About the game
You wake up on a wrecked space station and shoot your way through rooms full of hostile machines. Each room is a quick fight, and a full run through a zone takes around an hour. When you die, you keep what you earned and spend it on permanent upgrades before the next try.
Up to three players can team up online, and players on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and Switch 2 can join the same squad. You mark enemies for focused fire, time grenade throws together and revive whoever goes down. Weapons carry elemental effects and perks change how you play, so your build matters. A friend who joins in the middle of a mission watches until it ends.
The gunplay is the draw and the story stays in the background. It suits two or three friends who like to shoot, tune a build and run the same station again.
