On the desert planet Pandora, you play as one of four mercenaries searching for powerful alien technology known as the Vault. The campaign can be played solo or cooperatively with up to four players.
Fight bandits and creatures in first-person combat, complete missions, and collect weapons with different stats and effects. Gain levels, develop your character’s skills, and keep comparing gear as you find new equipment.
The Enhanced edition adds interface and visual updates, including a minimap, and includes four add-on campaigns. Some missions also send you into vehicle combat as you travel across Pandora.
Players who enjoy the game often point to its varied guns, satisfying shoot-and-loot cycle, and the fun of taking on Pandora with friends. Its comic-book-inspired art and desolate atmosphere also stand out, with some players appreciating the humor and characters. Others find the missions repetitive and the story thin, and many reviews report performance problems with the Enhanced edition, particularly crashes or slowdowns associated with a memory leak.

| Multiplayer | The game supports solo play and online co-op. Official store text states co-op play for up to 4 players and says the game can be played solo or with friends. Reviews also describe the full campaign as playable in co-op, mention multiplayer browser support, in-game voice chat, and rare PvP dueling, but PvP appears minimal and not a listed core feature. |
| Multiplayer & mods | A review states mods are tolerated and users are not banned from multiplayer for using them. No official mod support details are provided. One review mentions past split-screen use and says a mod was no longer needed to adjust FOV, but this does not confirm multiplayer mod features for this version. |
