Fractured Core is an immersive JRPG that plunges players into a cyberpunk dystopia set in 2105 Germany and Italy, where neon-lit cities mask a gritty underworld of corporate greed. You lead Michael Jones, a skilled operative newly recruited by the elite Athena private military company, commanding a squad of up to three mercenaries on perilous missions. From covert abductions to containing biotech disasters, your choices unravel a web of conspiracies that could reshape a crumbling society.
The game’s heart lies in its strategic turn-based combat, blending classic JRPG mechanics with deep customization. Equip your team with an arsenal of weapons, armor, and mods, tailoring each member’s skills to wield six elemental psionic powers—Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Light, and Dark. Face diverse foes, from corporate enforcers to grotesque zombies and advanced mechs, all governed by the same rules as your squad, demanding tactical precision to exploit weaknesses. Psionic abilities, like buffs, debuffs, or stunning strikes, add layers of strategy.
Explore sprawling urban hubs and desolate slums, each rich with secrets, interactive NPCs, and hidden lore. Relationships with allies, from quirky Athena staff to powerful elites, shape the narrative through dialogue choices, offering 15-25 hours of story-driven gameplay with multiple endings. The pixel-art visuals, bursting with cyberpunk flair, pair with a meticulously crafted soundtrack to enhance immersion. While some demo feedback notes repetitive NPC dialogue or minor bugs, ongoing refinements promise polish. Fractured Core delivers a gripping, replayable adventure for JRPG fans, blending tactical combat, rich storytelling, and a vivid cyberpunk world.
