THE DEAD ARE RAINING FROM THE SKY

Defend a neon cyberpunk district from infected raining from a breached corporate lab. In this fast first-person action roguelike, you must intercept falling threats, protect humans, and keep the district from collapsing.

Build your firepower, strengthen your defenses, and survive the seven-wave assignment.

BUILD YOUR DEFENDER

Choose your approach: control the airspace with Skyguard’s rifle, crush close-range threats with Breacher’s shotgun, or line up precise shots with Deadeye’s hand cannon.

Start with normal attacks and Focus. Spend Upgrade Tokens between waves or floors to learn and rank up active skills, passives and masteries, or install stat-boosting augments. Mix skills within your class and select the active attack you want to use. Coins buy supplies, equipment and district systems. Skills lists your abilities, Inventory your gear, and Stats their combined effects.

Rare Recovered Tech grants a free upgrade for the current run.

PROTECT THE RESCUE GRID

Your four rescue drones move the Rescue Grid automatically to catch falling humans. Collect the Coins earned from rescues and spend them in the System Shop on equipment, rescue drones, and district repairs.

Defeated infected drop Bio-Samples. Collect enough to fill your XP bar and level up. Each level-up earns one Upgrade Token to spend on Level-Up upgrades between waves. Later levels need more samples. Your level, currencies, and upgrades last for the current run.

NEW: TAKE THE FIGHT INSIDE

Infiltrate Explore dark floors inside the Scraper with limited ammunition. On regular floors, find the exit elevator and choose when to extract. Meet the minimum required eliminations to leave without district damage, even if infected remain. Extracting earlier puts the district at risk. Stay for Coins and Elowen's keepsakes, but random encounters can drain your remaining health and ammunition.

Between floors, spend Coins on supplies and Upgrade Tokens on upgrades. Elowen cures ailments in the service bay and rewards returned keepsakes with rare upgrades.

Try the first three floors with Skyguard, Breacher and Deadeye. The full game includes six floors and all four Defender classes.

BEND TIME. RETURN FIRE.

Activate Focus to slow time; choose Toggle or Hold in settings. After learning an active skill, attack during Focus to use your selected skill. Special attacks spend extra Focus in addition to its steady drain. Dash to reposition and parry hostile projectiles with your attacks.

SURVIVE THE SHIFT

Face increasingly dangerous waves of infected and a final assault on Wave 7. Prioritize threats and protect the grid: infected that land in it become Overcharged. Certain enemy projectiles can Overcharge them too.

Survive the assignment, review your results, and try another class or build.
