About This Game
Into the M.A.W. is a 2-4 person co-op space combat campaign. Gather your crew, assign their roles, and work together to complete perilous missions within a mysterious time loop.
Prepare to enter the M.A.W., your ship’s Miniaturized Aperture Wormhole, to escape a mysterious time loop. As your team embarks on intergalactic missions, rely on learned strategies from previous missions to manage increasingly dangerous threats to your ship and crew. As you complete different objectives, activate the M.A.W. to transport you to your next destination… or reset time to try for a different outcome. Can your crew survive long enough to uncover the secrets of the M.A.W.?
