Dex is FANTASTIC. Other games like this one?

I was reluctant to buy it from the description, ended up doing it. I am completely flabbergasted, fantastic game, I thought the 2D graphics would distract me from the gameplay but they are very well balanced and crafted.

So, it made me want to buy other games like this one, if they exist. Anyone has some suggestions? Cyberpunk 2D RPGS (I know a lot of 3D ones, no need to suggest these).

Thanks. I had searched the forums prior to posting but it seems I used the wrong keywords.
Curiously, some of the games I already own (like the Shadowrun series). And one missing game to recommend there was transistor.
But it seems to me that none of them are exactly like Dex. If we exclude the cyberpunk setting, 2D "metroidvania-like" RPGs seems to be a rarity.

Rare or maybe only one game in this setting

most of those are too action heavy with little or no meaningful story plots/ characters. Dex is a good balance between fighting and talking.

Ghost 1.0 could hit this mark. Plus Ghost is just oozing with satire. It's amazing.

Thanks, but it is too action-oriented to my tastes and doesn't seem to have RPG mechanics. And worst of all, no Linux version.

There is a game called Icey, you can try it

I dare to say there's no game like Dex. Well, not one that has all its qualities combined. There are a few similiar titles, but none so good as Dex: Remember Me, Icey, Ghost 1.0, Shadowrun, but each one with its particularities.
In terms of 2D-cyberpunk-RPG, Dex is simply the best game out there.

Only games from the '90s. They're out there though.
