GAME SUMMARY

Restricted Area

Rating: 3.4 (137 votes cast)

Restricted Area is an action-packed cyber-punk RPG set in the year 2083.
As an outlaw for hire, you’ll be sent into dangerous restricted areas set in a dark and fascinating future world.

Restricted Area is an incredible combination of action gaming and deep role-playing. Four very different people meet as they're trying to change their lives. Choose one of these four to play -- and enter their dystopian world for a complex, twisting story that involves a dark secret and a very large corporation. The advanced AI uses group tactics to react to your character's visible strength, the weapon in their hands and more -- you'll have to think to survive Cooperative Multiplayer mode

  • A complex role-playing system: each character has access to both a standard and unique skills set, dependent upon which character is selected. 75 skills with 10 levels (750 skill levels in all)
  • All characters have access to a vast array of combat weapons, and can also boost their abilities with selected Cyberware and Bioware upgrades as the game progresses
  • Dynamic dialogues between the character and NPCs adapt to the situation and to the player's actions and responses.
  • A dark and fascinating future world similar to the worlds in The Matrix and Bladerunner
  • NPCs and characters develop relationships over the course of the game which continues to change based on the players
  • Advanced combat system for fast-paced action. Switch between weapons during combatwithout entering your inventory. The environment affects combat: (light, shadow distance, height level, weather and movement will affect your chances of hitting the target)
  • Play as one of four unique characters, each with different and specialized skills
    responses and actions
  • Unlimited computer generated sub-quests and levels make playing each game a unique experience
  • Cooperative Multiplayer mode allows 2 players to team up and play together

Restricted Area review

By sacrock posted 3rd April

Great little cyberpunk setting clone of an action RPG! It is an older game which I am using under Win XP. Have not tried Win 7 with this. Graphics are pretty and has a good story line. It does get repetitive after a while, and I am not used to monsters dropping cybernetic limbs, as opposed to swords, shields, and armor as in Diablo. If you like a future setting, this title will keep you busy for a while.

this is a very good "diablo-like" in a cyberpunk setting.

It sports nice and clean prerendered graphics, with dynamic shadows and colored lights, and a very moody soundtrack, available as ogg files in the game folder too.

The interface is clean and easy to master even without bothering with a tutorial, you can assign an action to your left\mid\right mouse button on the fly and easily switch between weapons while fighting.

Enemies are the usual cliché of stupid mutants, but they come in packs and while the game is quite easy on normal there's also an harder mode and an awesome "realistic" mode that has permadeath (if you die, your character is lost forever!).

Last but not least the game supports co-op multiplayer! If you like the genre and this cyberpunk setting, for this low price you can't go wrong

Diablo style game with a futuristic setting. It's futuristic elements (e.g. cybernetic implants for the characters) set it apart from the medieval setting of most other action advernture games, however the execution lacks polish and the result is just a mediocre game

A top down isometric view shooter, with good graphics, very good sound effects, an surprisingly good feel of being there shooting enemies. There is a backstory and a world which resembles a bit of Blade Runner. The game is basically a more structured Diablo clone, set in the near future. The game has its own uniqueness in parts and it doesn't get boring if you like this type of games. If you like Diablo and wanted a shotgun, this is it.

Not a bad futuristic Diablo clone. It lacks variety in its exploration areas as in it all tends to look the same. Often the game will crash when I try to exit to desktop. The character levelling is quite good as is the variety of augs and equipment available. For less than £3 I can't really complain it has entertained me for a few hours.

This is a great little RPG type Hack and slash, but ti was developed primarily for win XP using a very old codec. If you have problems you'll get an email from their support like this.

Sorry, but after 7 years we cannot offer support for Restricted Area anymore.

Aside from some bad animation here and there, this game is pretty great and I actually prefer it to Torchlight as an ARPG.

The setting is very cool and I really enjoyed exploring the ruins and what not.

Abilities and skill tress are good with some nice classes to choose from.

All in all, it's not bad for $3 and you should more than get your money's worth.

If you are into Shadowrun then you will enjoy this game. It is Shadowrun without some elements. You still choose missions for "the man" and you get to upgrade yourself and your gear with tech and tech wears out so you have to upgrade/repair/replace it. Missions get harder and you can "hack" as a player if you choose the character that has the ability, but the "hacking" is interesting. You run around "inside of the computer" and grab files for later and you can fight in this environment but on a limited scale. Outside you run around and shoot thing that you could find a Shadow Run world. The only issue I have found with this game is it does not run nice on windows 7 pro or XP instead you need to have windows 98 or windows millennium. Even though it says windows Vista compatible it works but will crash constantly on you. For the short time I was able to play it on my win 7 machine i enjoyed it brought back memories when it first came out. Though, the game play gets a little stale even with the story line. Since it's like a Diablo game play style in a Shadow Run themed environment.

I tried has much as I could to enjoy this game and truly wished I could but...nope! The steampunk-like setting (and the low price tag) made me get this title. Gameplay is reminiscent of games like "Alien Shooter" or "Crimsonland". The thing is I would of had enjoyed it more if it maintained the same control scheme but instead, it plays more like the standard "hack n' slash" click on the enemy to shoot it. Difficulty is unbalanced with underpowered minions and overpowered bosses. Music is not the best and graphics are ho-hum. But to be honest, what made me abandon the idea of completing the story was a game breaking bug related to my saved game...I really hate it when a game decides to save at the same exact moment I die. Loading then made me repeat the process of dying...forever. I would of had loaded another game IF there where more than one save slot but nope...one per character is what you'll get. I should have spent my money elsewhere.

The first half hour of this game was the best part and I thought I was going to like it. However, after that it just got boring. It also leaves you with a feeling that it is an unfinished game. I stopped playing after a few hours and have not gone back to it. I thought I would like this game as I am a huge cyberpunk fan, but no luck with this one. When it goes down to a $1 then check it out.

a diablo clone with a cyberpunk theme, worth picking up if you have an interest in anything cyberpunk, sigh WE NEED MORE CYBERPUNK GAMES!!!

I played many games of this type and for this game can only say that if you look at its price you can have fun while waiting for another game to come !

The combination of the atmosphere of the game music and graphics not bad but could be better if you do not want some perfection, and if you want to lose the time this is perfect for that !

For me the interesting story and characters and the way your character develops in the game

it is my opinion but I hope to read your !

That's all you buy and play and of course enjoy the game while you play!

For the price not bad at all. Some weapons (notably flamethrowers) are vastly overpowered, and most enemies are vastly underpowered. Missions/enemies are fairly repetitive and a few controls are a little akward, but it is fun if you like games in which you walk around easily killing lots of enemies. Plus it has the added bonus of frequently allowing you to swap your arms, legs, eyes, heart and other body parts on and off, right there on the battlefield.

A Diablo-ish Hack n' Slash RPG set in Cyberpunk theme. There are 4 characters to play as, and they vastly change the gameplay, so does their wide variety on skills. Some characters use guns but they aren't as fun as other Quarter-View Shooters like Alien Shooter. Items seemed quite random, specially you see Augmentations(Cybernetic Arms, Legs, Eyes, Hearts, etc) pop and drop on grounds. Overall, Cyberpunk is rare theme for games nowadays(I think) and it worth a shot if you like that theme, or you don't really have games to play. else, pass.

For the price, not a terrible game. It's gameplay and graphics are pretty old-school by the book Diablo clone, but the fact that it's set in a cyberpunk world makes it worth a play-through if you like a cyberpunk setting.

The combat is simple and the enemies are repetitive... also item drops seem to be somewhat random (a bunch of luddites out in the desert were dropping cybernetic parts), but the character customization, especially with the cybernetic parts is an interesting twist.

If you're bored and want a simple, cheap action-RPG that offers a setting other than the typical sword & sorcery type setting, give this a shot. Otherwise, pass.

I could only face around 20 minutes of this game. The first combat area I went to spilled hordes of two types of enemies, which seemed almost incapable of injuring my character. It has all the features that one would expect from a diablo clone but doesn't really do anything well.
