Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden

Bringing home the bacon.

Stalk the Zone in a tactics game that adds new mutations to the XCOM-like.

Its handcrafted levels and real-time exploration segments encourage me to be even more thorough in future runs, and I couldn't help but fall in love with the interesting yet underexposed world of Mutant. There are tons of intriguing but obscure worlds like that of Mutant that are ripe with potential when it comes to video game adaptations, and I'd love to see more get the same treatment that Mutan...

Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden provides an exciting take on the strategy RPG genre. Fans of X-COM or similar games shouldn't skip this one.

Mutant Year Zero does have a few rough edges, though. The game’s suitably pretty and the main character voice acting is on point, but the voices of the ghouls, all fed through the same electronic filter, do start to grate. You have the freedom to explore and revisit multiple locations, but in order to get a foothold and to give your characters a fighting chance, you’ll need to grind a little. Also...

Mutant Year Zero seems like the natural evolution for tactics games. The real-time aspects make things move faster and add a unique layer of tension. On the story end of things, it manages to keep you interested until the linear campaign finishes up.

A promising twist on turn-based strategy games, Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is more than the sum of its parts. The addition of stealth and ambush mechanics to the familiar turn-based strategy formula, forces the player to think about their approach to combat in a new way. This "Tactical Adventure" is definitely worth the journey.

Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is a competent albeit narratively underwhelming tactical RPG with novel stealth mechanics and solid turn-based combat.

You know you’re about to be thrown in at the deep end when a game asks you to pick between the difficulty options of Normal, Hard, Very Hard, and a permadeath toggle for all three. Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is a brutally tough experience that will contuinally pull the rug out from under your feet even when you feel like you’ve got a good understanding of its mechanics, and it’s this dynamic t...
