The Great Rebellion

In a dystopian future, Human 10.28 takes up arms against a megacorporation seeking digital immortality. The game casts you as a rebel fighting through its forces, with the setting and political satire framing the action.

Each run takes you through randomly generated 2D side-scrolling stages filled with enemies and hazards. Aim and shoot with mouse or twin-stick controls, switching among dropped weapons as you fight through rooms and face bosses.

Between runs, spend resources on permanent character upgrades that carry some progress forward after defeat. You can also find items, unlock allies, and gain powers from European hero spirits; difficulty options include optional permadeath.

Players who enjoy the game often point to its fast side-scrolling gunfights, weapon variety, synth-heavy soundtrack, and the motivation to return for permanent upgrades. Some also like its political satire and retro presentation, while others find the writing too forceful or the gameplay, controls, and visual clarity uneven. Reactions to the political themes are notably divided.
