Jack Move review - Jack in, jack out

In 1997, a natural disaster destroyed all technology on earth. This event caused governments to collapse, replaced by corporations bringing even more advanced tech back to the masses. Decades later, Noa Solares works as a freelance hacker along with her partner, Ryder. When her estranged father is suddenly kidnapped by MonoMind, the two take the fight to the corps to rescue Noa’s dad and free Bright Town from tyranny.

Jack Move is a cyberpunk RPG where you only have a single party member: you. As a huge fan of all things RPG and cyberpunk, this obviously had my attention. While it certainly has a few issues, I think the game accomplishes most of what it sets out to do. As Noa, you’ll explore several locations just outside of Bright Town like a scrap yard, the slums, and the upper class zone owned by MonoMind. The “dungeon” areas use random encounters, but you can customize the encounter rate however you like by pressing plus, even turning it off entirely.

Jack Move is a fantastic and bite-sized RPG with some incredibly interesting character building. The story feels too jam packed and tonally inconsistent, but it and the characters are enjoyable for what they are. While I’m not a fan of the art style, it does what it sets out to do for the most part and is accompanied by some excellent jams.

Score: 85/100
