Play as an android fighting the Machine Legion through changing combat zones. Each run sends you through enemy encounters and bosses, with death ending that run.
Fight from a top-down perspective using cover, movement, and a varied arsenal. Guns can jam or overheat, and reloading may involve ejecting a magazine before inserting another; precision and timing matter in combat.
Choose among eight customizable classes and adapt each run with randomly found weapons, items, and perks. Class research and unlocks persist between runs, and difficulty modifiers can be combined. Play solo or team up with one other player online.
In the supplied reviews, players often praise the punchy, satisfying gunplay and the way its reload, weapon, and movement systems reward attention and practice. Many also enjoy experimenting with varied weapons, items, and class builds, which makes runs feel different. The steep challenge is a draw for some players, while others find it frustrating; several also mention the sound design and co-op as highlights.
