You play as one of four S2P agents sent into a locked-down underground facility after a paranormal containment breach. Investigate the crisis, confront the creatures inside, and uncover information about the facility and the agents.
Combat is a top-down twin-stick shooter built around aiming, dodging, reloading, and using special abilities or melee weapons against enemy swarms. You can play alone or with up to two other players, and optional friendly fire can make co-op more chaotic.
Each expedition offers weapons and temporary upgrades to shape your run, while persistent upgrades carry progress between attempts. Manage your Fear level as you navigate dark areas, complete mission objectives, and unlock weapons, enhancements, and character story material.
Positive reviews often highlight the responsive twin-stick combat, enjoyable co-op, and character writing, humor, and atmosphere. Some players also appreciate the upgrades that let them improve agents and customize weapons across runs. Other reviews find the experience repetitive, with limited route variety and uneven difficulty—especially for solo play—so enjoyment varies with players’ tolerance for repeated runs and combat challenges.
Section 13 is a roguelite twin-stick shooter that can be played solo or in a group of up to 3 players (crossplay not supported). As an Agent of the S2P Corporation, it’s up to you to investigate a crisis at the most top-secret facility of a company whose whole thing is keeping secrets.
Step into the shoes of Agents Red, Boy Scout, Beaker, and Scalpel, as they fight to unearth the buried secrets of Section 13… and solve a few personal mysteries of their own. Collect data on paranormal entities running amok and find out what it all has to do with you.
When an Omega-level containment breach puts an off-the-books company black-site on lockdown, it’s up to a small team of expendable peons to get to the bottom of it. Literally.
Tackle the mission solo or with up to two squad-mates. And with optional friendly fire, it’s up to you whether you’d like a more forgiving experience, or chaotic fun with mad-science weapons.
As a Tier-1 paranormal containment facility, Section 13 is full of unique hazards, and it's up to you to overcome them with quick wits and reflexes.
Time your dodge-rolls and reloads to stay one step ahead of a horde of hungry monsters. Back against the wall? Pop off with a special ability… or grab a melee weapon and smash your way out.
But keep an eye on your Fear level, or risk a debilitating mid-mission panic attack!
Add some spice to every run with unlockable (and customizable) weapons, gameplay-altering Synaptic Enhancements, and of course, recreational genetic modification. (Some side effects may apply).
Utilize special abilities and unique tactical items to outsmart pissed-off cryptids, navigate a series of shifting levels, and push deeper into the base with every attempt.
Between deaths, you’ll also unlock persistent upgrades that change how you play and radically alter your chances of success.
