You lead a crew of cyberpunk mercenaries taking contracts in a fractured future. Choose jobs and work with underworld contacts, corporations, and other factions as your crew builds a reputation and manages the risks of attracting attention.
Missions use turn-based, gridless squad tactics. Scout routes, avoid or distract patrols, disable security, hack networks, and complete objectives before extracting. Enemies react to what they see and hear; noisy actions can raise security and bring reinforcements, so plans may shift from stealth to a fight or a quick escape.
Between jobs, recruit and develop mercenaries, combine classes, customize weapons, install cyberware, and improve your safehouse. Decisions and mission outcomes affect contacts, faction standing, and crew relationships, while legwork and favors can open opportunities or provide advantages for later jobs.
Players often praise the mix of stealth and turn-based combat, especially the chance to adapt when a mission gets loud, as well as the range of crew builds and tactical approaches. Reviews also highlight the contacts and faction systems as giving choices outside missions consequences, and many appreciate the developers’ frequent updates. Some players find the story arcs thin or unresolved, missions repetitive, or the many systems difficult to learn.
A modern tactical RPG with some of our favorite elements: gridless movement, environmental cover, specialized overwatch, initiative manipulation and more. Independent enemy unit AI opens up a world of creative combat tactics & stealth options; pick them off one by one, stage diversions, or use advanced tech to sneak right by them.
Combat is challenging and in-depth. Powerful abilities, tricked out weapons, and smart coordination can give you an edge, but once you go loud expect things to escalate. Move fast and avoid getting pinned down to accomplish your objectives and get out alive.
The ecosystem has collapsed. Only 112 cities remain, sheltering under massive domes or inside of mountains. Artificial consciousness has been created, killed, and outlawed at a global level. Megacorporations, nanotech and quantum computing have radically altered the world… and your character is one of the few equipped to handle it.
Choose your jobs to build your rep without taking on too much heat. Work your network of underworld contacts to trade favors, pay bribes, and gain advantages before taking on a heist. Plan your path through multi-stage missions, and commit your crew to legwork that could reveal new opportunities or threats.
Balance factions, favors, reputation and more. Rivals, fixers, arms dealers and corporate big shots... who you work for, who you fail or betray, all of it can open and close opportunities for you. Watch your heat, and try to make sure more people owe you than the other way around.
Extensive talent trees, more than 40 multiclass combinations, weapon modding, safehouse upgrades, evolving character traits and more combine to give players endless ways to build a crew that can take on any job. Rich visual customization (hair, outfits, faces, eyes, tattoos, facial hair, accessories, color options for everything, and more) & naming lets you personalize any of your characters.
Your squad members evolve as you play, shaped by your choices, their injuries, interactions, even their presence on some missions. Inspired by years of tabletop RPGs, our custom-built Casting Director story engine uses all this information to choose and place squad members and NPCs into world events and storylines it selects for you on each playthrough. Who will end up a betrayer, a friend in need, or the villain this time? Create new squads, discover new stories, and watch how your choices make it all fit together.
