About Blackout Protocol
Blackout Protocol invites action lovers to a frenetic twin-stick shooter where 3 players will collaborate to eradicate a very real menace.

Shoot your way through hordes of creatures and use data cubes, credits and blueprints to upgrade your equipment at the next safe zone.. if you can reach it!
