About this game

Recompile is an action-adventure platforming game with Metroidvania elements developed by UK-based Phigames, it’s a story taking place inside an ancient dying mainframe about a rogue AI program that’s refusing to be deleted. Explore and discover the mainframe’s many hidden secrets beneath its old surface, uncover the truth behind the mainframe’s purpose, and the hypervisor’s; fight, hack, and survive in this sprawling digital landscape, but be careful your actions have consequences the game has multiple endings based on your actions. Prepare for system-wide reconfiguration.

• Metroidvania: As you delve deeper into the depths of the ancient mainframe you will find a host of new traversal abilities, use it to get into places you could never get to before.
• The denizens of the Mainframe are strange and diverse, many of them are inherently hostile, use a full complement of weapons and abilities to defend yourself and survive.
• Hacking is an essential part of the game; many parts of the mainframe can be tampered with, nothing is hardcoded, everything is systemic and fully exploitable. Locked doors, forcefields, elevators, and many spawning systems can all be backdoored by hacking their logic gates even the inhabitants themselves are not safe their programming can be bent to your will.

Reviews

Slight niggles about missed power-ups and underutilized mechanics aside, I still very much enjoyed Recompile. It looks utterly gorgeous, has an oddly stirring soundtrack, and the core gameplay loop is simply fun to engage with.

The moment-to-moment gameplay is a blast and the visuals really are a sight to behold. However, unless you’re a super completionist, you may not want to stick around with Recompile much longer than taking a quick peek since the story, frustrating design choices, and disappointing boss fights can drag the experience down.
