What it is
Planet Alcatraz is a role-playing game developed by 1C Company and published by Fulqrum Publishing. Released on Steam for Windows in 2014, it uses an isometric view and combines real-time combat with a non-linear adventure. The setting is a prison planet populated by criminals sent there for life. The player begins with a one-person sabotage group and grows that team while pursuing its mission, using resources and different approaches along the way. Character creation lets players adjust basic traits and appearance, including facial animation. Dialogue choices shape how the player behaves and communicates with the people encountered. The game describes a large cast of characters involved in dialogue, as well as numerous monsters and more than 100 kinds of melee weapons and firearms. Battles and adventures allow for different behavioral and combat options. Its Steam features include single-player, trading cards, Steam Cloud, and Family Sharing, making this a solo-focused RPG rather than a multiplayer game.
