Daisen

Daisen is a hyper-fast-paced shooter where healing only comes through killing, and your weapons are always eager to overheat at the worst possible moment. Mix up your arsenal, "dance" across the arena, and remember: the line between you and the anomaly is thinner than it seems, Ms. Emilia.

About the Game

"HUMANITY DOES NOT LEARN FROM ITS MISTAKES"

Kyiv, 2019. Fifteen years ago, humanity's attempt to conquer time ended in the catastrophic Time Fiasco. The experiment tore the fabric of reality, exposing Dark Matter - a fragile border with the non-Euclidean Anomalous world. Now, glowing "Windows" appear right on the city streets, from which Anomalies break through - creatures with their own ideologies and beliefs.

While underground Time Controllers artificially hold the earth together, private companies have turned the war with chaos into a commercial business and the direct extermination of competitors. Your name is Emilia Svitanko. You are an Essentiar. Your body is already mutating, granting you insane speed, but your mind still remains human. You are a mercenary for the Daisen corporation. Your mission: close the Windows, test experimental weapons, and eliminate "unnecessary eyes."

No magazines or classic reloads. Your weapons are equipped with Internal Bullet Generators powered by radioactive Zerfall Core processors. They create bullets directly while firing, but the price for this is instantaneous and critical overheating that will burn your fingers.

KEY FEATURES:

MANAGE HEAT, NOT AMMO

Take up to 3 weapons on a mission. From the "Siris" automatic rifle to the heavy "Grimolip" shotgun - balance on the brink of overheating so your weapon doesn't shut down in the heat of battle.

MOVEMENT IS YOUR SUPERPOWER

Use lightning-fast slides, jumps, and momentum to slice through crowds of enemies and dodge their projectiles. Believe me, you can't stand still in Daisen, because those who stand still are dead.

HEALING THROUGH KILLING

There are no medkits in the game. Collect hot orange essence from fallen enemies and use the Mender device to inject it directly into your veins to instantly heal your wounds.

DOUBLE LOOP THEORY

After exhausting sweeps, return to the Daisen hub office. Take a rest, buy new weapons with the hryvnias you earned, or simply enjoy the soothing atmosphere.

BLOODSTORM MODE

Survive in the arena against endless waves of enemies to your own music playlist. Prepare for sudden debuff events: from total blindness to poisonous smoke, or randomly renting a weapon from "casino slots."
