About the Game

The year is 4096. The Milky Way is dotted with massive installations owned by humanity's warring factions and empires. Ranging from deep space refineries to orbital temples, they have one thing in common: they are filled to the brim with technology, weapons, and riches.

You, a notorious desecrator, roam the galaxy aboard your FTL cruiser Nightingale, raiding targets of opportunity. Plunder your way to weapons and technology powerful enough to take on the ultimate heist: The legendary vaults of the Galactic Treasury.

But watch your six. Rival desecrators want the same prize. And bigger threats lurk in the dark...

Features:

  • Total freedom of movement. Roll, strafe, climb, dive. Fight in full 3D space with no up or down, weaving through particle fire and swarms of homing missiles.

  • Arsenal of mass destruction. Blast through enemies with a roster of over 25 guns, missiles and mines. Disintegrate enemies up close with the plasma thrower, or use a high explosive railgun to pick off targets from afar.

  • Different run every time. Choose your path through a randomized campaign. Explore sprawling procedural levels filled with enemies, traps and secrets.

  • Lethal opposition. Battle hordes ranging from swarming drones to elite war machines that communicate and coordinate to bring you down.

  • Three-way warfare. Fend off incursions from squads of deadly rival desecrators. Installation defenses target both you and your rivals with uniform hatred.

  • Anomaly detected. Rumors speak of massive experimental combat craft - so-called "Anomalies" - hidden in the depths of military and corporate bases. Save a nuke just in case...

  • Co-op or solo. Play through the campaign solo or in online co-op with up to 4 players.

  • VR support. Play the full campaign in VR, solo or in co-op.
