The Technomancer Preview

The folks at RPGFan have published a preview of The Technomancer, SPIDERS’ Mars: War Logs spin-off for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, based on a hands-off demo they attended at E3. A short excerpt:

We saw a live, pre-alpha demo in which the hero is taking the final step toward becoming a full fledged technomancer. The prologue level is spacious and open, although I’m unsure how much there the player can actually explore. There are vantage points that show the player a large view of the area so that (the developers hope) players can plan out how they’ll take on each enemy encounter. In the demo, the protagonist mounted the edge of a cliff and looked down on various thugs below.

There are multiple ways to take on each enemy, catering to different play styles and character builds. Stealth is a viable option, for example, as is talking your way out of it. Of course you can simply fight your way to each quest goal as well, and the options extend to combat. There are three ways to fight, called stances. You can use a staff (area attacks), a knife and pistol (stab and retreat and shoot), and a mace and shield (tank). There are skill trees for each stance as well, plus one for technomancer abilities.
