Story
The game tells about the high-tech world of the future, where the world's population is divided into three classes of people (living in lower, upper and heavenly cities) and is controlled by a powerful supercomputer. All people are happy, they got a virtual world that completely replaces real life, in it they communicate with each other, do work and their hobbies, spend all their free time. However, this is only the appearance of an ideal society, which hides many problems of reality.
The protagonist of the game is a young hacker who, traveling through cyberspace, penetrates its secret part and intercepts secret data. The hacker copies the information, but immediately the police knock on his door with an insistent demand to open it. Having escaped from his own house, the hacker finds himself on the street, with which, in fact, the game begins.
A hacker will have to successively go through the lower, upper and heavenly cities and get to the closed space station, where the supercomputer is located. It is guarded by powerful defense systems, destroying which, the hacker will be able to disable it.
During the game, various players from three cities will enter the team.
Distinctive features
The game became the first tactical strategy with RPG elements after a long break. Among the features of the game are a high level of texts and sounding of characters, excellent musical accompaniment (performed by Alexander “Sensorica” Shukaev), interesting opponents. Also in the game there are many types of weapons: firearms, grenades, energy weapons, etc. The disadvantage of the game is its long downloads.
As a turn-based strategy , "Access Code: PARADISE" offers the so-called phase-by-phase game mode. The first phase is given to the player’s move: he can perform any actions, move, interact with objects, etc. The number of these actions depends on the points of the move. Accordingly, the more move points you have, the more actions you can take. The presence of progress points is determined by the character’s parameters and the state of his health. During the second phase, the opponents move. In the third phase, the move returns to the player, and he decides what to do in the current situation.
The game features a system for improving character settings. To do this, you need to gain experience points and increase the level of the protagonist. Experience points are allowed to be obtained when completing tasks and eliminating opponents. Also, improving the performance of a character is possible thanks to the acquisition of implants - special devices that make characters stronger, more accurate, quick-witted, etc.
