action

The setting is a dystopian London after England left the EU . There is a dictatorship in power . Police and military force are used effectively against adversaries and drones keep things in order. The decline of the British pound and the rise of a cryptocurrency also caused economic problems. A hacker collective called Dedsec is now trying to oppose this rule. The aim of the game is to regain control of London.

Gameplay

The player can freely explore the city and take control of most of the people in the city. In this sense, there is no actual protagonist as the player can play multiple characters. If a character dies, it is no longer playable and the player has to fall back on the next best character on his team. Each character has its own skill tree , an individual daily routine and a background story. A new player is almost always added to the team by completing a mission. As soon as an NPC has been accepted into the team, the character can be divided into three classes (attacker, burglar and hacker). There should be a total of 5 storylines with about 60 missions and there is no lack of a co-op mode. The title can be played with up to 3 friends at the same time, which unlocks specific missions for this mode.
