The First Descendant

You play as a Descendant tasked with fighting invaders and protecting humanity on the Ingris continent. Scenario missions advance the story and reveal more about the Descendants. Combat combines third-person gunplay with character-specific abilities and grappling-hook movement. Missions can be played solo or cooperatively, with teams of up to four taking on large Colossus bosses and their distinct mechanics. Collect weapons and equipment from missions and World Missions, then use them to strengthen characters and firearms. Character abilities, gear and upgrade modules let you shape different combat builds and prepare for harder challenges.

Defend humanity as a Descendant, combining firearms, abilities and grappling movement in missions and four-player boss fights.
