Markus and David are two troubleshooters and gang members of Central Ferusia, a large futuristic city where the slums are used by the government as prisons for lowlives and criminals, while the rich sectors are protected by the Ferusian Soldiers. Our two protagonists work for Jade, a former rebel, but during the last mission they meet Alexis, a Ferusian Captain on the run from the government. This is just the beginning of real troubles for the two friends.
Sore Losers is a cyberpunk adventure that includes puzzles and minigames. These activities are used for some sections like hacking, piloting and other tasks that nicely alternate with battles and exploration of abandoned slums. It's an enjoyable game with a nice variety and a good story. The setting is gritty and atmospheric, maps are compact and well done, there are many edited sprites and there is a good variety of enemies, from mutants critters to robots and soldiers. For the most part the game is linear, but there are a couple of choices that can lead to two possible endings for our two heroes, and one outcome is better than the other.
Random Fact: even if this is a complete game, it had a sequel that doesn't feature the two original protagonists and it's also a pretty different kind of game. It was called Sore Losers: Riot Grrrl, and a demo was released, but I'll talk about it another time, of course.
Final Verdict: if you like cyberpunk rpgs, this is a must play! A complete game with many interesting parts, I liked it. It was aestetically pleasing and the story was well written, and I do not mind that for the most part it was a linear experience, because it was pretty good!
