This game ain't half bad, actually. The dialogue and voice acting are, predictably, pretty bad, but that's just par for the course. Also, there's a disturbing amount of reference to man-rape in the first few scenes, though you do get to beat the tar out of the guy making the references and then everybody congratulates you on, so I guess that's okay. But basically, yeah, this is French Mass Effect on Mars with Rusty Pipes, all the way down the combat [which includes a skill wheel that you can choose from]. Definitely worth what little I paid for it.

I would buy this instead of Tomb Raider

I've put about 3 hours into this, so I feel pretty confident about making a statement about the game as a whole. It's a pretty good game, doesn't necessarily tread in new ground [lots of cues from Mass Effect and Euro-RPGs like Risen and The Witcher], but it pulls it off pretty well for what's essentially an XBLA game.
Everything's pretty competent technically, there's no horrible glitches or confusion menus or rampant bugs to contend with. The combat is fairly smooth and offers enough variety in skills and attacks that it gets the job done. Enemy variety is a little on the low side, though, just three different types so far. The UI is minimalistic and offers just the necessary information depending on the situation. The menus are easy to navigate, understand, and use. All weapons and armor can be upgraded with materials that you find lying around.
Graphics are okay, not the greatest ever but certainly not bad. The art style is about what you'd expect if somebody mashed up Fallout and Red Faction. It gets the job done, and at least the graphics are clean and represent a consistent style that works with the setting.
The real downside here is that voice acting ranges from bad to merely serviceable, and the writing is sometimes awkwardly translated. Neither are ever gratingly terrible, but you're not going to get Mass Effect levels of polish in this regard, so set expectations accordingly.
The story is fairly interesting, and a departure from what you generally get in RPGs like this. In the game, you're a prisoner of war that's been thrown into a derelict prison camp. Your goal is to figure out a way to escape, making use of everyone around you to get the supplies you need. A nice change of pace from the traditional "save the world" or "save the girl" stories these games usually have. And, hey, it's all on some crazy, war torn Martian future, so you got that, too.
It's not a big, expansive RPG, but it's the sort of game that's my cocaine, so I am very happy with my impulse purchase on this one.

sounds dope. will buy.

The main problem is that everything is getting pretty repetitive. There's not much variety in the enemies [mostly human armed with either guns or knives] or in the environments [lots of rusty buildings and red sand]. Hopefully this does well enough for Spider that they're able to expand everything with a sequel [or a big expansion pack].
