Return home


You left the planet 200 years ago in search of a new life on the colonies, now you've returned against your will and must fight to survive in the post-apocalyptic world you once called home.

As you explore the world, you'll encounter different enemies and bosses soaked with lore. Slaying them can reward you with new grimoire, relic era currency, parts for your ship, and mysterious treasures.

Explore mysterious landscapes


Your home has mutated and evolved since you've been gone. Explore the vast ruins of the city to the desolate valleys of the wasteland and uncover secrets of the past and present.

Meet new friends


On your journey you'll make new friends who can reward your efforts of bravery and meet merchants who will sell you important items and weapons in exchange for the spoils of your adventure.
