The story

You wake on a trash heap at the bottom of a megacity. No memory. A junk pistol. And a voice in your skull that seems to be on your side. Somebody threw you away. Time to find out who.

IMPLANT // FEEDLINK: UNSTABLE

You wake under a mountain of refuse.

STATIC> ...SIG—NAL... RE-ESTABLISHED

A pistol. Rusted, taped, barely a weapon.

STATIC> It'll do. Point the loud end at them.

// FEATURES

Deep, not busy

Real depth in stats, loot, crafting and crew, and every screen readable in seconds. Nothing demands constant tapping.

01

Fights that keep going

Your crew auto-battles while you plan the next move, and keeps earning while you're away.

02

Loot that gets cooler

Six rarities, rolled affixes and a bag that fills fast. Scrap the junk anywhere and set rules to do it for you.

03

The implant is you

Repair the broken implant in your skull, upgrade it through tiers, and fit cyberware, mods and sockets at the Bench.

04

Build a crew

Story companions with their own secrets, plus mercenaries recruited over the Netcall. Bond with them, and maybe more.

05

Breach the 'net

Netrun is a turn-based grid hack for caches, doors and sealed places the map won't otherwise give up.

06

Bosses with a plan

Telegraphed attacks, cover to duck behind and hotspots to hack. Play them hands-on, or let the voice in your head help.

07

A city that rewards curiosity

A map of connected places under fog, with secrets around the edges and one secret bigger than the rest.

08

Story rides alongside

A live story feed and full comic pages that tell the story without stopping the fight.

// LOOT

From junk to Artifact

Your starting pistol is junk. Everything after that is a step up. Every item rolls its own stats, and the rarest drops are one-of-a-kind Artifacts with their own stories.

  1. JunkWhere you start
  2. Common1 affix
  3. Rare2 affixes
  4. Epic3 affixes
  5. Legendary4 affixes
  6. ArtifactOne of a kind

// CREW

Nobody gets out alone

Each companion joins through the story, fights in their own way and carries a secret of their own.

In your head

The Static

The voice in your implant. Dry, protective, and missing as much memory as you are.
