About the Game

A fast-paced, loot-driven action RPG where you step into the role of Earth’s last hope for survival. Carve your way through relentless swarms of enemies, chase down rare and powerful gear, and shape your character through deep build-crafting. As the Swarm spreads across the galaxy, uniting factions under its terrifying banner, you’ll face escalating threats and massive boss encounters in a desperate struggle to protect what remains of humanity.

Key Features

  • Freedom of choice and playstyle

    Pick abilities that suit your playstyle, ranging from powerful long ranged attacks, close ranged brawling, or step back and let your traps or drones do the work for you.

  • Unlimited build possibilities

    Choose from a wide variety of modules (various projectiles, drones, traps, bombs, augments, auras) and customize how they function through meaningful gear and build choices. No builds are ever the same thanks to randomly generated items and a gigantic Passive Skill Tree.

  • Explore a vast, expanding world

    Explore a vast, ever-expanding world that spans multiple dimensions, each with its own challenges, enemies, and secrets to uncover. Dive into a variety of endgame activities designed to test your builds, push your skills, and keep the experience fresh long after the story ends.

  • Forge Your Power

    Use a complex (but not too complex) crafting system to tweak, optimize, and evolve your equipment. From stat tuning to high-end upgrades, every choice helps you perfect your build and dominate tougher enemies.

  • Softcore or Hardcore—Your Call

    Softcore lets you push forward without losing everything, while Hardcore offers the ultimate test of skill with permanent death.  There is also an optional Solo-Self Found mode where you cannot share items or currency between your ships.
