On the alien world of Tölva, you take control of a drone and search for the source of a mysterious signal amid the ruins of an ancient civilisation and the conflict between robotic factions.
Explore the open landscape, investigate points of interest, scan objects and transmissions, and fight enemy robots as you capture locations. The journey alternates between stretches of exploration and skirmishes over territory.
Collect resources and scan discoveries to unlock equipment and purchase weapons, shields, abilities, and hazard suits. You can also use a control device to recruit allied robots to fight alongside you.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its striking, desolate alien landscapes, atmospheric exploration, and unusual sci-fi setting; some also like recruiting robots and the tense, simple firefights. Other reviewers find the long stretches of traversal, repetitive encounters, and clunky combat wearisome, so responses to its slower, exploration-led pace are mixed.
