In this multiplayer survival-horror shooter, players enter alien-infested exclusion zones as mercenaries seeking valuable gear, or take the role of an alien hunting human players. Mercenaries also face mutants, turrets, and rival players.
As a mercenary, explore maps including a space station, caves, and a research facility; gather loot and equipment, fight with firearms and gadgets, and try to escape through evacuation points. UV light can damage alien monsters, while traps, detectors, attachments, and neurochips offer additional tools. Extracted items and materials build trader reputation and unlock equipment and cosmetics.
As an alien, stalk mercenaries through shadows and ventilation systems, set face-hugging traps, and use abilities such as screams and EMP waves to disrupt them. Level up and choose mutations to strengthen the alien or alter its abilities.
Many supplied reviews focus on difficulty getting into matches, while players who describe playing the game praise its mercenary-versus-alien concept, tense atmosphere, gunplay, and loot-and-extraction loop. Several also appreciate the sound design and progression. The reviews repeatedly report that matchmaking waits or a lack of other players kept them from experiencing the game, and some criticize its support and balance.
Alone or with friends, play as elite mercenaries tasked with extracting valuable items from several exclusion zones overrun by aliens and mutants. Explore three unique maps – the Space Station, Caves of Turion, and the Research Facility. Engage in visceral first-person combat using a vast arsenal of military-grade weaponry and gadgets. Fight both PvE and PvP threats – mutants, turrets, and other players controlling rival mercenaries or alien monsters.
Use UV light to damage alien monsters, find valuable loot, and extract safely using one of the multiple evacuation points on each map. Equip grenades, gun attachments,
motion detectors, light traps, and neurochips that grant special perks before embarking on dangerous raids. Extract items, weapons, and crafting materials to raise your reputation with traders to unlock new items and cosmetic rewards.
Play as an alien monster, a formidable extraterrestrial entity equipped with powerful abilities. Lurk in the shadows, use ventilation systems to ambush humans and place face-hugging traps. Use horrifying screams to startle enemies and EMP waves to turn off the lights. Hunt human players and level up your alien with ever-evolving mutations that will make you stronger. Tailor your playstyle by mutating the alien to unlock more effective ability variations.
