. . A catastrophic event has knocked you out during the first day on the job… you wake up equipped with a heavy-grade exoskeleton, in a destroyed section of the complex. Robots gone haywire, insane augmented co-workers and rogue AI - everything wants you dead. . . Defy deadly enemies and huge bosses in tight, visceral melee combat. Target and slice specific limbs off your foes, with a next-gen loot system where you loot what you dismember. Equip, upgrade and craft new weapons and armors sliced from enemies, and make yourself stronger through a fresh take on leveling-up.. . .
You should pick up this game if.... - you like Dark Souls (or souls-like) games - you like a BIG challenges and learning from your mistakes and can learn to be patient! - you like single player.... no multi player ;( - you do not want your hand held. you learn as you go!! you don't get anything spoon fed to you except for the very basics - you like dystopian futuristic settings - you like cutting off limbs in brutal fashion, and using said limbs to craft gear for your awesome character - you don't have hundreds of hours to play videogames (the game is relatively short, but that's a good thing in my book) You may not like this game if..... - you are all about story (i personally like the story, but its one of those things you have to go searching for...and even then it doesn't make the most sense) It's ok, not the best. - you are looking for a 'chill' game. You HAVE to pay attention in this game or you will Die....A LOT. - you are looking for multiplayer or PVP.....none here - you hate dark souls or souls-like games I hope this has been helpfull.
A fantastic game. I enjoyed everything from the gameplay, aesthetics, to the combat and even the story. It's very well put together and a big step in the right direction for Deck 13 Interactive (who also made Lords of the Fallen). It's one of those few games that sticks with you....or at least it did with me, and therefore I highly recommend it.

Is it as good as Darkborne? No. Is it just a rip-off of Blood Souls? No. Is it a decent game with a similar "what is this messed up world why is everyone insane/trying to kill me ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I just lost 20,000 totally-not-souls" atmosphere and a couple unique mechanics that make it both familiar and fresh? Yes. 8/10
