Combat System

One of Disjunction’s key features is the ability to play through levels how you want - whether it be using stealth and subterfuge, hectic gunplay, or a combination of the two. We were inspired by games like Deus Ex and Dishonored, where choosing how to deal with enemies is half the fun of navigating through a level.

As a baseline, each playable character in Disjunction has a melee attack (non-lethal), a ranged attack (lethal), and various abilities (non-lethal) to help them overcome whatever obstacles might lie before them. Through the course of a level, you can mix-and-match these capabilities to knock out or blow away your foes in whatever manner you see fit.



Depending on what kind of playstyle you prefer, your gameplay experience might be drastically different from someone with opposite sensibilities. For example, if you want to do a purely “pacifist” playthrough, you might stick to the shadows the entire game and never even fire your gun. On the other hand, if your interests lie in fast-paced shootouts, you might never experience the “stealth” aspects of this “stealth-action” game. It’s also possible that a balanced approach will work best for you, approaching each situation differently based on the circumstances at hand (how many enemies there are, how much ammo you have left, how long it's been since you activated an Uplink Node, etc.)



Of course, Disjunction is a game of choices. Most gameplay scenarios won’t be limited to considering “stealth” vs “gunplay” but will be more about overcoming whatever situation you find yourself in and the abilities you have at your disposal. For example, while playing as Frank, sometimes you’ll use your Smoke Grenade ability to conceal yourself from a pack of enemies as you sneak past them, while other times you’ll use Smoke Grenade to blind enemies before unloading your revolver into them. In the end, the choice is yours.
