Features
- A ROGUELIKE HERO SHOOTER – Shape your playstyle every match through Evolutions, powerful, semi-randomized, upgrades unique to each hero. Evolve a sniper into a close-range skirmisher, or a support role into a powerful lone wolf. Build your hero in real-time to suit your personal playstyle.
- SIGNATURE EXTRACTION MODE – Drop into Trials, an ongoing, persistent fight to collect cores, extract, and unlock powerful Augments which fuel your future Trials runs.
- BUILD YOUR PERFECT RUN, OR DIE TRYING – Discover new levels of mastery across every run as you take on the competition with new abilities, stakes, and challenges that change every match. With the clock ticking, do you safely extract with your hard-earned cores, or go big, risk it all, and see if you and your team can earn top ranking. The choice is yours.
