STORY OVERVIEW

The shockwave from the supernova swept through the super-secret scientific outpost Silicon One, disabling many of its security measures. The encrypted distress signal from the outpost reaches your employers. Looks like it's time to put your basic combat training into action. Pick up your trusty company-supplied sidearm and get yourself to the outpost to sort out this mess...

COMPANIONS

Summon a companion to fight with you against your enemies for a short while. Choose between a selection of cat companions that will assist you in dispatching your enemies, a selection of human characters, and a selection of robot companions wielding ranged weapons of differing elements.
Invest points in your companion skills to extend their summon duration or to reduce the cooldown time between summons.
Your summoned companion shares some of your skills! More health for you means more health for your companion!

Don't worry - you can't harm your companions and they can't harm you!

SKILLS

Dozens of skills, ranging from weapon skills to survivability to elemental damage types to improving companion summoning and more!

Create your character build your way by spending earned skill points on the skills of your choosing.
Skill points are awarded when levelling-up.
Skill points may also be found as rare random loot.

LOOT

So. Much. Loot.

Lots of chests/containers/crates full of random loot (if you're lucky) of various item grades.
Item Tiers (increasing quality and rarity): White (Common), Green, Blue, Purple, Orange (Legendary).

Will that chest contain a bit of money or a jaw-dropping Legendary MeleeMod to punch your enemies to bits with!

No in-app purchases.
No microtransactions.
All lootable items in the game are obtainable via the random loot system or in-game quests. Some locked containers may require keys in order to open them and access their random loot - keys are obtainable via gameplay.

WEAPONS

Ranged weapon types: Pistols, Assault Rifles, Shotguns, SubMachine Guns, Sniper Rifles, Rocket Launchers.

Weapons spawn with random quality tier, elemental damage, sights, and weapon stats (clip size, fire-rate, reload speed, etc.)
1000's of random weapon combinations!

Plus, don't forget your fists! Melee-attack enemies that get in-your-face or close the distance and give your enemies some fisticuffs (that means punch them)!

ELEMENTAL DAMAGE

Melt your enemies. Or fry them. Or shock their shields away. Choose the weapon with the elemental damage type for the circumstances. Or just shoot everything with your favourite gun/grenade. Or deploy your companion to take some of the heat. Or loot and equip a cool MeleeMod that melts your enemies. Your choice.

STORE YOUR STUFF

Too many items in your backpack? Free-up space in your backpack by transfering items to the Bank storage.
Found a great item but it's for a different character class? Put it into the Bank storage - all characters can access the shared Bank!

Did an enemy/container/boss spawn a great piece of loot but you missed it? Check out your Lost Property storage to see if some loot that you did not pick up was automatically saved for you.

FAST TRAVEL

Travel to any previously-discovered location at any time via the Map menu.
Revisit areas you have been to before: fight the enemies again to gain experience to level-up your character, to look for new loot or to refight bosses for a chance for their special, rare loot.

GAME DIFFICULTY SETTINGS

A range of standard difficulty settings to suit every player: for players new to first-person shooters, players who just want some casual fun to harder difficulties for players that want more of a challenge.
Hardest standard difficulty too easy for you? Try one of the even harder challenge difficulties, all the way up to Impossible difficulty.
