i fing love this game. ultrawide support (no jank even at 4k), not a single crash. Since recent updates, i haven't encountered any worthwhile bugs. maybe only one minor flickering bug, but thats probably on my end, and rare. Was so glued to this, didnt even think to boot up cyberpunk instead. The combat is so friggin satisfying, especially as you level up. I really hope to see a similar formula in future games, this is certainly a breath of fresh air. Loved it so much, i bought it even though it's in my family share.

About This Game
CORPUS EDAX is an immersive first-person-melee RPG, set in a distant retro-futuristic city on the brink of a revolution and on a planet that hides its own secrets. Fight with your body, improvised weapons and ingenuity.
- A Skills and A.G.N.I.S. (Allure, Grit, Nerd, Intuition, Strength) system. Place objects in the world to reach places or climb over fences, creating your own path. Locked door? Hack it. Or lockpick it. Destroy it. Or alternatively, seduce or convince a guard to open it for you
- Dialogue system that uses the stats of your character for special dialogue choices. Delve deep into branching dialogues or just skip it all, your choice.
- Physically-based characters so you can throw pipes at the legs, arms or head and they will react as they should. Pick up a chair, throw it, swing it or kick it onto someone.
- Personal reputation in the form of 3 traits - Insightful, Impetuous and Altruistic. Dialogues your actions in world will contribute to one of these 3 traits, unlocking new dialogue choices and reactions.
Up to you how you want to play:
- Go as a stealthy ninja who allocates all their Skill Points into Stealth and Athletics to move faster, quieter and unlock different moves.
- Or maybe you'd rather put all your points into Grit and Combat, and become a unstoppable beat'em up machine?
- If combat isn't your specialty, try putting more points into Allure and Intuition and scheme your way past confrontation.
Almost a century ago, Humanity left Earth for a new planet due to catastrophic events rendering it unlivable to humans. A previously unknown planet was found accidentally as it put itself in collision course with the Earth's ships. With nowhere to go, we settled here.
A new city was built on this planet that was named shortly-after, "CORPUS EDAX". New rules and laws were created. Over the years its newly formed World Government struggled to lead a unified planet - any form of cultural identity expression from former countries was prohibited and made illegal. Citizens are graded from A to D based on their aptitude and contribution towards the government.
After waking up from a medically-induced coma, you find yourself inside a newly built echeloned City. In one way or another, you'll get entangled in the fight for justice with The Salvation, as they see it, or in a fight for you own rule. Help shape the future of Corpus Edax, for a better tomorrow for your fellow citizens (or not, your choice).

User Reviews
I did not care for this, like at all.
Game's fine; very short, pretty basic. There was clearly a lot of intention put into the early portions, with various routes and approaches to completing an area, but it eventually becomes a linear melee combat simulator. A couple things can happen in the ending text scroll based on what you do earlier in the game, but the good/bad ending is entirely dependent on an NPC surviving (or not) in the final fight. Nothing is "reactive" which is fine, but there's even an (unlisted) side objective to spare a character's brother instead of killing him and she doesn't remark on it at all. I thought there would be a lot more. Maybe that's my mistake. Some of the things in the tutorial -- specifically the retractable poles you can throw into walls -- literally only show up in the final zone afaik. I think the mechanics are fun and the combat is decent. I've spent $18 on worse. As long as you know you're getting into a 4 hour experience where you beat the same two guards to death with punches and...
