<p>One of the most popular settings for games is that of the dystopian future. For some reason, there's something so compelling about seeing the struggle to survive (or even thrive) in a dangerous world where a life has less value than that of a pack of cards. Such dystopian locales can range from a zombie apocalypse to one where nature has been destroyed by the greed of man. One fascinating Web3 game set in a dystopian world that will be launching soon is Off the Grid. This cyberpunk game shows some tremendous promise, and we're excited for it to come out. Prepare for a merciless world as we examine five reasons why we're looking forward to Off the Grid.</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KFxPX9tt2tA?si=S2bUN6fHVMzU9ab8" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>PvE Gameplay</strong></h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The first reason why we're looking forward to Off the Grid is the fact that there's PvE gameplay. The typical game mode for the third-person shooter is that of a 150-person battle royale. It's no secret that battle royale games have ruled the shooter roost for the last few years, and Off the Grid puts a lot of emphasis on this style of gameplay. However, the game does also boast of PvE action as well, which is a nice change of pace for players looking for something a little different. The developers call PvE missions Mirror Missions (such missions progress the game's narrative) and note that each mission will have three different possible outcomes that depend upon the decisions of the player and what side of the conflict they are on. Such Mirror Missions lead us to...</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SueV1fpWdpE?si=Hfljg6GoQdyLnBdp" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>Narrative Immersion</strong></h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Another reason why we're looking forward to Off the Grid is narrative immersion. The cyberpunk game promises players a 60-hour narrative campaign that will unfold over many missions. Storyline missions will feature cutscenes and various NPCs that will be crucial to the ongoing narrative. The game takes place on Teardrop Island, a tropical island that has been drained dry by corporate warfare. There's a lot more to Off the Grid than customizable weapons and finding out who the last team standing is. There's a reason why missions take place, and the developer is devoting a lot of effort into creating a compelling narrative. One component is that the game has the author of Altered Carbon, Richard K. Morgan, writing scripts for the game. Another vital component to the game's narrative is...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>Neill Blomkamp</strong></h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Renowned filmmaker Neill Blomkamp is part of the creative force behind <a href="https://funjible.games/games/off-the-grid">Off the Grid</a>. He serves as the chief visionary officer for the game. The fact that Off the Grid has the creative genius behind District 9, Chappie, and Elysium should have gamers panting with excitement. Blomkamp knows how to create a bleak dystopian world as well as crafting intense action scenes. His expertise in story and visual crafting should definitely shape the final product of the game for the better. One can expect to encounter situations where a moral choice, at the absolute best, may be a murky gray for players to choose. Plus, one should assume that actions will have consequences down the line, as is evident when seeing his movies. It's quite a boon to have a creative visionary like Neill Blomkamp being an integral part of the game's development.</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xT9NyEu4w_k?si=ceeSlm_BGtj719_B" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>Cyberlimbs</strong></h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Our next reason for looking forward to Off the Grid is the use of cyberlimbs. Few things scream cyberpunk more than having a person's arms or legs replaced by cybernetic limbs. The game promises more than 30 different cyberlimbs for players to use as they fight on Teardrop Island. What's interesting is how cyberlimbs can provide different abilities for players. As seen in the video above, we see one person using a cybernetic arm with a blade attached to attack an enemy. Another player uses his cybernetic legs to sprint at high speeds across the map, allowing him to get into a sniper position quickly. Plus, it's damn cool that players can lose their limbs in battle. Dr. Disrespect had his arm shot off in the video above and then had it replaced by another player summoning a drone. The use of cyberlimbs (and their various options) adds a ton of tactical choices for players to make in addition to the standard weapon modifications available in most shooters.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>Lush Visuals</strong></h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Our final reason for looking forward to Off the Grid is how beautiful the game looks. The game uses the Unreal Engine 5 to its full capability. The gameplay trailer above shows how stunning the battlefield looks, not to mention the players, their weapons, the cybernetic limbs, the vehicles, and the explosions and whizzing bullets that are part of an intense firefight. We got a look at an urban landscape along with a brief view of the tropical jungle setting, and both look amazing. From sheer visuals alone, Off the Grid is an AAA game. We can't wait to see how the battlefield looks when 150 people are going off the chain against each other. It'll look glorious.</p><p>As you can see, there are a number of reasons why we're excited for Off the Grid to launch. Playing in a highly-detailed setting with an immersive storyline, while figuring out which cyberlimbs to use, and enjoying both PvE and PvP gameplay is an impressive feat for this cyberpunk shooter to deliver. We can't wait.<br>&nbsp;</p>
