Survive the Onslaught. Grow your Mercenary Army. Unleash the Havoc!

In a world threatened by evil M.E.G.A. Corp.’s private robot army, the last bastion of hope for mankind is a bunch of armed lunatics who signed up for a mercenary job. And who better to lead them than a disposable clone with an unpredictable set of special traits? Welcome to your new assignment, Commander.

Take the battle to the enemy and build your underfunded, over-ambitious outfit into an apocalyptic war machine that rids the world of evil.

With all chances stacked against your mercenary operation, this isn’t about glory. This is about the loot!

Every Commander is created from a set of randomly selected traits. Can you lead your squad to victory with a hawk-eyed, megalomaniac Infiltrator? Or take on the enemy alone with a nocturnal, greedy One-Man Army? How about an alert, vampiric Ninja?

Each combination of traits yields a unique run with its own set of challenges, mechanics, and surprising synergies.

Assemble your team of mercenaries from a roster of vigorous fighters. Each Merc totes their own arsenal and behavior. Discover their unique mechanics, and rain devastation upon your enemies.

Each Merc and Gear item comes with individual skill trees and powerful synergies. Keep your mercs' strengths and weaknesses in mind as you pick the right gear for your squad, and watch the mayhem unfold!

Navigate the procedurally generated map in each operation and capture different objectives to call in reinforcements or sack valuable loot. But be quick, the clock is ticking. Each minute wasted on the battlefield is punished with more and stronger enemies.

Call in your extraction point and defend it to make it out alive. Or survive long enough and risk facing a dangerous final boss. If you die you lose your loot, but if you survive you keep everything and gain survivor bonuses for your mercs on your next operation.

Invest your loot to hire new Mercs, purchase new Gear, expand your bunker HQ for powerful upgrades, or research new traits for your commander clones.

Focus on movement, or direct your squad with tactical abilities, or actively fight in the battle – each Commander can offer a completely different play style. Experiment and find your optimal Gear-and-Merc combinations. With every map also being generated differently, no two runs will ever be the same.

You've been the bullet hell. Now get ready to command the bullet hell!
