About This Game

THEIR ARMY. YOUR WEAPON.

The Grid has marked you for deletion. Its machines are closing in, and the Wardens guard the way to the system at its heart. Hack your enemies, steal their firepower, and make the army sent to destroy you fight at your side.

BUILD YOUR BOTNET

Turn a Sentinel into your turret. Recruit support machines to strengthen your squad. Combine stolen enemy roles with your own upgrades to take on the growing swarm. Protect your allies, replace your losses, and fight your way through five grids to decide the system's fate.

Mark a threat. Hack it. Turn its weapon against the swarm.

CHOOSE YOUR PATH

At containment relays, choose Cleanse or Absorb. Cleanse lets your botnet overclock alongside you during Demon Mode. Absorb feeds your own power by consuming spare recruits. Rising corruption brings hunters and weaker repairs.

Change direction at later relays before committing to your final path. Your choices shape your powers and the finale. Will you free the Grid, or claim its command?

REWRITE YOUR BUILD

Install Neural Patches to shape your weapons, movement, survival and botnet. Pick more shots, more reach, stronger defences or room for another machine. Matching conversions can evolve a recruit. Build around the machines you steal and the fights ahead.

BECOME THE GRID DEMON

Conversions charge Demon Mode. Hold that power until the moment is yours, then unleash it into the swarm. Your chosen path changes what that surge means for you and the machines at your side.

Charge Demon Mode through conversions, then unleash it when the swarm closes in.

BREAK THE WARDENS

Fight through five grids with changing enemies, objectives and industrial environments. Escape the Spider Queen's web. Read the Forge Warden's landing. Push through the Bulkhead and Orbit Blade, then confront Grid Demon at the Nexus. Break or hijack Warden hardware to create an opening.

Secure sectors and return from your last checkpoint. The next attempt begins with ground already taken.

Read the Queen's warning, dodge the web and return fire.
