About This Game

Pilot a Multi Axis Vehicle (MAV) with six degrees of freedom in a co-op roguelite shooter. Fight through procedural dungeons and collect salvage, then select the best weapons, equipment, and tactical abilities between levels to build out your strongest run. Make your decisions quickly: push for another drop or choose to run for your life before the Umbra closes in.
