*Binary Domain* is a squad based *shooter* - a futuristic action game that
takes place in the Tokyo of 2080. Humanoid robots have been created that
believe they are human, and they have now infiltrated humanity, and must be
stopped. What this means is a cover based third person shooter set in robot
infested Tokyo. Binary Domain is frustrating because while it gets some
things very right, parts of the game are incredibly irritating an spoil the
experience. The basic gameplay feels quite good. Binary Domain has a
satisfying arcade feel to it, and the movement of your character and the
weaponry is excellent. When you're fighting a wave of oncoming robots, it can
be easy to forget the flaws of the game, as the shooting is good, and the
enemies react well to being shot. Shoot a robot's legs and it will drag
itself toward you, for example. The robots make fun enemies! Your teammates
are what really spoil Binary Domain. Their speach, while well acted, is often
nonsensical, and they often get in your line of sight. Unlike in Mass Effect
3, where a teammate will move if you want their cover, in Binary Domain you
will just have to go somewhere else. If you have a microphone, there are
voice commands, but this doesn't work great and feels like a gimmick. The
environment and robots look great - boss robots are especially impressive.
It's a shame that the game flows so badly - the artificial intelligence of
your teammates just isn't acceptable for a squad based game in 2012. *Buried
here is a good game that plays like it has been released far too
soon.*Download *Binary Domain* in Softonic
