How it feels
A tense, tactical survival game where you command a squad on Mars, facing relentless alien and zombie threats with cooperative teamwork.

What players say
Players are split: some enjoy the tense co-op and story, but many cite game-breaking bugs, an enemy spam problem, and no updates since roughly 2020. The game is unplayable on AMD hardware, and solo players must wrestle with uncooperative bots.
