This is where some of the problems with the gameplay begin to rear their heads. However, you’re not exactly a force to be reckoned with, with most of the power belonging to your squad. There are auto-rifles, rapid-firing cannons, rocket launchers as well as healing darts, homing missiles and more. Though the Gravcycle can’t actually be used to slam into enemies to kill them (you go right through them) or slammed through boxes and other scenery (which explode with a single bullet), there are a few different types of weapons available.
You control your squad’s movement and abilities from the comfort of your floating Gravcycle, which can hover up to 50 feet in the air. Machinaĭisintegration’s gameplay is a mixture of the first-person shooter and real-time strategy genres. One of the few opportunities where a character building moment should happen and it wasn’t seized. No reflection on that friend, no sign that anything story-changing just took place. When you return to base, that very same character has nothing to say about what just happened. In one emotional beat of the story, a main character dies and another is clearly, extremely upset. There are glimmers of good writing here but ultimately it never really feels like the characters are actually experiencing the story. Some characters offer a bounty for the next mission and some give a little bit of insight into who they are. It’s here that players can run around the hangar, talking with the characters scattered throughout. After each mission, the crew returns to its base and prepares for the next objective. What really stands out as problematic is that there are disconnects between what’s happening in the story and what’s seen in the actual gameplay. The main storyline hits the expected beats of a revenge story, with most players likely to be a few steps ahead of what’s happening at any given moment. While the world and story is rich in its setup, it never really manages to break new ground. After breaking out of a floating prison, Romer joins forces with a motley crew of other robot-humans that want nothing more than to take down Black Shuck and his floating prison weapon. The leader of the Rayonne is Black Shuck, a constant threat throughout the story of Disintegration, and the antagonist of Romer Shoal, the main hero. These baddies are called the Rayonne, and if you couldn’t tell they were bad from their goals, the black armor and red eyes will help solidify that. However, there are those that wish ill on the remaining humans. Sure, there are some people that choose not to integrate, and that’s alright. Metal is stronger, faster, and sturdier than that soft tissue we used to inhabit. This process is known as integration.Ī lot of people dig their new skin. In order to survive, humans have been transplanting their brains into robotic shells. It’s the future, and humanity is in a different shape after countless apocalyptic-like events nearly wiped us out. With a meandering story, problems with controller support, and gameplay that feels more like it belongs in a game from early 2000 than a title releasing in 2020, Disintegration leaves much to be desired. Though Disintegration does seek new land, it never quite manages to get its feet on the ground. The game looks to blend two genres together to create something unique. Disintegration is the brainchild of V1 Interactive, a studio helmed by Marcus Lehto – one of the co-creators of Halo – and Mike Gutmann – co-founder of SOCOM: US Navy Seals.
