Showing results for "The War" in Cyberpunk

The magic flames are raging. Blades are melting. Souls are reduced to ashes in the fury of battle. The grand finale of the war for the First Temple is upon us.

Broken are the chains that hold the worlds together. The icy waters of the Baltic cool the scorching sands of the Frontier.

Engineered men and beasts, aided by Bees – an outlawed distributed intelligence – survived through co-operation, because there was simply no alternative.

The game didn't provide the experience many others had hoped for, though; for a large number of players, the game was "too real to be fun." For video game design majors Ryan Johnson and Noah Bowden, the game play was incredible.

Esiste una guerra silenziosa. Le armi sono invisibili, gli schieramenti fluidi e di difficile identificazione.
