Rough Justice: '84 is a single-player, 80s board-game-inspired strategy game with a big story unfolding in the background. As the owner of a private security agency, players attempt to bring some form of order to the ever-changing and evolving landscape of Seneca City. But behind the curtains, a much larger story is playing out, involving a secret organization with insidious designs that has the player in their crosshairs.
Players will hire, manage and deploy a team of security agents, bounty hunters, and repo agents. They advise their team on the best course of action through strategy, calculated decision-making, and a bit of luck. By successfully completing cases they increase reputation, unlock additional content, and delve deep into a story full of corruption and unspeakable evil.
Each agent has 5 stats with different values, ranging from 0 to 5. The value corresponds to the number of dice allocated when performing a stat roll.
Some cases offer diverse and immersive gameplay with genre and era-specific puzzles (read: mini-games). They are a mixture of cryptograms, digital and analog mechanics: reflex-based as well as mathematical challenges.
By using cards, stat values are temporarily increased for dice rolls. Gear Cards have a tier value which indicates the rarity of the card, as well as a durability factor, indicating the total amount of uses the card has before it is removed from the inventory.
To root out the cancer gnawing at the city, use all the power and resources available to you: from your agents and era-accurate surveillance technology to friends in high places.
But look out – behind the curtains of this struggle for justice, a much bigger story is playing out. A secret organization with grand ambitions spread its influence over Seneca City, and it has you in its crosshairs.
