About the game
Explore Terminus and send a squad of robots into outposts consumed by THE NADIR, recover what you need, and search beneath the surface for valuable Veyrite. Restore outposts and mining infrastructure, scan for rich deposits, and retreat before THE NADIR overwhelm your squad. Return another day with better preparation, a different squad, or a different plan.
ASSEMBLE
Recover chassis, specialization modules, abilities, chips, and other resources during expeditions. Use what you find to customize Strikers and Vanguards, then assemble a versatile squad capable of handling a wide range of expeditions.
Every robot brings different combat tools, task capabilities, carrying capacity, energy cost, and signature. Each expedition may require a different squad of robots.
Expand your robot roster by finding new robots on expeditions and repair damaged units between expeditions.
DEPLOY
Explore a Nadir-infested world to restore lost outposts, salvage resources, analyze biological growth, and rescue survivors.
Fight the Nadir in turn-based combat. Use positioning, robot abilities, explosives, and activate defensive systems to control the battlefield.
The longer you stay, the more aggressive THE NADIR become. Complete critical Tasks, prepare for incoming attacks, extract before your squad is overrun, and return another day. Or don’t. You decide.
MINE
Scan underground to detect Veyrite deposits and fulfill your quota.
Stay longer to scan for better deposits while defending against THE NADIR.
Reactivate the mining systems and permanently secure an outpost to produce Veyrite.
ENDURE
Assign survivors to generate power, repair robots, research technologies, build station upgrades, produce repair kits, grow food, or recover from exhaustion.
Manage hunger, fatigue, and injuries of your survivors and crew pressure.
Find new survivors with traits that affect the base and your expeditions. Sometimes saving one person means leaving another behind.
Meet Veyrite quota deadlines set by Helvern.
UNCOVER
Follow Ada Dupont’s journal to discover what happened on Terminus.
Research the Nadir, restore abandoned infrastructure, establish safe zones, and uncover Helvern's secrets.
Respond to sudden homebase events where every solution costs resources, time, or the health of your survivors.
