Binary Domain (バイナリー ドメイン) is a third person shooter developed by Ryu ga Gotoku Studio and published by Sega for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 . It is developed by the team responsible for the Yakuza series and was released in February 2012.
Binary Domain received favourable reviews but did not sell well in the West due to almost total lack of advertisement. Many players stated that they did not know the game existed until it was released. The PC version was criticized for its awkward controls mapping, though the controls were improved with a patch.
Gameplay
Binary Domain is a third-person cover based shooter, in which the player (Dan) and other members of the Rust Team combat deadly robots ("scrap-heads"). It is similar to the 2006 Xbox 360 game, Gears of War which is credited with popularising this genre in the console space.
Much of the game is based around a "trust" system, in which characters gain or lose trust in Dan depending on his actions. Destroying scrap-heads or responding correctly to conversations increases this trust, while failing to act, saying the wrong things or shooting team members lowers trust. Levels of trust can also effect the ending.
In addition to controlling Dan, the player can communicate with other team members and issue orders through the use of a microphone. If a microphone isn't detected, a reduced set of phrases can be selected through a menu. If a team member's trust in the player is too low, he/she may decide not to obey orders.
