Break into the Circuit

The Circuit is an ancient energy grid the size of a star system. It overloaded long ago, and its automated defenses jammed in lockdown: every gate is sealed and anything that moves is attacked. The fleets sent before you were torn apart, and the grid now builds its Scrap Drones from their wreckage.

You fly an interceptor powered by the Core, an energy cell stolen from the grid itself. Ride its current, turn it into weapons, and push deeper with every run. When your hull is destroyed, an Emergency Transmission carries your Nanomatter home. The breach remains, and the next hull flies back in stronger.

Two ways to play

Operations: a six-stage campaign from the floating gates of Threshold to the heart of the grid at Rift Nexus. Every stage has its own layout, rewards and guardians, and clears unlock new weapons and Fusion recipes. Play solo or bring your squad.

Endless: survive as long as you can while the waves keep escalating, and chase the top of the Steam leaderboards.

Fly with your squad

Team up with up to four pilots in online co-op. Invite friends through Steam, share the fight, and pull downed teammates back into it with Energy Transfer revives.

Build a ship that breaks the grid

Fusions: unlock Fusion recipes in Operations, then max out two weapons and fuse them into one of 36 Fusion weapons, from orbiting Ion Satellites to the Quasar Rupture.

Core Modules and Core Overrides: pick reactor systems mid-run and spin the Core Override machine for rare rewards.

Upgrades: spend Nanomatter and Meta Shards on a permanent upgrade tree between runs.

Guardians

Vast defense constructs guard the way in: The Gatekeeper, The Eraser, The Wreck and The Lock. Learn their patterns, break their defenses and take what they protect.
