This Microsoft exclusive from new Swedish indie studio Neon Giant is set in a cyberpunk metropolis dominated by a megacorporation (The Ascent Group) that owns everything and everyone—that is, until the company mysteriously collapses, leaving the world in chaos and a number of crime syndicates and hostile corporations to battle for dominance. Gameplay blends action and RPG elements and can be enjoyed solo or with up to three other players in online or local co-op. Explore vertical districts (where destructible environments show the effects of errant gunfire) populated by a blend of humans and aliens, and loot your enemies to upgrade your gear.
