What it feels like
Fast-paced spaceship combat and flight provide kinetic rush and thrilling moment-to-moment play.
What it's about
A vivid sci-fi setting with spaceship combat and space exploration drives the world and narrative.
How it plays
Fast-paced spaceship combat with shooting at the core of moment-to-moment play is the defining feature. Tons of loot drops and randomized item rewards drive the reward loop alongside third-person shooter combat. Loot-driven progression with randomized item drops of varying rarity is central to the gameplay loop.
How it looks and sounds
The camera follows the player's spaceship from behind for third-person shooter perspective.
How it's structured
Designed as a single-player experience with no multiplayer component. A handcrafted open world in space and on planets is explorable in non-linear, player-chosen order. An exciting sci-fi story with a bounded narrative arc provides the framing for exploration and combat.
