Pragmata. Dystopian action on the moon

Pragmata is an action adventure game developed and published by ‘Capcom‘. Pragmata is said to be coming out 2024 on the Xbox Series X/S, PC and PS5. X35 Earthwalker enjoyed seeing all new IPs being made and released out there. Pragmata is out here trying to make big boom in the gaming world. With Pragmata, expect space, and hopefully a deep story. Let’s take a look.

Pragmata is set in “near-future dystopian world”… on the moon. Already Pragmata sounds unique. There’s two main characters here. A grown man in the chunkiest space suit armour. Gamers who like the chunky boy build will be happy. The other character is this little girl?… Is she human? What’s going on here. Her name is Diana. Space dude is protecting her and at times literally carrying her. These two make quite a strange combo. Make no mistake though. Diana isn’t some helpless useless ally. More on that later.

Remember that Pragmata is an action game. Sprint, run, thrust, clash and off course shoot your foes who are mechs and sci-fi threats. We have seen large foes try to crush you but speed and mobility is used to evade. Explosions are going off and dodging is required. so the action is definitely here and we want to see more.

We are glad to see that there is already some capitalisation concerning the setting. The whole being set on the moon also allows for some lovely environmental views. As you progress you also have opportunities to see the earth in the distance from where you are. Like a constant reminder. It’s a lovely view and effective. 

The other main part of Pragmata is the story. We keep hearing that Pragmata has a “deeply profound story and setting”. So clearly it’s a story for deeper thinking, mystery and of course the big reveal/twist. There should also be some emotional elements as well. Maybe some players will shed a tear at what will happen. We definitely have a good idea of what the story and direction is going to be. X35 Earthwalker is the smartest person in the world after all.

Remember Diana? What we said about her? Well she’s clearly special. It’s like she’s interacting with data and controls out of thin air. This alone should tell you about her. She is also capable in combat as the space dude asks for some help during combat. she can make some things happen and make you wonder what she is truly capable off. There’s mysteries here and Diana is the biggest visible one. 

We checked out some Pragmata gameplay and it’s pretty much what we expected. Multiple things reminds us of Vanquish. We wonder if Pragmata will match that level of speed and action. The thrust remind son that thrust ability in Halo 5 Guardians. We are seeing some good elements and mechanics here. We like the setting, we like the weapons, we like Diana even. We like the earth in the distance, we like the duo combo and more. We don’t like some of the robots as they look weak, not intimidating. We do like the weaponry though. We looking forward to more.

Overall Pragmata is looking like an excellent game. The whole moon setting and seeing earth in the distance alone is such a cool touch and impact to the game. Expect flashy moments, good combat and somewhat of a tag team system. This allows quite a lot of opportunities. Hopefully Capcom knows how to capitalise on it and take the game to a higher level. The game got delayed but sometimes that’s needed. Do what you got to do to make the game awesome. The developers Capcom have done an excellent job so far. We at X35 Earthwalker will keep an eye open for the game. Now Pragmata may have a deep story but it’s not impactful enough for… the ‘Earth Walk!’
