developer: Deck13 Interactive. publisher: Focus Home Interactive. platform: PC, XONE, PS4The Surge is an action RPG set in dark science-fiction world. The game takes us 60-70 years in the future, to an age after humanity’s technology has turned against it, bringing ruin to the entire planet. With the advancement of machines, most of the jobs up to now performed by humans became unnecessary. Those who survived were forced to leave the overpopulated towns and head for rural areas looking for work.This post-apocalyptic world is home to artificially modified humans as well as some more inhuman inhabitants.
Although most humans use popular exoskeletons, created to boost effectiveness and abilities of people. Thus, we don’t play as soldier, but rather an ordinary human in possession of customizable exoskeleton.The game’s world is shown from third-person perspective. Thanks to the employment of modern technology and the aforementioned exoskeletons, the fights are more dynamic than in competing titles. One of the features that sets The Surge apart from competition is its unique and very extensive crafting and upgrade system, which is deeply connected to fighting.
