    A bit slow paced, not all run and gun, not run and gun at all. Multiple ways to achieve your goals. Story is Ok, the world is huge the backstory is a bit too complex and convoluted but fine I guess. May be better to follow a character build guide than just pouring experience points all over the place. I do recommend it, but it's not for all. Very similar in gameplay to Wasteland 2/3.

    REALLY is a DAMN shame that the studio is closed/defunct/dead-as-a-doorknob.... Ya'll get the point. Encased is a REALLY fun game, assuming you're into the OG-Fallouts & NOT the 3D/Bugthesda Fallouts. Even the GOAT 3D Fallout isn't a comparison. DEFF worth a few dollars if you have a CRPG itch & are just WILDLY experienced with said genre/sub-genre. Keep it mind THIS IS a indie-game, yes it MAY not have the polish…

    I've tried to get into this game like 5 times over the years, but I always end up shelving it shortly after the prologue. It feels kinda sluggish to play, has some IMO really annoying mechanics and the overall writing/story is pretty meh. Companions are also very basic and bland. I feel kinda bad giving Encased a thumbs down, but IMO you're better of playing Wasteland 3, Trudograd, Underrail etc. I'm giving up on…
