Divide

Mechanics

The game is a variation of a science-fiction dungeon crawler, but is more story- and character-oriented that most games of the genre. During our playthroughs, the hero takes care of exploring, solving puzzles, finding various tips and documents, drawing conclusions and making decisions that influence the further course of the story. We are dealing with an action-adventure game – the game contains combat sequences, but they are not the flesh of the game, as our protagonist is weak and poorly armed, making him unable to face groups of guards in an open encounter – we’ll do much better if we’d sneaked behind their backs and took over the security systems in the area.

Technical Aspects

When it comes to mechanics, Divide is an attempt to create a modern revival of isometric action adventure games, connecting characteristic elements of the genre with modern graphics and gameplay style. In order to achieve that, the developers introduced a control scheme inspired by so called twin-stick shooters, resulting in a console-styled controls based on two analog sticks. The game contains an original soundtrack created by a seasoned composer, Chris Tilton.
