Raid, loot, and get out alive
You load in with your own gear, push through one of five hazardous instances, and try to leave with more than you brought. Enemy placement, chest locations, and map layout shuffle every run, so the same raid never plays out twice. Deep inside waits a mutant boss with its own skills and attack patterns, and beating it can drop gear that changes how you fight. Die in there and the loot stays there. That math makes every full backpack feel heavy in the best way.
A shelter that grows into a town
Between raids you build. You start with a rough shelter on barren ground and work up toward something closer to a fortress, gathering scrap and resources from the wasteland to get there. Invite NPC residents with their own needs: blacksmiths want forges, merchants want trade halls, and upgraded houses turn your refuge into a busy little town. Other players can visit, browse your goods, and trade in your market, so a well-built base doubles as a shop and a showpiece.
Good to know before you drop in?
Can you play it with friends?
Yes. You can explore the open wasteland with friends, team up for instance raids and boss fights, and visit each other's shelters to browse and trade.
What happens to rare loot you extract?
Rare items become Steam inventory items. You can sell them through the built-in store system to other players, with prices set by real supply and demand.
Are weapons found or made?
Made. Every weapon is forged by hand from scrap, with customizable stats shaped in your workshop, and weapons gain combat experience the longer you use them.
Can you get a companion?
Yes. Certain mutant creatures can be tamed into companions for the wasteland, and owning two or more lets you breed them for stronger traits or unexpected mixed abilities.
