This is the fourth game in the XX89 series by Phr00t starting with 3079. This is an improvement on 3079 and 3089 that does the series justice. It keeps some of the good things that were in 4089 but get's rid of most of the bad from that game. Comparing to 3079 this game has better graphics, better weapons, better controls, and is overall way more polished. It doesn't have the character that the first game had. The first game I have lots of nostalgia for which means it is higher up than this game on my list even if this game is a better game. Compared to the two the game developer came a long way with his skills and knowledge of game design. Comparing to 3089 this game is the more refined older brother of the two. The gameplay is very similar but there are more mechanics in this game that makes it a lot less rinse and repeat than 3089. It's a refreshing take between the two and I would recommend this one over 3089 and 3079 (even though I love 3079 more). I had a good time playing this game until the final bit. I was somehow able to select multiple endings which then gave me some weird prompts that didn't make sense and then I was locked out of being able to see what happened. I tied to back my save up before getting to this point but didn't do it correctly because the same file isn't inside the normal game files. If you want to play this game I would strongly suggest taking your time with the endings and back up your save before the ending under "C:\users\*your user*\5089" so you don't make the same mistake as me and have to try to figure out how to restart the game but not loose all of your progress (I was able to get my character's stats into a new save). I enjoyed this game quite and bit and most of the bugs I ran into has an easy solution. I love 3079 better than this game because that was the first game in the series and it has the nostalgia factor but this game is the best out of the series so far.

I actually love this overlooked gem of a game. Sure, you can just grab the five nearest guns and start blasting, but once you take the time to study the weapon components, options, and utilities in depth, the game's possibilities just keep opening in myriad layers, which make it the best kind of RPG. Even before I have completed a first run with my blunt-force, knuckle-dragging, armed-to-the-teeth Schwartzenegger-core style, ideas for my more sophisticated, James Bond style stealthy, aircraft pilot, tech-savvy character come to mind. Either that or I go full Highlander and melee berserk on my enemies. The only criticism of this game is, that even if you love the 90's nostalgic look and feel of the game, Phroot, God bless his heart, and eyes, has a questionable grasp of aesthetics, so many may find the game hard to look at.
