About the game
You work for SAXON as a robot sent to deal with a fungal outbreak on New Atlas. Each mission gives your crew a job, from clearing infected machinery to moving cargo or firing a huge railgun. Enemies can pick up parts from fallen machines, so shooting off a weapon does not always remove the problem. You gather resources and bring upgrades back to your orbital base.
Up to four players team up online. Different robots bring shields, healing and movement tools that help the crew cross terrain and survive attacks. When a friend falls apart, you carry their pieces together to revive them. Between jobs, you fit differently shaped upgrades into weapon grids and spend time with the base's toys and minigames. Fights demand attention, while the ship gives you room to talk.
