'Ghost In The Shell: First Assault' Review: New Character To Join Section 9

After its original release as a movie adaptation twenty year ago, reviews from the "Ghost in the Shell: First Assault" Stand Alone Complex Online gained positive feedbacks from critics as well as gamers.

"First Assault" is a multiplayer game played in the universe of "Ghost in the Shell." It would allow their gamers to explore in depth of its shadow casted world.

Trusted Review claimed in its article: "It's a rather neat feature, in fairness, which results in two interesting aspect. First, the SkillSync system allows players to share abilities with other squad members when they're in close proximity. So if you're in the vicinity of Kusanagi, for example, you can use her thermoptic camouflage, turning you near-invisible for short bursts and making you harder to hit."

"Second, along with sharing their teammate's abilities, players are encouraged to stick together - lone wolves with no interest in teamwork need not apply as you won't have as much fun and will more than likely piss off your teammates."

To wrap up the site's first impression of the game, "It all really depends how hyped up you are to play a Ghost in the Shell game and whether you find the dark and rich world of the anime used mostly as a backdrop for a shooter. Speaking personally, I wanted to see what was outside those map walls. I wanted to be lost in Nihama Prefecture - think Blade Runner with ten times the amount of gadgets and you'll start to get the idea."

Moreover, according to PC Authority, a new character named Maven will be joining Section 9 of "Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: First Assault Online." The character was designed based on GITS animators Production IG and Kodansha. Its special ability includes the ability to erect a thermoptic barrier, which will be able to conceal everything in the other side.
