Dishonored Torrent is an action game developed by Arkane Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. Dishonored unfolds in the metropolis of Dunwall, an urban setting reminiscent of Victorian London, serving as the capital of a nation styled after Victorian England. This realm is imbued with extraordinary, whale oil-driven technology, presenting an ambiance more akin to a science fiction penny dreadful than the all-encompassing steampunk genre. A devastating epidemic is rapidly spreading throughout the city, transforming onlookers into monstrous entities and turning rats into packs of carnivorous street piranhas.
Embarking on the role of Corvo Attano, the protector of the Empress, you find yourself back in Dunwall after seeking assistance for the city, only to witness the Empress’ murder in front of you. Accused of the crime, Corvo faces imminent execution but is rescued by loyalists to the Empress and her missing daughter. Their shared objective is to overthrow the oppressive regime that seized power in her absence. Additionally, an enigmatic deity grants Corvo magical abilities, demonstrating a keen interest in his quest for vengeance.
The gameplay unfolds in a first-person perspective, reminiscent of Deus Ex, yet distinct from a typical run-and-gun shooter. Corvo wields formidable combat skills with a sword, pistol, and crossbow, and his strength increases through equipment and power upgrades acquired by collecting treasure, runes, and charms. While formidable, Corvo is not impervious. Armed with ample ammunition and strategic preparation, players can confront guards and obliterate adversaries, but such an approach carries repercussions.
Corvo’s abilities and gear enable stealthy navigation along rooftops, short-distance teleportation, and the detection of guards through walls. This allows players to slip past enemies without detection and without resorting to lethal force. The game encourages exploration of areas, uncovering alternate routes with diverse hazards and fewer guards. Collaborating with Dunwall’s criminal underbelly by fulfilling favors provides access to paths otherwise inaccessible.
Choices in gameplay reverberate throughout the narrative. Each kill and every alerted guard contributes to the city’s escalating chaos, plunging it into darkness and intensifying the plague. The outcomes of missions, shaped by decisions to aid or eliminate certain characters, dictate the paths available. Although the game unfolds in discrete, interconnected zones for each mission, without an expansive open-world exploration, this approach heightens the narrative’s focus and richness. Players assume the role of assassins maneuvering through a city that views them as traitors, instilling a sense of purpose while allowing room for varied solutions.
Dishonored Torrent emerges as an exceptional game, blending elements of murder and stealth within a captivating narrative set in a vibrant world. While not as expansive, open-ended, or finely scripted as Deus Ex, it stands as a commendable spiritual successor to one of the premier PC games. It mirrors the relationship between Bioshock and System Shock 2, offering a compelling experience across different genres.
