About

You’ll likely enjoy Appleseed Alpha if you want fast, action-heavy cyberpunk with impressive futuristic ruins; Not for you if you need a deeply original, well-developed story, as many reviews call it cliché or weak versus its visuals and mood.

Pros: striking cyberpunk visuals; engaging action; cool sci-fi world | Cons: uneven or weak plot; some odd tone choices; questionable character/dialogue depth
