Dystopia

Dystopia is a cyberpunk game with tense combat situations in a high-tech world spanned by computer networks. Playing as either Punk mercenaries, or Corporate security forces, the player will fight through the physical world to gain access, via jack-in terminals, to cyberspace.

In short, Steam reviewers most often praise “Layered cyberspace and tactical combat” (18 of 96 reviews) and “Regular team-based online matches” (7); the most common complaint is “Declining or toxic player community” (25). What reviewers agree on ↓
