About this game
Dive into the adrenaline-pumping realm of multiplayer shooter gaming! In this sci-fi setting, choose from three unique kits - the Hornet, the Hound, and the Heavy - each with their own movement speeds and characteristics to master and level up.
Players spawn with a primary and a secondary weapon, and you cannot pick up someone else's, so build your loadout wisely. Restore armor by picking up drops from fallen enemies and choose from a range of tactical and passive abilities, including Stalker, Deployable Cover, Armor Leech, and Predator, to add an extra layer of strategy.
Whether you're a casual or competitive player, get ready to suit up and engage in a battle like no other in this indie game that offers a thrilling gaming experience.
