About This Game

A tactical sci-fi RPG set in a dystopian environment allowing you to fight enemies, explore the hostile wasteland, level up your character and join one of the factions – made up of survivors - in the shattered world and cut off from the rest of society.

Enrolling in one of the five wings of the CRONUS Corporation - each with its own features, mechanics and game options - and embark on a one way trip inside the Dome in the quest for unique artifacts as you avoid radiation, anomalies and a whole host of creatures out to do you harm.

You may start as an ordinary company employee but you will eventually become the driving force behind the narrative that takes place before, during, and after the disaster known as ‘The Incident’.

Crafting, combat, negotiation; you’re going to need all your wits about you if you want to survive.



Once you’re familiar with the basics, you are thrust into an open world filled with riches and danger. The old ways are gone – ground into dust by the powerful Maelstrom – and rising from the ashes are six powerful factions, vying for control over the ravaged landscape under the Dome. Will they be allies or enemies? That choice – and the future of the Dome – is in your hands.



Not everyone under the Dome is your friend; quite the reverse in fact. If you’re a smart likeable character (with a high charisma rating) you might be able to talk your way out of things. But more likely it’s time for a bit of ultra-violence. And that means weapons; lots of weapons. And there’s no shortage of choice: from high tech beam weapons through to a solid right hook, there’s loads of way to bring down a hostile group of foes. Of course, you can be a pacifist and use non-lethal force but that’s a story for another day…



The hostile and unforgiving world can be a lonely place; so why not team up with some like-minded individuals and face the challenges together. From hardened criminals built like mountains or scientists with a shady past, there’s a host of different potential companions to journey with, each replete with their own unique personality and skills.

Or you can just go “Lone Wolf” and face everything alone; it’s not an easy road but you can play this way too if you so wish.



Encased is full of choices: from what sort of character you will be, what wing you will join and how honourable a person you are. What equipment do you take? How will you fight? Do you craft better weapons or armour?

And it doesn’t stop there. You will hold lives in the balance and will have to choose who survives and who perishes.

And every decision you make will impact the story and your gaming experience. Well, no one said surviving Armageddon was going to be easy…

Encased starts strong, with an intriguing setting, solid writing, and satisfying RPG mechanics. The early and mid-game offer great exploration and roleplay opportunities. However, the second half quickly loses momentum. The pacing becomes sluggish, content feels repetitive, and it seems like the game was rushed to completion. The ending is especially underwhelming, frustratingly abrupt and lacking emotional or narrative impact. A promising journey that sadly fades out instead of delivering a strong conclusion.

Final mission is impossible to complete because of game crash and corrupted save files.

The game has been fun to play. Combat is fun. The different factions are interesting. The endings I've reached did disappoint though. I like happy endings, and of all the choices I had, none of them were very satisfying. The companions are fun, but I dislike that you can only arm them with one weapon and that the other slot is blocked by their personal weapon. I loved the Ursula vehicle. But the comment I read somewhere that it would have been fun to get it available in a worse shape and make upgrades available would probably have been fun.

I highly recommend that you try the game. It's fun with interesting story and characters. Side missions are fun and interesting as well. I would just recommend that you wait for a deep sale.

I'm not sure how anyone can give this game a thumbs down. The graphics are crisp and look great, the UI is clean and very user friendly. The story so far is excellent. I see that most of the bad reviews talk about the fact that the game gets less enjoyable during the last third of the game. I can't speak to that because I'm only 13 hours in....but for me...even if the last half doesn't live up to the first half who cares.....I paid 3 USD for this well made game which means it has far surpassed my 2 hours of enjoyment for every one dollar spent ratio. Even if I just get 25 or 30 hours out of it before I get bored or loose interest in the story I have gotten every bit of my money's worth. So.....I guess this is a long winded way of saying that if you like this type of game then your crazy if you don't give it a try.....it's very good.

There's lot of QOL features missing, unbalanced combat and many other issues, BUT, for the price this game has a good story that maybe it'll inspire you to actually finish it.
