What players say
Awesome game. Be careful about combat around staircases and ladders, you might get stuck at an inoppertune time. Also, use your AR everywhere, even when you do not initially notice any device.
I can't help but feel that the name Dex doesn't do this game justice since it is such a mundane name. It's like a chef spending hours preparing a decent meal then calling it "dish". The little more than half a day I spent with this game revealed a flawed yet heartfelt labor of love. Characters & the World The most notable part is the voice acting. It is not partial, not low effort, but full blown, good voice acting...
Very nice little cyperpunk RPG. I remember having some trouble when it was first released but returning to it after a couple of years later, I enjoyed it very much. Combat is not the best and hacking can get stale at times, but it is a good indie RPG with an engaging story.
