SELECT YOUR OWN UNIQUE PLAYSTYLE

Become the ultimate tactical operative by selecting your android body from one of three distinctive classes: Soldier, Ninja, or Hacker, tailored to your preferred playstyle. Each one has their specialities, but which suits your style?

THE SOLDIER

A combat specialist and an expert with all kinds of weaponry, the Soldier is the definition of versatility. With a higher health pool than the other classes and a protective energy shield that deflects incoming attacks, they can take much more damage and stay in the fight for longer.

With a close range Energy Hammer, the Soldier can knockback opponents if they get too close, and cause massive damage.

THE NINJA

A master of surprise hit-and-run style attacks, the Ninja moves faster and is more nimble than other classes. They will also have an extra dodge charge, allowing them to get out of trouble with ease. With an invisible stealth cloak, the Ninja is able to hide from enemies while preparing for a devastating sneak attack.

Utilising a katana, the Ninja can melee attack with a quick 3-hit combo, where the final blow deals double damage.

THE HACKER

An infiltration and subversion specialist, the Hacker can employ new strategies such as hacking enemies to fight on their side, but is the most physically weak. The Hacker can overload enemies cores to deal big damage, but the larger the target, the more special energy is used.

Without a close ranged weapon, the Hacker instead uses a shock blast attack, dealing damage to all enemies nearby.

PLAY SOLO OR WITH UP TO TWO FRIENDS!
Take on the rogue AI together with up to three players in online multiplayer. Coordinate your tactics and battle plan as you attempt to reset an AI gone rogue!
