5089: The Action RPG

5089: The Action RPG takes place on planet Xax, 2,000 years after 3089. Following mysterious events in 4089, the Overlord has been missing for a millennium, leaving experimental robots to continue their programmed war. Without the Overlord to repair the damage, Xax has fallen into chaos and dereliction, while a new power has emerged. Your presence can change the planet’s fate.

You can shoot, sneak, build, talk, fight with blades, trade, fly, swing, hover, scavenge, teleport and conquer across an endlessly generated planet. The game can also be played with a friend in two-player co-op. It reworks 3089 and does not require the original game.

Story and interaction

A dialogue system lets you talk with other robots and make choices that have consequences. The game also adds new quest types and story details. Its more than 130 robot quotes include an incomplete attribution in the feature description.

Reclaim planet Xax

Xax’s infrastructure is crumbling. A conversion mechanic lets you reclaim and destroy the enemy to improve it. The planet’s advanced terrain generation places buildings in flatter areas and creates smoother roads.

Robots and equipment

New content includes robot types, buildings, an automatic weapon, a gravity utility and an enemy shield system. You can customize item-part colors, compare the stats of two items and preview how one part will integrate with another. Two additional starting classes unlock when you beat the game.

Systems and presentation

The game revises its economy, item stats, difficulty curve and aiming system. It also adds textures, shaders, revised lighting, improved animations and additional models, alongside an original soundtrack by Sorath72.

Its mechanics are introduced more clearly through improved in-game tips, a restructured heads-up display with clearer labels, item-use instructions in the inventory and outlines that make item customization easier.
