About Crimson Shift

Story:

The story is about a girl called Naokee. She's forced to become an assassin after being taken from her place of origin. As time goes on, she encounters people who are willing to help her break free and learn the truth, as the technologically advancing city is slowly thrown into chaos.

You're trying to take her towards the end result you see fit, as you can influence aspects of her personality so she prioritizes certain things over others. There is no good or bad ending, there's only action and consequence. The connection to her can only be severed by death.

Gameplay:
The game is a sci-fi, fast paced, turn-based RPG where split-second decisions can decide a fight. Utilizing the combo-system of the game, the player is allowed to gain significant advantage over the enemy, but one wrong move and everything can go wrong.
As for the non-combat part of the game, the player has to make decisions to drive the game forward, and the ending is decided based on those decisions.

Game features:
- Fast paced turn based battles.
- Combat based on combo system.
- Dark, futuristic atmosphere accompanied by a dark story
- Multiple Endings based on player choice.
- Assassination System - Avoid direct confrontation by Assassinating enemies.
- Challenging, unique combat
- Forming Naokee's personality/attitude through choice

CAYNE is a short science fiction horror adventure that starts with a pretty horrible situation. I play as Hadley, a woman who wakes up inside a strange facility while nine months pregnant, with no idea why she is there or why the people running the place want her baby. From there I have to explore the facility, search through rooms, use different computer systems and work out how to escape. The setup immediately gives the game a dark atmosphere, and I like that it does not waste much time getting me into the situation. The strongest part for me is the atmosphere. The isometric environments are full of blood, machinery, medical equipment and disturbing little details, and the game does a good job making the facility feel like somewhere I really do not want to be. Hadley is also a more unusual protagonist for this kind of horror game, and the fact that she is heavily pregnant makes some of the situations feel even more uncomfortable. The fully animated characters and voice acting help the story feel more alive too. I especially like the way the computer systems and other objects around the facility can be interacted with because it makes exploring feel worthwhile. The point and cli…

Игра 'Crimson Shift' - это динамичный шутер, пропитанный атмосферой киберпанка. Захватывающий сюжет, хотя и не самый оригинальный, держит в напряжении до самого финала. Боевая система реализована на высоком уровне: арсенал оружия разнообразен, а динамичные перестрелки не дают заскучать. Графика выполнена в мрачных тонах, создавая гнетущую атмосферу мегаполиса будущего. Однако, игра не лишена недостатков. Управление иногда кажется немного неуклюжим, а ИИ противников оставляет желать лучшего. Локации, хоть и атмосферные, порой кажутся однообразными. В целом, 'Crimson Shift' – это достойный представитель жанра киберпанк-шутеров, который способен увлечь на несколько часов. Рекомендую любителям динамичных перестрелок и мрачных антиутопий, несмотря на некоторые недочеты. Игра явно обладает потенциалом и может стать еще лучше в будущих обновлениях.

Very interesting ideas and concepts with the game. - The battle is uniquely designed. - Plot is engaging. A good RM game in a sea of shovelware.
