FULL VERSION (Coming Soon)


A top-down adventure with real-time tactical combat, team-based puzzles and RPG elements. Far from home and with no memory of the apocalypse, the dwarves do what they do best - Fight, Loot and Forge. through hordes of murderous bots lead by a homicidal AI overlord. Move your team into position and work with your fellow dwarves in a real-time game of tactical leapfrog. Choose the right dwarf for the right job and your way forward will be much smoother.

Grab an extra controller or two and enjoy the game with friends with seamless drop in/out co-op play.

Mechanics

  • Switch dwarves to use their special abilities to solve puzzles - hacking, jumping, moving heavy objects
  • Join or leave a game at anytime - play with up to 3 players
  • Hack, smash or bypass murderous robots to progress deeper into this urban dungeon
  • Collect loot that can be used to forge stronger gear to face the challenges ahead
  • Discover what happened to humanity and the fate of your fellow dwarves.

Real-time Action


Knowing when to move a dwarf and when to hold position provides a unique challenge not present in similar games. The game AI allows your team to move as a deadly unit but you will often need to temporarily leave one of your team behind to control a strategic point. Choosing the right dwarf will greatly improve your chances.

"Cyberforge: First Light" is is not a game. It's an advertisement for a product called "Cyberforge". Cyberforge is an aborted attempt to make a game nobody wanted, a lulzy bad twin stick shooter with some "cyberdwarf" theme (they've obviously played a bit of Deep Rock Galactic and decided they could get famous by exerting 1% of the talent and ripping off someone else's ideas). It was shaping up to be a pointless procgen hellhole, but then they gave up after nobody bothered with their abandoned Early Access advertisement. So, "Cyberforge" was never made, to the relief of gamers everywhere. But this isn't completely relevant because this is not Cyberforge, it's just an advertisment for it, so it's not correct to try to review that completely distinct product. We must instead review this for what it is... an advertisement. If you enjoy advertisements, you can consume them for free on the web or on Youtube without needing to add them to your game library, download them, and then launch the advertising. It's impossible in a general sense to recommend people should do that over playing real, full games on Steam, and that applies here with "Cyberforge: First Light" too. Usually …

Игра Cyberforge: First Light — это захватывающее погружение в неоновый мир будущего, где технологии и человечность переплелись до неузнаваемости. Первое, что бросается в глаза, — это потрясающий визуальный стиль. Городские пейзажи, пропитанные светом голограмм и дождем, создают неповторимую атмосферу киберпанка. Геймплей же представляет собой смесь динамичных перестрелок, стелс-элементов и исследования открытого мира. Каждое задание ощущается продуманным, а возможность выбора влияет на дальнейшее развитие сюжета, что добавляет реиграбельности. Особенно хочется отметить проработку персонажей и их истории, которые не оставляют равнодушным. Конечно, встречаются и мелкие недочеты, как и в любом масштабном проекте, но они меркнут на фоне общего качества игры. Cyberforge: First Light — это определенно глоток свежего воздуха для жанра, который стоит внимания всех поклонников научной фантастики и качественных RPG.

TLDR: Very good game for early access. My only real critique is a bug report. At first I thought that more rooms haven't been designed yet, but I'm on my third run so far and the same room keeps repeating, even though I know different ones exist that I've been in before, so there may be a small bug with rooms repeating. In terms of what the game has to offer its a very good rogue like with good strategy and fun puzzles, and It's very fun to get good at.

looks great so far! i like the "lost vikings" vibe between the 3 characters. i think this game has a lot of promise. i couldnt get my controller to work, but its not an official controller for mac or steam, so it is always hit or miss with what games it will work with. im looking forward to more updates!
