A cyberpunk action-RPG and sequel to the 2013 Mars: War Logs. The title was created by Spiders, an experienced developer, whose other works include Bound by Flame, Of Orcs and Men, and Faery: Legends of Avalon. The game takes us back to the universe known from the previous game, where technology and magic coexist, and rivaling factions fight over water supplies.
The Technomancer is a cyberpunk action RPG, and a follow-up to Mars: War Logs from 2013. The game, originally known as Mars: Paradise Lost, was developed by studio Spiders, the creator of Bound by Flame, Of Orcs and Men and Faery: Legends of Avalon.
Story
The story takes us back to the cyberpunk universe known from the previous production where technology intersects with magic and warring factions are fighting for access to the most valuable of resources – water. The titular Technomancers are genetically modified warriors with enormous political influence, who are also the guardians of ancient knowledge. In combat they combine cutting edge technology with the supernatural power acquired through mutation, the source of which lies in the wisdom of their ancestors. All of this makes them look like demi-gods in the eyes of the community, but due to the common dislike towards mutants their presence may sometimes cause unexpected events.
Gameplay
The player assumes the role of one of the young and inexperienced Technomancers whose mission is to find and protect powerful artifacts from Earth, as they are the source of extremely valuable knowledge and technology. The game enables us to side with one of the six available factions. Each of them has their strengths and weaknesses, which influence the gameplay and the way we perform particular tasks. Choices made while playing will affect the ending of the story.
In accordance with the authors’ plan, the game mechanics are very similar to what we could see in Mars: War Logs, using a range of typical RPG elements such as character development system, NPCs joining our team, and an extensive crafting system. The gameplay, however, has been modified and expanded, especially in the aspects that received the most criticism from the players. One of the most important changes is the complexity of story-related tasks, which have become much more extensive and enriched with multiple secondary threads.

The Technomancer Review – Spiders studio gather momentum
Spiders studio are pretty experienced with RPGs, but they aren’t really adept at them... Or at least that was the case until now – The Technomancer seems to indicate that soon, practice will make the creators of Mars: War Logs and Bound by Flame perfect.

Wccftech: 7.2 / 10 by Alessio Palumbo
The Technomancer is a well made action-RPG and the best title released by Spiders so far, thanks to the additional polish and increased size of the game's content. Just don't expect to be able to explore a massive world like those in Fallout 4 or The Witcher 3 or you may be disappointed.
Gaming Nexus: 3.5 / 10 by Aidan Kelly
In fairness to The Technomancer it is consistent and by that I mean consistently disappointing.The Technomancer ticks all the boxes of a AAA game, but lacks the polish of its peers and does little to stand out as an RPG. Yes, at times the game can really shine. Mainly when you're admiring scenery from afar. This is the part that annoyed me the most. Obviously time was spent to make the game pretty, but at what cost? The writing is predictable and cringe worthy and the combat is boring and dry. Somewhere beneath its surface lies a polished game. Its unfortunate the flaws are so deeply ingrained within the game that they cannot be ignored and it breaks the immersion.
COGconnected: 55 / 100 by Shawn Petraschuk
The Technomancer isn’t necessarily a bad game, it just isn’t a good one.
