Infiltrate the depths of an exoplanet mining facility to scavenge for gear and challenge a corrupt megacorporation. Utilize gadgets and equipment in high-stakes stealth, and hone your fighting skills in breakneck combat in this stylish stealth-action dungeon crawler.
Players can utilize a variety of gadgets and tools to navigate the stealth sections. Taser darts, noisemakers, and concussion grenades allow them to distract, disable, or isolate guards. Manipulating enemy patrol patterns and using the shadows to their advantage is key to avoiding detection. Players who initiate combat encounters through clever ambushes are rewarded with significant advantages.
The combat is fast-paced and punishing, as the guards are stronger and more heavily armored than the player. However, mastering the freeform combo system can enable players to overcome their foes. They can string together light and heavy attacks, as well as use environmental hazards, to emerge victorious. The transition between stealth and combat is seamless, forcing players to rely on their combat skills to escape if caught unaware.
Defeating the bosses, each with their own unique fighting style, twists, and story development, requires careful observation of patterns and precise timing of dodges and parries. Players praise these memorable and rewarding challenges, with the inclusion of a boss practice mode helping them prepare for the encounters.
The wide variety of unique gear pieces not only provide statistical benefits, but also have distinct visual styles that allow players to customize the look of their character. The risk vs. reward extraction system encourages players to weigh their options carefully, deciding whether to push deeper into the facility or cash out their loot. The depth of the gear and customization system adds to the player's sense of investment and ownership over their character.
