You play an expendable clone sent to test weapons on an alien world. Survive waves of hostile creatures while moving through the map and facing bosses.
During each run, collect weapon parts and upgrades to assemble and improve a gun. Attachments can change how it performs, letting you experiment with different builds as you fight.
Explore to find blueprints and resources that unlock weapon parts, genes, and other upgrades for future runs. Guns from earlier runs can also be equipped on a companion drone to provide support in a later attempt.
Players who enjoy the game often point to the hands-on weapon building, the fun of discovering unusual gun combinations, and the large map's exploration and unlocks. Some also like sending a gun from a previous run with a drone. Reviews differ on the pace and balance of progression: recurring complaints include resource grinding, difficulty spikes, and limited challenge or content after defeating the bosses.
