Dysmantle

Mechanics

In Dysmantle, the action is shown in isometric view. The main element of the game is the title "dismantling"; the hero can destroy the vast majority of objects found in the game world, thus acquiring valuable materials such as plastic, rubber or metal. After finding a suitable blueprint, the acquired resources enable him to craft useful items, tools, clothes and armament (melee and ranged weapons, as well as various traps) and improvements to his existing equipment.

Properly equipped, the protagonist can continue to venture into the wilderness full of dangers, eliminating the enemies (whose organs can also be used as a crafting material), as well as erect outposts, sealing his presence in a given area. The presence of mysterious ruins, which we can enter after solving the puzzles guarding them, also encourages us to explore it. These places can be a source of technological achievements from the past era (providing an advantage over the inhospitable environment) or unique materials with almost magical properties (which in turn are used to craft powerful equipment).

It is worth noting that nothing stands in the way of transforming our base into a post-pocalyptic farm, where our guest grows plants or keeps tame animals; fish can also be a source of food. Although food is not a necessary condition for survival (the hero cannot die of hunger), preparing various dishes based on the acquired recipes provides the protagonist with permanent bonuses for statistics and skills. Moreover, in return for his activities, the protagonist gains experience, thanks to which he can face more and more challenges over time.

Technical aspects

Dysmantle is based on the technology that drives the previous work from 10tons, Tesla vs Lovecraft. The visuals of this production can be liked due to the colorful, cartoonish style, which efficiently masks visual deficiencies.
