You step into the shoes of American ex-Special Forces soldier Dan Marshall, who is now part of an international crew known as a Rust Team. The world comes to know them as “hollow children,” and despite a global ban on their development, more and more of these robots are being discovered.
These robots are perfect human replicas, down to their memories-they themselves even think they are human. The rest of the world is content to leave the Japanese be, until a new breed of robots are discovered. That bred a new robotic culture around the world.įollowing the floods, a devastated Japan became completely isolated and self-sufficient. The population was nowhere near what it was, so many nations turned to robotic labor to help take the jobs that humans couldn’t. But once the waters subsided, the rebuilding began. The oceans rose, cities floods, dogs and cats were living together.
In the future, no one can hear you rebootīinary Domain takes place in 2080, years after environmentalists worldwide have wept bitter tears following the melting of the polar ice caps. That doesn’t excuse the failings of Binary Domain, but it does justify the time you will spend playing it. The look of a futuristic and isolated Tokyo is impressive and sometimes even jaw-dropping, and the robotic enemies are better than you might first suspect. There are still some major flaws both in the design and the technical side of things, but the overall presentation is actually very, very good. Binary Domain is a game that is better than it has any right to be judging by the promo art. I am glad to say that I was proven wrong, for the most part. Throw in Sega’s recent track record of publishing me-tacular, and color me skeptical. Even the name felt slightly uninspired, and the generic cover art of “hero guy” shooting at something while screaming wasn’t going to make it to poster size to adorn too many walls. I had seen the game in various stages of development, and it looked alright but was fairly unremarkable in the bits and pieces that were displayed. I have to admit, I wasn’t sure what to expect from Sega and Yakuza Studios’ Binary Domain.
