Tartapolis v20.05.2023

Tartapolis is a bold fusion of open-world RPG exploration, Metroidvania–style progression and gunplay, set against the backdrop of a sprawling, neon-soaked city where two realities bleed together. You take on the role of Richard Bor, a hard-nosed detective whose once-quiet agency has become ground zero for a dark conspiracy. Alongside your partner Marla Cox, you’ll chase down leads, interrogate shady characters and piece together a mystery that threatens to consume every corner of the metropolis.

What really sets Tartapolis apart is its atmosphere. Rain-slicked alleys, flickering holograms and sentient machines give the city a restless, almost claustrophobic energy. At its heart lurks the HIVE, a tyrannical technocracy operating from the steel-and-glass fortress known as the Citadel. Through propaganda, covert police sweeps and mind-control technology, they’ve tightened their grip on every citizen’s consciousness. You’ll find yourself dodging patrol bots, hacking street signs and surviving brutal skirmishes in cramped backstreets as you push deeper toward the source of evil.

On the gameplay side, Tartapolis offers a surprisingly deep RPG system:
• Character customization and branching skill trees let you fine-tune your style—whether you prefer up-close brawling, precise sharpshooting or unleashing custom-built bots.
• An arsenal of upgradable firearms, attachments and experimental gadgets keeps combat fresh.
• The “liquid mixing” mechanic encourages creative experimentation with potions and performance-enhancing brews.
• Detective tools—UV scanners, cryptic data analyzers and more—turn every corner into a potential clue cache.

Progression feels rewarding. As you unlock new districts, secret passages and high-tech shortcuts, the city reveals hidden layers of story and challenge. NPCs remember your favors (or failures), and merchants adjust their wares accordingly. Missions range from gut-wrenching interrogations to all-out assaults on HIVE installations, culminating in a tense final push into the Citadel itself.

While Tartapolis occasionally struggles with uneven pacing and the city’s density can be overwhelming at first, its relentless style and narrative depth more than compensate. For fans of gritty, cyber-punk tinged RPGs who crave exploration, mystery and tight, gun-laden action, Tartapolis delivers a uniquely immersive ride into a high-tech world gone wrong.
