We were lucky enough to get access to the technical beta test of Disintegration, a hectic new approach to the FPS genre!
In Earth’s near future, climate extremes, overpopulation, food shortages, and a global pandemic led to nations collapsing and humankind on the brink of extinction.
Scientists adopted a means in which the human brain was removed and surgically encased into a robotic armature; a process known as Integration. It was meant to be a temporary solution to an unavoidable crisis. It was a good thing for decades, allowing humans to survive. But some of the Integrated saw this new form as the future of humanity.
With no desire to reverse the process, the post-humanist Integrated stratified, calling themselves the Rayonne. Global war soon erupted, and Rayonne forces now seek to hunt down any remaining humans, forcing their integration, and destroying those who don’t share their views.
In Disintegration, you play an Integrated character named Romer. He’s one of many who rebelled and are now outlawed by the Rayonne. It’s up to you to lead a small group of these Outlaws, people who have chosen to fight back and survive, into a brighter future where we protect those they care about and hope to one day become human again.
The videos tell it all, this game is incredibly hectic and what this BETA test proved to me, is that a great tutorial gets you right in the mood to play as much as you can, even losing sleep over things…
Slowly but surely, the gaming mechanics are shown. Flying a vehicle while controlling your men and either survive or get as many kills as possible. The possibilities appear to be endless as well as hectic. The amount of action on a single screen was baffling considering the beta test status.
So as you are flying around, you command your troops to help attack enemies and perform basic tasks at points you can’t reach. I must say I was pleasantly surprised at how well organized the chaos appeared to be. Sure, it felt hectic the entire time, but your troops actually really listen even during the busiest of times.
Disintegration really gives us a sneak peek at a new look at a multiplayer from a different angle. You got vehicles, troops and so much more, yet it feels fresh. I can not wait to see what is up next once this game hits gold and I get to play it again!
I especially look forward to the campaign of the game, this beta only had the online multiplayer to play.
