As a game, Dex’s progression mechanics and choose-your-own-adventure style of exploration and story-telling make it an interesting and worthwhile diversion. The main story doesn’t achieve the greatest of heights, and the different possible endings are a little lackluster, but there’s enough substance in the journals, emails, and character interactions to push you all the way through. The combat could stand to be a little more engaging; as it is, it feels more like just a means to an end, but the shoot-’em-up like hacking mazes add satisfying, albeit challenging, depth. Greater accessibility options would have been a nice addition to the Switch port of this 2015 PC title, but it does enough to justify a space on your digital shelf if you’re a fan of 2D narrative-heavy action games or future-noir RPGs. Just don’t expect it to hold your cybernetic hand.

Great game.

It doesn't cost you anything.
Can you ask then whats up with another one? I enjoyed the hell out of the first 1. Beat it twice. Got the ps4 physical copy imported to the us from Europe
He wants to do another one, but that was a big project for him and it barely broke even.
I'm not saying there won't be one, and don't want to speak for him, but that started as a Kickstarter and that was only enough to get the first build of the game on Steam. He had a hard time finishing it and bringing it to other markets.
He basically works alone, and hires freelance just to do menial stuff here and there.
Used to have this on ps4 its a neat steam punk style adventure Il add it on gog
Dex is a 2D action-RPG set in a cyberpunk world with gameplay elements similar to Deus Ex and Geometry Wars.
Rocket Chainsaw: The story and characters are interesting, while the atmosphere and world is fantastic, but the combat and hacking hurt the experience.
