Our take on Encased: A Sci-Fi Post-Apocalyptic RPG
The store copy emphasizes the open world, six factions, weapons, companions, and consequential choices, while giving less attention to the practical weight of crafting, negotiation, and character management. The broad premise leaves the day-to-day balance among these systems less prominent.
What is Encased: A Sci-Fi Post-Apocalyptic RPG?
Encased is a tactical science-fiction RPG set in an alternate 1970s, after a massive artifact called the Dome is found in an isolated desert.
Players cross a dangerous wasteland, shape a character, make gear, and resolve confrontations with firearms, conversation, or restrained tactics. Five CRONUS Corporation divisions and six rival groups offer different paths, while companions bring varied abilities and temperaments; a solitary playthrough is possible as well. Choices involving faction loyalty, equipment, morality, and fighting style influence the plot and the fate of its characters. Expeditions within the Dome involve collecting rare objects while contending with radiation, strange phenomena, and hostile creatures. The story spans the period surrounding the catastrophe called the Incident, including its lead-up and aftermath.
