Hate to bump the thread, I don't care about the game anymore, but here what they say about combat:

The game's combat system is not exactly turn-based. We tried to approach it a bit differently. It's hard to give an example of another RPG with exactly the same system - perhaps something similar already existed, but passed us by.

While the player does not perform any actions, the world and enemies around him do not move, allowing him to think about his next move. As soon as the player performs an action, the world begins to move. At this stage, events occur in real time: robots run towards the player, take out melee or ranged weapons and begin an attack. The world freezes again when the player completes his action.

As a result, the battle is dynamic, but at the same time there is room for developing tactics and strategy.

Basically real time with pause, and the pause is the default state (contrary to say, Baldur's Gate, where real time was default and you had to actively pause the game).

Delayed on steam, available now on Russian gamestore.

Game is free. No microtransactions. No credit cards. No bullshit.

They already got money from government, they don't need more.

Edit: according to first reviews, buggy, constantly crushing, problems with saves. Delicious rusjank

2 hours gameplay. Anyway, yes, it seems the game "had" a lot of bugs with savegames and not only.

Haven't honestly checked the entire video.

They speak russian, I don't.
They had time. I don't.

Plus, I have faith in you all. I said to myself "post the video in the forum and they wil summarize it for you".

And here we are.

To be frank I just jumped to the ending and saw the credits roll. Don't know if they cut the footage.
