The Gameplay
Set in a vibrant dystopian world, a mysterious natural disaster known as the Hollows has left the world disease-ridden and full of chaos. The city of New Eridu is the last remaining oasis, a safe haven of technology, and home to dangerous factions that are learning to co-exist with the deadly Hollows.
Play as a Proxy, tasked with maintaining the factions, ensuring they remain peaceful to bring the Hollows and New Eridu closer together. To do this, you’ll need to create the ultimate squad, utilising powerful basic, special, and chain attacks, as you fight to protect this post-apocalyptic world. Along the way, you’ll soon uncover Eridu’s dark secrets which might just change the fate of humanity completely.
Each of your military assaults will put your combat skills to the test as no two battles or opponents will be the same.
