Something to look forward to: If you like stealthy, turn-based, tactical
combat, the developers of Mutant Year Zero have your bag. Corruption
2029 is set to release in a couple of weeks. Have your cloaking device
ready because one false move could alert the enemy and significantly
make your job harder.
The Bearded Ladies, the studio behind Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden,
announced its next game on Friday. Corruption 2029 is another tactical
adventure the team has been quietly developing since MYZ released just
over a year ago. Judging by the reveal trailer (below), many of the
elements from the studio's previous effort have carried over to the new
game, including the stealth and cover mechanics.
Corruption 2029 is set in a post-apocalyptic America in the year 2029,
as the title denotes. Instead of talking animals, players will be in
control of a squad of futuristic, augmented super soldiers. Like its
predecessor, there will be a heavy focus on stealth tactics.
The mission: To infiltrate “deep into enemy territory to discover the
cause of the corruption” that has laid waste to the country. It will not
be easy, though. The developers claim this newest game will be harder
than most other tactical strategy games.
“Corruption 2029 is a hardcore tactical game that should test the mettle
of even the most experienced tactical gamers,” says the game’s Epic
Store page.
This is not unusual for the team, as MYZ was pretty “hardcore” as well.
“Fail to fell a lone foe in the first turn and they’ll yell for help, or
resort to high-damage options such as assault rifles and grenades and
everyone’s gonna know about it,” Rock Paper Shotgun said in its Mutant
Year Zero review. “You need to not pull the trigger unless you’re sure
you can finish the job silently, in a single turn. It’s unfailingly
difficult because enemies almost always have more hitpoints than your
silenced weapons have standard damage, but it’s such a thrill.”
It looks like more of the same with a different story and coat of paint, which is not a bad thing.
