Cybermage is the least known among the titles of the legendary Origin Systems, the famous software house that we have the unquestionable success of series such as Last , Wing Commander and Crusader , but also at the forefront of many video games like System Shock, and Bioforge Shadowcaster . This game, at least at first glance, it might be mistaken for just another "shooter" in the first person along the lines of the legendary Doom , in fact, the involvement of the famous DWBradley: the game designer responsible for the best chapters of the Wizardry series, we arises instead as a successful blending of elements borrowed from the world of first-person shooter and the larger universe of role playing. Unfortunately, though it was objectively far from a bad product, sold very little at the time of publication, not because of the exorbitant hardware requirements for running it, in practice the mark Origin of manufacture of each production, but mainly because the proceedings too superficial elargitogli the press that he simply dismiss it as "just" a clone of that masterpiece of Id However, the game resumed from the sci-fi setting and expert cyberpunk, the plot is divided into a not too distant future, more precisely in 2044, focused on a world subjugated by the economic interests of powerful corporations speculative. The company is divided into two factions: the rebels who are strongly opposed to the "status quo" with frequent riots and the "hybrid" designed to assert the interests of these organizations. The fight is unfortunately learn because they are nothing but a kind of "cyborg" enhanced with the latest technology. In Cybermage impersonated an ordinary citizen who, during one of the many skirmishes and the cost of his own life, rescued a draw for these mysterious "beings" of biotechnology. The latter, perhaps impressed by our selfless gesture, he leads us lifeless in a secret laboratory where he later we undergo a mysterious surgery.
In our awakening we realize that we have a strange supernatural power mainly due to a mysterious "jewel" impiantataci in the middle of the forehead. Long before to realize what actually happened there seems to be also due to a strong amnesia, the laboratory is under attack forces NeCrom, the bad guy. Now we understand to be the reason for the hubbub. Once past the initial shock, we decided to get away without having the slightest idea of \u200b\u200bour identity and what the future holds. The gameplay, as above, is developed as a traditional "First Person Shooter" and therefore sees us through the articulated three-dimensional environment, in particular cities, streets, clubs, workshops, caves and foreste, facendo fuoco su tutti i nemici che osano ostacolarci. Durante le sparatorie possiamo ricorrere a diversi tipi di armi, come ad esempio: differenti tipi di phaser, missili, spade e persino dei misteriosi poteri sovrannaturali che per essere rimpinguati necessitano l'accumulo di energia. Le armi, così come le munizioni, i medi-kit, le armature ed i potenziamenti più disparati, devono essere raccolte lungo il corso dell'azione ma, al contrario degli altri FPS, possono anche essere acquistate in appositi negozi, a patto però di aver messo da parte un cospicuo gruzzolo di denaro. Per far cassa possiamo anche intraprendere diverse interessanti attività: il gioco d'azzardo, le scommesse clandestine e persino la donazione del nostro prezioso sangue! Oltre a sparare su tutto ciò che ci si para davanti, Cybermage ci permette di compiere una serie di azioni volte a farci superare tutti quegli ostacoli che, di volta in volta, ci ostruiranno il passaggio. In altre parole, non sarà raro dover andare a carponi, saltare, arrampicarsi, volare e persino nuotare. Come ogni buon gioco di ruolo che si rispetti, a mano a mano che progrediremo con la partita, svilupperemo anche tutte le nostre abilità psico/fisiche.
Ovviamente per poter accedere alle aree più inaccessibili utilizzeremo gli interruttori più improbabili ma saremo anche costretti a raccogliere differenti tipi di chiavi and magnetic cards. To manage objects, Cybermage, it offers easy inventory, mostly unrestricted, the components were not essential to the continuation of the mission will be automatically removed. In a few moments, we will be given the opportunity to pilot some means, such as: tanks and bizarre flying cars. During the course of the game, it will not be so rare to run into some people who will give us valuable information on the continuation of our mission. The game, of course, is not without flaws, not that he and many in truth. The first aspect concerns unpleasant, no doubt, the control interface that at best appears at least uncomfortable if not too cumbersome to this addition, then, even exaggerated the obscurity of certain passages. However, technically, was not so bad at the time of exit, the graphics overall were very defined, also because of the support to the standard "Super VGA". The three-dimensional environments presented themselves as rather complex and offered the "texture" definitely detailed. The fund offered sound of music and atmospheric sound effects / dialogue quite effective. I conclude simply by adding that, despite everything, Cybermage appeared at that time as a shooter for sure thick in some ways even innovative, had the merit of that earlier with the following ideas that would later be taken over by other legitimate exponents of the genre.
