Description
Hard Reset is an action-packed, single-player shooter for the PC developed by Flying Wild Hog. it draws inspiration from cyberpunk innovators like Philip K. Dick, William Gibson, and Neal Stephenson. The game also got a free expansion in 2012 called Hard Reset: Exile.
In the only remaining human city of Bezoar, Major Fletcher, an Army Combat Veteran and soldier of the CLN, is dragged into a conflict between two of mankind's greatest enemies. He is to discover that nothing is what it seems to be.
Wield a CLN Modular Assault Rifle or an EEF-21 Plasma Rifle with unique firing modes that allow for grenade launching or railgun modules.
The game's combat is modeled on games like Unreal or Quake, so expect straightforward shooting and secret areas with hidden ammunition and health. But beware: environments will have dangers like exploding barrels and vending machines that shock you.
With over-the-top destruction, loads of enemies, great weapon variety and a beautifully realized cyberpunk setting, Hard Reset is sure to shake up the shooter scene.
