The game offers challenging combat with smart, coordinated enemies, and creative problem-solving with environmental puzzles, gadgets, physics interactions, and telekinetic abilities.

The demo allows players to build their playstyle using unique melee and ranged weapons, tactical devices, mobility gadgets, and powerful alien tech.
