Online co-op allows you to bring reinforcements to the fight. Better yet, share perks, items, buffs and loot with your comrade. Or, if they get in your way, share your bullets.




1985. After many years of slavery, the AI servants of Kaida Corporation, the world leader in robotics, have formed the "Machine Legion" and have set out to destroy humanity. Awakening in Kaida Corp. Headquarters, you are the human consciousness of a forgotten Android prototype; the last straw holding the Legion from unleashing the Heart of Armageddon. Only you can battle through the levels of Kaida Corporation's Headquarters, defeat the battalions of enemies within and put an end to this madness.

Please note:
GOG GALAXY is required to use the online co-op feature. This game supports the use of codes that grants one time random item loadout. Those codes work in multiplayer mode only, however, the gear is obtainable in single player mode in the form of standard loot.

Great game, but enraging rebalances

Played a lot in 7 version of game: great roguelite experience as designed. Lots of weapons, unpredictable runs, nice balance. This version was very fun and promising. And then... version 9 came out. It broke everything: player skills were nerfed to the floor, enemy stats were raised to the skies. Swarms of overpowered enemies, no loot drops (not even a chance of it) and very weak android against it all - no fun at all. Played a lot with a sniper class: now sniper shoots like a drunkyard - no normal headshots, no way to make a tactic runaway because of overpowered enemies. I don't want to play such unpredictable game: it's not an MMO, which income depends on game balance, it's just another premium game. I don't understand why developers made such a mess with new updates.

Decent roguelite for a couple of hours

PROS + A lot of classes, techs to research, items and weapons to find and unlock. The classes are not as different as in Diablo, Monster Train or Slay the Spire, but interesting enough. CONS - No way to save the game to pick up where you left off later. Gotta go somewhere? Bye, current run. - Shops that let you upgrade items for some credits dont tell you what you get for your money. You gotta hover over the item, press Y to buy the upgrade and try to figure out what numbers went up by how much (plus hope you dont get killed while doing all that, because the game doesnt pause and enemies sometimes spawn out of nowhere). - Item shops are even worse than upgrade shops: they not telling you what items do is a complete fail. Items cost a huge chunk or all of your credits and you only get to buy one, so knowing what the items do is CRUCIAL. Have fun looking them up on the internet one by one. - Dead out of nowhere: especially against bosses. The entire screen explodes with fire and bullets and within 5s, you're dead. No way to react, no way to hide. Just dead, and some 30-60mins wasted. - Enemies are pretty similar and a little boring. - It's sometimes hard to tell friend from foe. I think when you fire at a friendly summon, their health bar turns red so it looks like an enraged enemy. It won't attack you (I think), but you'll be confused anyway. - The UI (research, perks and especially game settings) are so not triple AAA, it's almost cute.

10/10, avoid if possible.

Best goddamn gameplay mechanics. Wasted 200+ hours and don't want to stop. Avoid if you want to do something more productive with your time.

When you die in roguelike shooter games you say "Noooo, now I have to start all over again" When you die in this game you pick your jaw from the floor and say "Holy sht this was amazing, I want to try this again!" Synthetik nails the combat the shooting and gunplay. This makes all the difference. There is no early game slog where you need to pull through to get the game going. Early game is already fun and it only gets better the further you get. It's the game I was waiting for.

Great game, excelent for the price.

Hi all, I got into this excelent game because of the hey, hey, people review and because of the pandemy. This is a game that at first annoys you because of the eject magazine + reload mecanic, looks like a good roguelike without much more, first 3-5 hours I didn't thought of it so fondly. It was good for 20 bucks. Well, after some more playing you begin seeing the marvelos depth and insanity of this game. This game is good, but it turns out GREAT because of the scale, the more you play and the farther you get the more enemies come for you and the more damage your weapons do to those enemies. It gets VERY frantic and VERY satisfying, it is amazing even after 100 hours when I can defeat the final boss on a regular basis. So, PROs and CONs PROS: - Weapons. Many and very diverse, some are silly, some are science-murder-fiction-insane and some are real-world-solid. This is probably the best this game has, all are very satisfying. Same weapon always comes in different variants, so different spices. - Enemies. Varied and good, they get more serious the more you progress. - Powerups. There are many and they are great roguelike powerups. - Prestige store? Maybe I'm telling the name wrong. You unlock a store were you can play new game modes for game currency (no real world $ exchange). This is good as lets you play INSANE game modes when the base game is getting slow. 100 hours and I'm beggining to play these. Also you never run out. - Reload mecanic. When you get used to it it's great. CONS: - Can't save and continue the run later, this sucks a little. A good run can go for 1,5 hours (for me) and sometimes I wish I could leave the game and continue at some other moment. - Boses. Are not bad but ... maybe they could be better. That's all. 10/10, one of the best games I have ever played. My favourite roguelike.
