Indie Intermission – ‘86856527’ Another Cyberpunked Adventure

As always cyberpunk is a prominent theme, which I feel is in part due to the awesome Sci-Fi mixtures you are able to use in the gameplay and the rather interestingly named 86856527 show how interesting this theme can be.

Created by Mighty Vision, 86856527 is a strategic turn based almost board game like game in which you must move around the virtual world destroying viruses and hacking terminals in order to obtain resources for future use.

It’s a rather interesting game and one that at first glance seems very confusing , however after a little bit of trial and error you quickly begin to grasp the ideas here and start to actually progress through the game.

The graphics are quite basic which actually give the game a rather great retro feel which I feel just work so well with the overall theme and design of the game creating a very pleasing game.

Average play time – 15 minutes

86856527 may not always be the most transparent game ever with some of the dynamics appearing rather confusing, but luckily the developer posted a little bit of an introduction to the mechanics in their site which helps so much.

86856527 can be downloaded via the official siteand is well worth a go if you are interested in the puzzle, strategy turn based cyber punky games.
