What people are saying
Most players enjoy this cyberpunk JRPG, but some cite tedium and missing features.
Many players praise the game's pixel art, music, and classic JRPG feel. One calls it a 'charming little RPG' with solid turn-based combat, while another says it 'remind me to classic jrpg in GBA, PS1 era'. [1][7]
However, some players criticize the lack of controller and mouse support, as well as grammatical errors and tedium. One notes 'absolutely no mouse support' and another says it was 'undone by tedium and too many things that just didn't work for me'. [14][13]

16 of 16 · most liked firstA charming little RPG. Pretty good if you like chunky RPG stats, upgrading equipment and improving them through mods and such. Mostly solid turn based combat gameplay, with the caveat that it can feel a little unbalanced at times. It feels as if certain characters are just blatantly better than others, but since you're never locked out of using any party member, it doesn't really matter. I really only have two complaints: 1. There's a fair amount of pointless backtracking in certain…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →✍️Overview Fractured Core is an ambitious Cyberpunk-inspired JRPG, especially since this is the first game made by this new indie game developer. Unlike the typical RPGMaker products, this game is developed via Godot engine, which shows how much does this developer plan to invest in their pioneer title. 🖼️Graphics When you start the game, you are immediately dropped into a Pixelated typical cyberpunk city environment, countless of skyscrapers, neon lights, floating signs, floating modern…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Amazing music and an interesting character grid ability system. You can specialize a character with one type of magic for increased damage, only give few spells so spells cost half per use, or overclock and give them a wide variety of spells but at twice the spell cost. (Maybe other combinations later in the game) Story looks pretty interesting but I'm still near the beginning. Combat has a viewable turn order and a stun mechanic, pretty simple but enjoyable. Although I said it already the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Having fun so far, it'd be better if there's auto forward on conversation even though there's no voice-over yet, it just feels right. Battle is quite simple, you attack, you stun, you usually win the game easy after stunning. And I'm okay with that, most of the times, simpler is better. Items are abundant, but you won't need it on the start since you'll level up and the characters fully-recovered. There are some bugs, but it's just funny, not gamebreaking, like civilians suddenly appeared…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A JRPG using a cyberpunk setting, that is set in European countries (which is quite unusual when you think of cyberpunk, not many other games done that)? A JRPG that has mechanics that go beyond the regular formula? With great pixel art that stands out from other indie games? And with a good story on top of that all? If you're into Deus Ex/conspiracy theories, you can expect that (and even more). The answer is yes. Good game, enjoyed every minute of it, worth the full price.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A Cyberpunk game? Turn-based corpo destruction? Sign me the F up! We're live with a brand new game called Fractured Core, a turn based cyberpunk game to take down corporations! Come on by and check it out with me! Thank you @join-indie-io.bsky.social for the key on Lurkit! twitch.tv/adobeard
unlabelledView post →Hard to say no to this game because I can tell it was born from a real love for classic JRPGs, but it was undone by tedium and too many things that just didn't work for me. First thing I noticed: the game is plagued with constant grammatical errors, way too many to list here. I found it sort of endearing and nostalgic at first, but it gets pretty distracting down the road. Exploration is not a great experience. In sprawling areas with roads and tall plants and such, you're limited to walking…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you love turn based games and you’ve got a soft spot for pixel art, you’ll probably have a good time with this one. I'm in Chapter 1 and the whole vibe already screams cyberpunk! the graphics look awesome for a pixel art style, plus the soundtrack slaps!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolutely no mouse support. The default control scheme is painful and off-putting. There is no tutorial to teach you the key-bindings. When there are thousands of other games that can get this basic feature right, it's hard for me to justify spending time on this. The graphics, writing, and sound are enjoyable, however. If some QoL features are added, I will buy the game again.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →just finish first chapter and it's kinda remind me to classic jrpg in GBA, PS1 era. Recommended.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →no controller support at this time. game doesnt tell you certain details like button layout. go to community hub if you dont know what to do.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →- So fun to play, rating 98/100
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A cyberpunk/sci-fi JRPG Set in Germany With catgirl NPCs Stylish sprites And CURRYWURST as a stat boost item Look, it might not be perfect and might have some typos, but it really scratches an itch that very few other games did so far. I will update my review when I finish the game (just in the middle of Chapter 1 so far), but darnit, I wish I learned of this sooner and wanted to contribute to give this game a little bit more visibility with a positive review! First time I see the word…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Decent Cyberpunk JRPG based on what I've seen so far. Although, I haven't completed the game yet. I'll update this review once I get around to finishing this game.
