Publisher BadLand Indie has announced that it's working with developer Dreadlocks Ltd. to enhance cyberpunk RPG Dex for PS Vita, PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Wii U.

Dex was released for PC earlier this year and it's actually one of the Steam games we tipped you off about. So it's cool to see that it'll be heading to PS Vita too.

This enhanced version will include manual saves, improved AI, revamped AR/cyberspace modes, improved gamepad support, and support for German, French, and Hungarian.

As to the game itself, it's a tribute to '90s adventure games with non-linear play inside the cyberpunk city of Harbor Prime.

The story follows an "enigmatic AI striving to reach the Singularity, an event in which artificial intelligence will surpass that of humans and all bets about the future will be off."

But you play as a rad blue-haired woman who climbs and sneaks around the city, beating up thugs, and getting to know the city's inhabitants. You can also augment her with new skills.

Dex is immediately eye-grabbing due to the influence of classic cyberpunk visuals such as Blade Runner, Akira, and Deus Ex.
