How it feels

You pilot a powerful mech suit to build a base, survive alien threats, and explore a hostile planet.

What players say

Players praise the clever mix of tower defense, base building and ARPG combat, especially in co-op. But many report that the campaign starts strong then turns into a punishing grind with excessive attacks and resource costs, and a buggy Rift Stabilizer sequence can ruin the final hours. Performance problems in large bases and a long-standing multi-monitor bug also frustrate.
