Outriders
Outriders is a 1-3 player co-op RPG shooter set in an original, dark and desperate sci-fi universe. As mankind bleeds out in the trenches of Enoch, you’ll create your own Outrider and embark on a journey across the hostile planet. With rich storytelling spanning a diverse world, you’ll leave behind the slums and shanty towns of the First City and traverse forests, mountains and desert in the pursuit of a mysterious signal. Combining intense gunplay with violent powers and an arsenal of increasingly twisted weaponry and gear-sets, Outriders offers countless hours of gameplay.
What it feels like
Dark, desperate tone with brutal bloody combat and harsh sci-fi worldbuilding refuses to soften the brutality. Intense frenetic gunplay and violent power execution create a kinetic rush and flow in moment-to-moment play.
What it's about
Set in an original dark sci-fi universe on the hostile planet Enoch with advanced weaponry and technology. Mankind bleeds out in trenches; the setting involves ruins, slums, and survival on a hostile world after collapse. Enduring a hostile planet against environmental and enemy threats is woven into the narrative and setting.
How it plays
The core loop combines third-person gunplay with randomized loot drops and gear progression, explicitly stated as a hybrid of shooting and endless randomized rewards. Frenetic gunplay with an arsenal of weapons and tactile shooting is central to moment-to-moment combat and the player's offensive toolkit. Violent powers and stylish execution of ability combos add depth beyond simple shooting, with powers as a core part of combat expression.
How it looks and sounds
Third-person perspective is the canonical viewpoint for combat and exploration throughout. A dark, desperate sci-fi universe with brutal and bloody combat creates a grimy, worn atmosphere.
How it's structured
The game is explicitly designed as a 1-3 player co-op experience with online multiplayer and drop-in co-op support. Online co-op is a core feature enabling 1-3 players to play together across the campaign. Fully playable solo, with the co-op being optional rather than required.
