You play as government operative Sam Gideon, sent in an augmented suit to retake the Providence space colony from an occupying force and stop its weapon from threatening Earth.
Fight through sci-fi battlefields filled with robotic enemies and giant machines. Rocket-boost across open areas, evade incoming fire, use cover when needed, and slow time while aiming to make precise shots.
Switch among high-tech weapons and use melee attacks that change with your loadout. Boosting and slow motion draw on the suit's energy, so managing its charge is part of combat. The campaign also offers boss fights, difficulty options, mission scoring, and tactical challenges.
Supplied reviews often praise the fast, mobile combat, especially the way rocket-boost movement and slow-motion aiming turn battles into a fluid alternative to staying in cover. Players also appreciate the weapon variety, dramatic enemy encounters, and reasons to replay missions or try higher difficulties. Some reviewers find the story weak and the campaign short, and a number say the game does not clearly teach its more effective techniques.
From master director Shinji Mikami of Resident Evil fame, SEGA brings PlatinumGames’ revolutionary sci-fi action shooter to PC. Unlocked framerate, unlocked HD resolutions, extensive graphics options: the definitive way to play. War has accelerated.
Gear up in the Augmented Reaction Suit as government operative Sam Gideon and become the ultimate weapon. Combine unrivalled firepower with superhuman speed and agility to take down a huge variety of deadly robots.
