About this game
It’s just you and your crew versus an alien invasion. Odds are you’re going to die. A lot. Thankfully, it’ll take more than death to stop you.
You’re one of four seemingly ordinary people who mysteriously survived an alien invasion that turned most of humanity to glass. With a moon-sized mothership looming overhead, killer robots hunting you down, and mutated flora and fauna spreading across the planet, you’re led to a crashed alien ship by an eccentric scientist. He claims the same tech he used to predict the invasion led him to find you - because you’re the only ones who can stop what comes next.
Armed with an arsenal of mind-bending weapons and machines—including the ability to “reprint” your fallen teammates—it’s up to you to destroy the mothership before the invaders’ global mining operation grinds the planet to dust.
When you fail, death isn’t the end. It’s a chance to regroup, adapt, and finally save the world. Drop into dynamic missions packed with ever-changing environments, emerging objectives, and escalating threats.
Experiment. Improvise. Beat the odds.
With every attempt, you’ll unlock new gear, uncover the invasion’s secrets, and push ever deeper into the unknown.

4:Loop - designing the ominous cube-shaped Scanner boss
Hi, I’m Mike Booth, Chief Creative Officer at Bad Robot Games, and Game Director of 4:LOOP. In my last post, I shared how our core gameplay systems come together to create an unpredictable and endlessly replayable experience. Today, I’d like to share more details on one of our co-op shooter’s high-stakes boss fights. Specifically, I’d like to talk about how our team approaches designing these battles, and how these considerations led to one of our most unique enemies so far: The Scanner. No two bosses are alike One of our main goals when designing bosses in 4:LOOP is making each of them unique – not only in their visual design, but in how they behave. We know we’re on the right track when a boss requires players to adopt new forms of cooperation, improvisation, and combinations of equipment and abilities. All of this results in the kind of creative problem solving at the heart of 4:LOOP. When we first started exploring the Scanner, or “The Cube,” as it’s called internally, I wanted to do something a bit different: create a boss battle that wasn’t about direct combat, but navigation, spatial awareness, and cross-map coordination. Keep moving to stay aliveFor some of our boss battles, players can succeed by finding cover, hunkering down, and dishing out heaps of damage. But with the Scanner, that’s a sure-fire way to get yourself killed. Rather than attacking players directly, the Scanner emits a Laser Matrix over the entire map. This “Grid of Doom” (to use another internal name) is an interlocking grid of bright red and extremely dangerous lasers. One hit is enough to knock a player down. A second hit and you are out of the fight. The grid is slow moving and easy to see, making it manageable enough at the start of the encounter – and seemingly safe enough to lull you into a sense of complacency. But as the fight progresses, the laser grid becomes tighter and tighter, making navigation and survival increasingly difficult to manage. Of course, it’s not enough to just s...Read full article on Community Announcements (Shadow)
