Play Overview
To complete each level, you must defeat a variety of enemies using an array of weapons, which must be found and enabled before use. As you journey you need to collect cores, shards and fragments that enable you to add structures, buy materials and upgrade weapons. As you progress you can revisit levels and choose tougher challenges for higher rewards.
The result is a beautiful looking game, with a razor-sharp wit and a fascinating backstory. As you journey through the game, the world literally drops into place and you unlock a secret history, finding out just what went wrong here and how you can play a role in building a different future.
