Story
You awaken aboard the ISS-X, with no memory of who you are. There’s a legion of rogue machines, and they’re closing in fast. Fight through swarms of enemies, loot rare gear, and arm yourself with augments to survive. Can you conquer the Deadzone?
Gameplay
Face Powerful Enemies
Fight against massive, biomechanical bosses that demand steady aim and quick reflexes. Annihilate waves of hunter-drones, robo-spiders, the mindless, and dozens of other enemies to survive each run. Battle through each ship sector — from the engine rooms to the brig.
Loot and Shoot
Master over 30 powerful weapons, each modifiable with elemental affixes and upgrades. Turn a shotgun into a void-spreading crowd crusher, or a submachine gun into a room clearing hail of ice. From plasma cannons to sniper rifles, your arsenal adapts to any combat scenario.
Unleash Elemental Fury
Incinerate drones with fire, freeze swarms with ice, chain lightning enemies with shock, or send them to the void with a well-timed headshot.
Roguelite Gameplay
Transform your combat approach through dozens of augments, perks, and items. Dominate from afar, strike from the shadows with stealth, or get close with enhanced melee. Your choices offer a unique experience against the mechanical onslaught.
Grow Stronger in Death
Use permanent upgrades to reshape yourself into a killing machine. Boost your shields, amplify elemental chaos, and tear bots apart with satisfying fury. Forge a path that matches your playstyle.
Unravel the Mystery
Explore a spaceship overrun by biomechanical creatures, enjoy an original music soundtrack and art, and discover your true mission and origin.
Fight on Your Terms
Start each new battle cloaked in stealth. Scout enemies out and decide on an attack plan before engaging them in combat. Explosive barrels, wall cover, and a mix of environments add an extra layer of strategy.
Solo or Co-Op Carnage
Adventure on your own, or conquer the ship in a co-op squad of up to 3 players. Mark enemies for focused fire, synchronize grenade strikes, and storm enemies with overwhelming force. Adjust difficulty levels for each mission to match your mood, from a more laid-back adventure experience all the way to nightmare mode.
Difficulty
There are four difficulties, which are called, "Security Levels"; they are, Adventure, Challenging, Extreme, and Nightmare. Extreme is unlocked by successfully beating the game. Nightmare is unlocked by successfully beating Extreme.
