The story
Action-focused, open world survival shooter, PvPvE against fellow mercenaries and lethal Xoids. Raid for resources alone or with team-mates, build and defend your base, stash your gear and survive against the odds. You are the hunters. You are the hunted. And the robots never sleep…
What it’s like
Harsh, sun-bleached desert light and dusty alien flats give this game a grim, industrial feel, with rust-coloured terrain, scrap-metal bases and the cold glow of tech-lit ruins. Its soundscape leans on mechanical hums, gunfire echoing across open ground and the unsettling clatter of hostile machines, with little to soften the tension. Pacing is driven by constant risk: long stretches of scavenging and fortifying are broken by sudden firefights, both against rival mercenaries and against relentless Xoids that keep coming. Its vibe is tense, gritty and chaotic, best suited to a focused session at a desk or a co-op night with friends who like planning raids and defending a hard-won base. Violence is frequent and central, with shooting, explosions and robots destroying players, though it is stylised rather than gory, and the threat of losing stashed gear adds steady anxiety. It is for players who want survival pressure, shooter action and base-building tension rather than anything calm or gentle.
