The latest release introduces two distinct roguelite/survival mode combat paths: Mech and Bio.

Choose Mech for precision firepower, drones, missiles, turrets, and high-tech destruction.

Choose Bio for spores, organic weapons, strange growths, living projectiles, and chaotic alien power.

Each path changes how you build, fight, upgrade, and survive. Whether you prefer clean mechanical control or unstable biological mayhem, every run now gives you a bigger choice about how you want to play.

This update also expands the roguelite mode with new weapons, new upgrade decisions, and more variety between runs.

Two paths. One fight for survival.

Jump in and choose your side.
