Totally ridiculous facts about E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy

Recommended Videos

E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy released very recently and I’ve been playing it for review. Unfortunately, the game is so deep, and its progression so random, that it might take me a while before I feel I’ve played enough to truly slap a score on the thing. 

However, the game can’t not be talked about, so I thought I’d tantalize you with a few facts about what is the weirdest, most confusing first-person-shooter I’ve ever seen. If you have a PC and a lot of time on your hands, this is one game you need to experience. Here are some examples why.

  • Hacking is a turn-based JRPG-style combat simulator within a menu subscreen. If you fail a hack, your intended victim will upload a virus to your own body and screw with your character. In other words, I once tried to hack a door, and the door hacked back
  • Your character has a stat governing his mental health. This determines the likelihood of him suffering various mental issues, such as paranoia and madness. Once, my character became too “terrified” to use his gun. 
  • The game boasts thirty-two-player co-op and it’s as ludicrous as it sounds. 
  • Various special abilities include the power to clone yourself and the power to teleport inside the body of an enemy, thus making him explode. With a range of psychic abilities, physical upgrades, and huge weapons, you have the potential to become God-like and the flexibility to become a psychic powerhouse, gun-toting war machine, hacking expert or stealthy prince.
  • E.Y.E is basically like Deus Ex would have been if Eidos had spent its time licking toads and drinking Red Bull.
  • Reloading before you’ve totally emptied a clip wastes whatever bullets remain, just like real-life. It’s a small change to the way we usually play shooters, but it has a huge impact on the game. 
  • It’s full of delightfully charming broken English. This is typified on the posters that litter the environment, almost all of which feature women with very little clothing and big guns … for no good reason
  • Ladies in white cocktail dresses sometimes appear with gigantic machine guns that rip you apart. I have not yet worked out why. 
  • This game is FUCKING INSANE and these facts only scratch the surface.
