What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“At Volok our goal is creating a game in our vision, with room for the community to further shape it's future. We value all of our players, from casual to speed runenrs to streamers, and we want to hear from all of you to provide the best action possible.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Q2 2026”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“In the full game, we plan to include more biomes to explore, more bosses to annihilate, and more secrets to uncover. And because we like going overboard, we're planning some absurdly catastrophic XG weapons and augments that'll let you juice Animal Genetics to their xtreme potential. Early Access will give us time to smooth out the kinks, balance the chaos, and make sure your game-breaking builds are polished to a shine.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“After community feedback we overhauled the entire game, thus only one biome is released with more slated for the end of January. The first four animal powers are available, with most buffs and augs ready for play. We will update this section as more is released.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“No, the price will not change. When you buy now you get all the content we're releasing in early access, and the final product upon full release with any subsequent additions afterwards.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Test it, break it, shape it. We hold our community's feedback in high regard, always ready for intake and recalibrating to ensure we provide an engaging experience. We also encourage players to opt into the Beta branch to play the content we are currently working on.”

About This Game

WAKE UP. REALITY’S CRACKED.

Aliens have finally invaded, loud, mean, and not here for us. Earth has been scorched, defenses are obliterated, but the war isn’t over. What are the invaders after?

You are a C.U.S.T.O.M. soldier, engineered with the perfect balance of strength, aggression, and stupidity. Fuse with Animal Genetics, load up on high tech weaponry, and run throat first into danger.

Blast your way through sewer scum in New Los Angeles to the bloodied snows in Antarctica and more! Which timeline will bring forth the truth?

NO LIMITS ONLY XTREME GREATNESS. 

Clear waves, choose mutations, and morph your DNA to the extreme! Stack damage, hoard HP, size up your bullets, and more. Special gene augments crank your Animal Genetics to their evolutionary breaking point.

High-speed nuanced twin-stick action with melee, dodging, grenade cooking, animal DNA, and endless augment combos. Every button counts and every move has teeth.

Whatever keeps you alive is allowed, despite what Geneva says.

C.U.S.T.O.M.-IZE EVERYTHING. REGRET NOTHING.

Mod your weapons on the fly, pick the affix that fits your attitude, and become the problem. Master the Animal Power that accentuates your playstyle, because destruction should be custom-tailored.

On your missions through space and time, perfect your genetic signature until you’re a walking war crime.

SQUAD LOCKED. GUNS LOADED.

Squad up in 4-player co-op with your emotional support gremlins and jump right into the action. The game scales with your crew, so every run hits hard, stays fresh, and keeps you coming back for more.

Perfect for tryhards and button-mashers alike because death’s a lot less lonely with friends.

TEST IT. BREAK IT. SHAPE IT.

Your voice shapes the game. We listen, tweak fast, and update even faster.

Join early. Make it yours.

CRACK THE PLANET. PUNCH SOME ALIENS.

Dive into the lurch with ever changing paths of chaos, making every run unique. Pull the thread with help from unlikely allies. Will you merely scrape the surface, or delve deeper into the conspiracy? Every run brings you closer to the truth!

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Chimera C.U.S.T.O.M. XG has depictions of guns, explosions, and melee. There is no depiction of blood or injury. There is some crude language and/or swearing by NPCs.
