Made in partnership with Poppy Works and the team behind the renowned Devil Engine, Slave Zero™ X features multiple gameplay modes and a variety of futuristic 2.5D dystopian urban levels to battle through. Players will string together brutal combos and fight through waves of genetically enhanced biopunk opponents — all to the tune of a gnarly synth soundtrack.

Features of Slave Zero™ X include:
Different Modes to Mutilate: Play through the story, build your combo-crushing skills in training mode, or test your might in the post-story Bloody Palace Mode
Hack-n-Slash ‘n Slash ‘n Slash…: Chain together lethal attack combos with your sword and an array of explosive ordinance while leaping, sprinting, and flipping your way through a grim biopunk world
An Environment Worthy of H.R. Giger: Battle your way through massive levels, and boss-rushes in a dynamic 2.5D world
Brutal Battles and Cutthroat Missions: Conquer mini-bosses and climactic arch-villains in unforgettable combat sequences
Blood-Soaked and Synth-Soaked: Immerse yourself in a world of heavy Drum ‘n Bass and industrial tracks that get more intense as the action heats up
