in the UK is priced at £19,99.

INTRODUCTION

Black Iron, a state-of-the-art penitentiary located on Jupiter’s icy moon Callisto, is overrun with hordes of infected inmates. As a modest prison guard your job is simple – get to the last escape pod and get out alive.

FEATURES

• FIGHT/DIE/ADAPT Each death is a learning experience. Starting fresh each run, build up your loadout with powerful experiments, weapon schematics, and buffs to battle through Black Iron. When you die (and you will die), use your hard-earned loot to purchase new permanent weapons, suits, and skills. Get stronger, experiment with your strategy, and get out!
• ROUT YOUR RIVALS You’re not the only person to survive the initial outbreak or willing to use a bit of violence to get to the last escape pod. Some prisoners and even your correctional services colleagues are just as eager to escape and will make escaping harder by attacking you remotely or challenging you to a one-on-one duel. Race them, attack them back remotely, and fight them to the death to make it out in one piece.
• FIGHT YOUR LAST CORPSE When you die, you leave more than a coverall-clad carcass. Defeat the reanimated corpse of the last guard to succumb to the prison’s dangers to earn a powerful experiment. But beware, it’s not going to be an easy fight. The semi-alive guard has the same loadout they had when they met an untimely end and a few extra tricks up its sleeve to keep things spicy.
• “GAME OVER, MAN” You’ve made the perfect build, battled through bosses, ran through rivals, killed your corpse, found all the files, and now you’re standing in front of that last escape pod. Sure, you could leave it all behind for the sweet taste of freedom… or risk it all in one last hardcore do-or-die run back through the prison. Fail and you lose all your purchased gear, skills, suits, and weapons. But IF you succeed, you’ll unlock new powerful permanent gear.
• FUTURE PUNK An irreverent attitude, unique presentation, vivid graphic novel style, and a 180bpm original arcade-punk soundtrack by Mutato Muzika enhance [REDACTED]’s sci-fi setting and fast white-knuckle action.

FAN ART

Story is fun and interesting.

Enemies all have own look to them and all have own attacks to learn in order to beat them and avoid getting killed.

Pretty levels and are detailed.

Controls are easy to understand and easy to learn and responsive which is nice as can get into some hectic fights.

Skills are nice as can equip them to help make own build and all have own uses and own feel to them and can be upgraded.

Perks offer own run bonuses and can make own build.

Weapons are cool as all have own look and own feel to them and can be upgraded.

Easy to die which can be frustrating as easy get mobbed by enemies especially in boss fights with alot of ads to deal with.

Gets very samey and repetitive.

Didn’t grab me to do multiple runs after completing one full run.

OVERALL SUMMARY

Overall story is fun, interesting and the enemies all have own look and attacks to learn in order to beat them and levels are pretty and detailed with controls are easy to understand and learn with skills being cool as offer own feel and perks offer own build to make to suit playstyle and change runs and the weapons all have own look and feel and upgradeable. However £19.99, is easy to die which can be frustrating and gets very samey and repetitive and didn’t grab me to do multiple runs after one full run.
