Capcom’s Pragmata rockets players into a lunar sci-fi thriller packed with hacking puzzles, a high-tech combat system, and a mysterious android that can pose a potential threat to our characters and you! Get ready for a bold new adventure that’s as brainy as it is explosive for all sci-fi lovers.
Strap in, sci-fi fans- Capcom’s Pragmata is finally coming in hot after radio silence, and based on our Gamescom preview, it’s not just another space shooter. It’s a cerebral, chaotic, and visually stunning moon-based adventure that’s ready to shake up the genre.
You play as Hugh, a no-nonsense crisis response soldier sent to investigate a lunar research station that’s gone eerily dark. But before you can say “Houston, we have a problem,” you’re rescued by Diana- a mysterious android with hacking powers and a personality that’s equal parts charming and enigmatic. Together, they delve into a world built on Lunam Ore, a miraculous mineral that can be refined into Lunafilament and transformed into virtually anything. Sounds like sci-fi gold, right? Well, it is.
Combat is where Pragmata truly shines. Hugh’s arsenal includes a regenerating pistol, a bubble gun that slows enemies (perfect for setting up hacks), and the devastating Shockwave shotgun. But the real twist? Diana’s hacking mini-games. These grid-based puzzles unfold in real time during combat, forcing you to think fast and act faster. Nail a hack, and enemies become vulnerable- plus you unlock juicy bonuses for Hugh. It’s a thrilling blend of brains and brawn that feels fresh in a genre often stuck in a monotony of dodge rolls.
Now, the story’s still a bit of a mystery. Hugh’s personality is, let’s say, minimal, and the dynamic between him and Diana leans into familiar tropes. But there’s potential here. If Capcom can flesh out the emotional stakes and give us more world-building (please, more lore!), Pragmata could be a sleeper hit.
Bottom line: Pragmata is shaping up to be a bold, brainy sci-fi shooter with a hacking twist and lunar intrigue. If you’re craving something different-something that makes you think while you blast-this might be your next obsession. The moon’s calling. Are you ready to answer?
