About the Game

THE SKY TORE OPEN. IT NEVER CLOSED.

A rift split the heavens and the Swarm poured through. Numberless. Starving. You are a KYROX-pattern, thawed from a cold vault to answer for it. No name. One purpose. Hold the line or die screaming.

KILL, LOOT, SURVIVE

You start with a pistol. Everything else you tear off the things you kill. Grind through relentless waves of over twenty monster types, each with its own gross face, its own scream, and its own way to end you. Hear a Charger wind up behind you and turn before it lands. Miss, and the wave eats you.

BUILD A RUN THAT BREAKS THE RULES

Seven weapons, from the PULSE sidearm to the LANCE railgun that skewers six enemies in a single line. Every gun kicks its own way, and learning the recoil is the difference between clutch and corpse. Between waves you draft from over forty upgrades that snowball into a build: crit stacks, piercing rounds, lifesteal, explosive shots, dodge rolls. Push the Threat tiers for meaner enemies and fatter rewards, and bank shards in the Armory for permanent perks that ride with you into every run.

FACE THE WARDENS

Four boss archetypes command the Swarm. Each is a wall of teeth with three phases and its own fight, backed by elite enemies that roll deadly affixes. Nothing in here wants you to reach the next wave.

TAKE YOUR AIM ONLINE

When you think you are good enough, prove it. Best of five 1v1 duels over Steam, lag compensated, with every gun, every recoil pattern, and every ounce of feel carried straight over from the campaign. Just you, a rival, and whoever flinches first.

RUN THE DAILY

One seed. Everyone. Every day. Same waves, same drafts, same map for the entire world. Climb the leaderboard and hold your spot.

SIX ARENAS WITH SOUL

Neon kill-boxes. An ember-red fighting pit. A procedural dungeon that is never the same twice. And a real hand-built cathedral where a pipe organ plays you to your grave.

Pixel-perfect, CRT-soaked, and built by one person who refused to let it look like everything else. Survive the nights.
