Using advanced weapons and unique abilities, you will shoot & smash your way through dangerous towers and defeat the Overlords to put an end to their corruption of the city.

  • Gun down hordes of enemy machines with relentless and punishing close-range combat in which every bot destroyed makes you stronger.

  • Face the Overlords and adapt to their evolving powers and tactics by mastering highly customizable weapons, movement, and combat abilities.

  • Steal the Overlords’ Cores and harness their powers to craft and transform both your playstyle and appearance.

  • Unlock new weapons, abilities and talents to permanently increase your survivability and maximize your combat potential with every run.

  • Deploy your own traps, power-ups and hacks in each Overlord’s tower to turn the tides of battle in your favor.

  • Explore vibrant nostalgia-inspired locations to discover hidden upgrades and weapons throughout.

  • Be warned! Just as you grow stronger by defeating Overlords, the journey ahead will also become more challenging.

  • Defy the Overlords and save the city to the might of adrenaline-pumping rock music that will have you diving head-on and fist-first into action.
