11 itemsAbout the Game
Death is not the end. It is one more step toward victory. Sharpen your bioengineered blades, ready your flesh-forged rifles, and deploy powerful tactical abilities. Humanity’s future depends on winning the war against the mysterious and ruthless Ancestors. Evolution is our only chance.
GO MELEE, GO RANGE, GO TACTICAL
The combat of CRETE is intense, fast, tactical and full of unique moments. Find your style and combine devastating Melee attacks with precise Range shots, use your abilities to create opportunities, protect yourself or your partner, or blast all your enemies at once.
TRUE COOPERATIVE
You can play CRETE as a lonely warrior; however, playing together is the ultimate experience. Combine your attacks, protect each other, find your synchronised tactics and share your progress. Cooperation is not an option, but the only way to survive on this planet. The world is waiting to demonstrate the real meaning of teamwork.
IMPROVE USING BIOENGINEERING
Adapt in real time as your DNA‑Suit absorbs enemy mutations, enhancing your physical attributes and shifting your combat approach with every encounter.
Back at basecamp, refine your arsenal with collected Proto‑genes to craft specialised mutations, abilities and weapons engineered for your exact combat profile.
Every expedition becomes an experiment. Every mutation, a new way of fighting.
