Neoverse outfits9/5/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() No, this isn't really a tough ordeal the likes of Slay the Spire, Neoverse's big, and more popular brother. Trouble is, all these are thrown at you, in a cluttered, convoluted mess of a user interface, which is far from welcoming. There are consumable items to equip objectives to complete and get rewards for a skill tree to spend those hard-to-earn skill points on an always-available shop to buy stuff with the accumulated gold buffs and debuffs a colour-coded combo meter that powers-up the character when a specific array of cards is used and many, many more. Players receive a deck of cards with a variety of abilities, which force them to pay attention at what does what, which combinations are the best, or suit their playstyle. ![]() Upon diving into the actual, turn-based arena, you are showered with possibilities. Even better? You get to pick amongst a few sets of starting cards, which enable choosing an even more specific way of playing, so, when it comes to the ninja heroine, for example, one can focus in gunplay that builds a dangerous overheat meter, or prefer the set that lets her inflict some radiation poisoning at her foes. The Kasumi rip-off, for instance, the typical ninja cutie of the team, is the aggressive fighter, while… err Curvy Healer #3067, or whatever her name is, summons creatures to support her in a variety of ways. Starting with the three ladies, each one focuses on a different combat style. Never mind the generic, "sexy-MMO gals" character design, or the extremely forgettable bestiary - there's actually lots of depth here. The most impressive thing about Neoverse is that it is quite the meaty package. This is just an excuse to pit players against monsters, robots, aliens, creatures of middle earth, Spartan soldiers (six-packs and all), vampires, and freaking Cthulhu, amongst others. In other words, don't bother reading about how humanity created a time-space incident that has created a dimensional salad, where all possible timelines and universes are bundled together. The scrolling text in the title screen does a better job at explaining things, but it also makes it clear that the story - and grammar - isn't the focus here. This small intermission is just there to show off the three sexy lasses available, as they hack, slash, shoot, blast, through lots of bad guys. Neoverse opens up with a chaotic introductory cut-scene that supposedly explains what is going on here. ![]()
