About the Game

The year is 2039. In a dystopian Arizona, you set out to find your missing uncle and recover government-confiscated technologies.

Armed with engineering skills and determination, you’ll explore an open world to gather energy and resources, unlock new machine parts and establish a network of bases. You'll assemble a fleet of rovers, drones and robots and use those to infiltrate government facilities, uncover dark secrets, and reveal the truth about your uncle.

Build Machines

Engineer a fleet of machines. Use mechanical parts, engines, weapons, and electronics to build machines that drive, fly, fight, mine resources, hack and more.

Construct Bases

Construct and expand your network of bases. Build fueling stations, research facilities, resource storage silos and defense outposts.

Source Energy, Resources and Parts

Explore an open world to discover new parts, source energy, and mine resources to upgrade and expand your fleet of machines


Fight or Outsmart

Infiltrate enemy bases guarded by robots and drones. Fight your way through or use advanced electronics to stay unseen.
