About the Game

Welcome to the D.A.C!


As a Recruit of the Data Administration Corps, your job is to hold down a Base while it collects data on various planets across the galaxy.
This task won't be easy, as these Alien planets are home to a pletora of man-eating gigantic Insects. You'll need to scavenge, build, level up, then maybe you'll stand a chance at surviving the swarm



Don't worry though, you will be receiving drop boxes every morning containing Scrap, Ammo, and Medkits. You will need to explore the map and dispatch any hostiles you find while collecting loot to build a strong base



When you have enough scrap, you'll be able to Build an inpenetrable fortress that will hold against any monstrosity this planet throws at you. Barricades, Turrets, Flamethrower Turrets, Missile Turrets, and even Mechs that you can Control or have as a personal bodyguard.



As you explore and kill bugs, you will become stronger with randomized abilities you can choose from with each level. From flaming bullets to Invulnerability, you'll become a killing machine in no time!



You can also create your perfect space soldier with many customization options for your character model, skin color, and building color.



When you inevitably die you will get a hefty sum of gold which you can use to buy upgrades to all of your ingame Stats. These will take permanent effect as soon as you start a new match and will help you reach new heights and become even stronger.



Don't worry though, you won't have to face the bugs alone. You can bring up to 3 friends to explore, build, and survive together! If you don't have any friends, you are automatically provided with a Canine Unit as your personal bodyguard.
