Dex

Dex is a 2D side-scrolling action RPG set in Harbor Prime, a futuristic city shaped by powerful corporations. You play as Dex, who is being hunted by a mysterious organization and gets drawn into the city’s conflicts.

Explore connected districts, meet residents, and take on story and side quests. Encounters can involve direct combat, stealth, hacking, or dialogue, though some situations require fighting. Hacking shifts play into cyberspace, where you overcome hostile programs and security systems to access or disrupt technology.

Develop Dex by investing in skills and choosing equipment and cybernetic implants. These upgrades support different playstyles and can open new ways through the city. Quests and interactive dialogue offer choices in how you handle situations.

Players who enjoy Dex often praise its cyberpunk atmosphere and setting, along with its story, characters, and side quests. Reviews also highlight the visual style and music, and some appreciate being able to develop Dex for different approaches. These positives are frequently set against criticism of the combat and hacking minigame, which some players find clunky or frustrating.
