Critic Reviews for Corruption 2029
Corruption 2029 is a mechanically proficient but disappointingly hollow take on the XCOM genre.
The fact is, the gameplay in Corruption is fun, and I enjoyed playing it.
Overall, it's a great game for the budget price tag that scratches a tactical shooter itch if you've played XCOM 100 times over and fancy something new.
Corruption 2029 might be set in a bleak future, but the only thing that looks bleak is the hope for something that's an improvement over Mutant Year Zero. Bland characters, a lack of map environments and weaponry, a streamlined approach to the campaign, and a barebones story that doesn't feel connected to previous offerings all combine to make Corruption 2029 a surprising release indeed. It's a surprise, to be sure, and not a welcome one at that.
Corruption 2029 is a mix made of exploration in real time and turn based combat. It has some good ideas, but it is very repetitive due to the same maps and uninspired missions.

Corruption 2029 is a game that goes all-in on the tactical stealth formula and takes the players to a dystopian near-future of the second American Civil War. Fans of the genre will definitely have a lot to sink their teeth into, despite the game feeling like a glorified reskin that barely peeks from under XCOM's shadow.
