Gaming's most unlikable protagonists are back. Yes, Hana, Rain, Deke, and Glas have returned from an extended hiatus to wreak havoc and steal stuff in their own inimitable way. Lock and load folks because, some 17 years later, Fear Effect is back.
Fear Effect was an odd beast that landed on the PS1 in a post-Matrix world of cyberpunk, neo-noir, and digital terrorism. Although remembered with kind nostalgia, the reality remains that 1999's Fear Effect and its 2001 sequel, Retro Helix, had some serious issues. Put away your pitchforks. While the games had an interesting world, intriguing stories, and unique stylistic decisions, these were betrayed by abominable combat, bad controls, lengthy load-times, and blurry, sometimes indiscernible visuals.
Still, good ideas are always worth revisiting, and indie-outfit Sushee has done just that. Stripping away everything about Fear Effect's mechanics, keeping only its characters, atmosphere, and gritty, neon-soaked settings, Sushee has reinvented the series as a tactical strategy title, hoping to deliver the same aesthetic experience as before, but with superior gameplay.
