In a distant universe, mindless hordes of monsters spew through rifts to invade worlds. The guardian System of the universe has enacted an emergency protocol, allowing people from non-magical universes to remotely pilot combat drones to fight the monsters and close the rifts. Mission Parameters Help a new scrapper base survive and grow while clearing a Dystopian tomb world. Should your drone be destroyed, a copy will be respawned with your progression intact, though loss of items and mana may be inevitable. To facilitate remote drone control, the System provides a mouse-driven text shell to input drone commands across the orthogonal universe connection. Note that due to relativistic phenomena, time effectively stops in the remote universe while the pilot makes decisions. Details Explore a hand-designed open world, with diverse biomes, locations, resources, anomalies, treasures, and dangers. Delve into post-apocalyptic magitech ruins, hunting monsters and scavenging materials to boost your faction's base, and absorbing various kinds of mana to fuel your progression. Do this alone, or join parties from your base that are focused on various missions, such as studying artifacts, collecting scrap, gathering mushrooms, mining, hacking doors, viewing distant zones, or searching for hidden objects. Earn faction prestige on base while helping research new tech levels, craft item supply, and construct upgrades. Earn System credits killing monsters and completing sector quests. Spend the prestige and credits on gear, consumables, and progression from the faction shop, or purchase room upgrade projects. Disrupt and exterminate a monster ecosystem that mindlessly attacks anything, including each other. Monsters will grow stronger over time, and will attempt to conquer other monster spawners. While your base starts in a less dangerous sector, it won’t stay that way forever. Close rifts to remove threats and ultimately win. Blast monsters with missile launchers, laser rifles, submachine guns, and other magitech weapons, or equip powerful catalysts to bolster innate magic spells. The world includes nine magic types plus physical damage, and also includes mechanics such as evasion, flying, accuracy, stamina, over-time status conditions, environments, armor-piercing, calorie burn, stealth, detection, and more. Exploit them all to defeat your enemies. Subjective time is simultaneous turn-based. Remember that while you’re doing things, the world is doing things too, and assume that whatever you can do, entities in the world can do too. Note that if you don’t want to compete with the members of your base, you can play in various modes such as Explorer, which removes all allied combat units, making exploring, exploiting, and exterminating entirely up to you.
