The gameplay is based around tactically directing your squad to overcome all obstacles that come your way. To this end the game sports what it calls the "Consequence System", in which anything you do and say to your squadmates will affect how much they trust you. On low levels of trust, they will act like a [[Commander Contrarian]] and just do whatever they want, but on high levels they will respond to your commands quickly and precisely, and grant you hints about enemy weakspots, hidden items, etc. The Consequence System will also affect the plot, as different squadmates will act differently during certain points of the story depending on their respective levels of trust. Commands can be issued either by pressing buttons or by using a headset.
The game is also a love letter to classic, old school [[Cyberpunk]], with pretty much every trope out of the cyberpunk writer's manual on display, and loads of [[Shout-Out|shout-outs]]/[[
''Binary Domain'' was released on February 16, 23, 24, and 28 to Japan, Australia, Europe, and America, respectively. A PC port was released over Steam on April 27 worldwide.

* [[Grey and Gray Morality]]: {{spoiler|The Amada A.I. has no actual malice towards humanity in his actions (the only human he actually hated was Amada himself, [[Hoist By His Own Petard|and he was taken care of)]], and created the Hollow Children out of a genuine drive to behave like a living being and have a "family" of his own. While he DOES believe Hybrids to be superior to humanity, his answer is not to destroy humanity, but to ''merge'' with it until man and machine are indistinguishable from one another. As for the heroes, the Rust Crew may have valid reasons to pursue their mission... but their superiors have something shifty going on.}}
