Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden Reviews
The solid combat system, interesting setting and great voice acting, merge into an appealing formula that the alchemists at The Bearded Ladies unexpectedly discovered while experimenting with various concoctions.
Mutant Year Zero sure is a great looking game with nice post-apocalyptic atmosphere. But way too often it suffers from lack of depth. Which is the main thing you would expect from a good tactical game.

A great game with issues that can mostly be solved with patches, Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden manages to deliver everything you could want from a turn-based strategy game, with great gameplay and a good story working as the basis for a game that challenges you with each turn in the best way possible.

If you want a good looking and challenging tactical game with a twist, as well as solid voice acting and an interesting story, then Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is a game that is going to scratch all of those itches. I was surprised by the high quality of the game, as well as by its addictive gameplay cycle. Will you visit that extra area on the north side in hopes of finding an artifact or two to unlock some extra boosts? Or perhaps you should call it a day and go back to the Ark to level up a weapon or two so that you can deal that extra point of damage that will make a world of difference? Choose wisely!
Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is a nice mixture of tactical turn based combat with good story and characters that made a valuable game. Various gameplay elements, deep combat system, unpredictable AI, special art style and atmosphere and beautiful music are the good aspects of Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden. But also there are issues like unbalance in combat system in some parts, weak level design, repetitive locations and unbalance between stealth and combat parts. If you are looking for a valuable tactical adventure game with deep combat system, Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden would be a good choice for you to try.

Nevertheless, unless you’re thoroughly sick to death of post-apocalyptia, you’ll find that Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is a charming, entertaining outing; one that gives the turn-based combat genre a much needed shot in the arm.
Occasionally, Road to Eden comes to life with fun, challenging combat and a smart implementation of stealth. But even so, the feeling quickly disappears as you remember that there's little to enjoy after you've won. The game often seems empty and dull, with under-utilized characters and clumsy pacing, and not enough overarching mechanics to keep you engaged in the long run.
Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is a charming, fun and well-made game with plenty of humor and excellent gameplay. It's an example of how you can expand on a tried-and-true formula in a way that makes it distinctive and exciting. The only thing that drags it down are some bugs and occasional difficulty spikes that feel more frustrating than fun. If you're a fan of XCOM-style games but want a new approach, you should absolutely try MYZ, which is one of the best surprises of the year.
Mutant: Year Zero is one of the better turn-based strategy games in recent memory. It has some shortcomings, but most of them can be overlooked in light of its strongest elements.
Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden provides an exciting take on the strategy RPG genre. Fans of X-COM or similar games shouldn't skip this one.
It is Interesting world of mutants with animal heads, but with unbalanced gameplay, not enough equipment and skills. And with bootless failings.

Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is an ambitious take on XCOM but it simply doesn't do enough with the established formula to make a worthwhile campaign.
While Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden has some growing pains to deal with, it’s still a satisfying tactical RPG.
I like so much of what Mutant is attempting to do. Dux and Bormin are delightful, adding stealth gameplay onto a tactics game is clever and works well before becoming played out, and there are so few tactics games to speak of that even one which is otherwise derivative provided a welcome excursion for a few hours. It's so frustrating that everything begins to fall apart right as the game comes into its own.
Mutant Year Zero: Road To Eden has tried to take a fresh and creative turn in the style of turn-based strategy games and the results have been fantastic. Although there are some minor issues with the gaming experience, clever gameplay and a well-crafted narrative of the game keep us going. What the future holds for this game and the experiences that The Bearded Ladies Studios have gained in the process is wait to be seen.

Road To Eden is a fantastic addition to the turn-based genre. A unique world with an unusual lineup of characters will capture your interest and keep you enjoying things until the very end. While the combat can get boring and repetitive, the story and other aspects of the game keep you engaged and prevent you getting sick of it too easily. This franchise has a very promising future.
It’s the perfect tactical RPG experience, for those who are looking for something that won’t consume weeks of their time. It’s a shame that the Switch port has arrived with many flaws.
In Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden, the interface is very clean and clear and clear what are the success rates of an attack and the related damage. The change of the weapon is very simple.

This is a game worth trying—just not on Switch.
Mutant Year Zero was an entertaining strategy game. While it has some issues, they don't take away from the experience the game provides.
