Rapid-Fire Combat

Nimbly weave through hordes of enemies as you blow them away with your trusty arm cannon! Run circles around groups of enemies with the Speedster class and pick them off with your precision blaster, crash into them with the Breaker class and then blow them away with the grenade launcher on your high-impact cannon, or even become an immovable wall of destruction with the Vanguard class as you force foes to keep their distance using the kinetic blast from your rapid-fire firearm. Every loadout of class and weapon choice completely changes the way you approach each run, providing endless replayability and challenges to overcome.

Game-Breaking Synergies

Rain down destruction with powerful augmentations that debilitate your enemies with status effects! Slow them down with a Ping Storm, chain electricity across the battlefield with a Lightning Rod, or even set your bullets ablaze when shooting through a Firewall! Each augmentation grows stronger as you do, gaining new effects, stats and modifiers. 


Highly Customizable Builds of Destruction

Finetune your loadout for maximum destruction! Convert Shards into upgrades between each wave to collect powerful new abilities and min-max your stats to become an unstoppable force. Those constructs won’t know what hit them!

Incredibly fun and replayable!
Only negatives are the performance issues that appear when more enemies spawn with each wave, the confusion as to why heals aren't able to be bought, and the stockpile system (which I don't exactly understand).

But overall: excellent style and lovely gameplay, excited for the steam release!

Thanks! We have a roadmap of performance optimizations laid out internally, so we expect this to improve a lot. If you have any specific issues, let us know on the Discord. We're tracking bug reports and suggestions there. Also, the other players are coming up with different strategies and challenges there, and it's fun to watch things evolve.
