Madness Project Nexus

Madness Project Nexus mixes ranged shooting with melee hacking rather than favoring one over the other, and switching between the two mid-fight, shooting a distant threat before an enemy closes in, then hacking through them at close range, matters more than mastering either style alone.

Because ammo runs out and melee doesn't, saving bullets for enemies that are dangerous at range and closing the gap on weaker ones to finish them by hand tends to stretch a loadout further across a mission. Recruited agents from the opening jailbreak sequence carry real weight into later missions, so prioritizing their survival during that stretch pays off well beyond the mission it happens in. Madness Accelerant covers the same stick-figure universe in shorter, more replayable combat rounds.
