Defectant

Defectant is a modular action RPG set in the Pit, a brutal region where beings assembled from leftover parts are forced to fight for sport. You build your character by attaching parts such as eyes, legs, jetpacks and cannons. Each part has properties that affect how you fight, move and survive, and you can collect parts from defeated enemies to upgrade yourself.

Prepare for the fights

Losing a match does not kill you, but climbing the ranks takes more than strength. You can train, scout opponents, exploit their weaknesses, bribe them or sabotage them. What you do off-stage matters as much as the fight itself.

Survive in the Pit

You and potentially your team must find food, or oil for an engine, and somewhere to live, such as a roof or a processor. You can earn prize money through post-insurance and taxation, or find other means of support. Keeping yourself in prime condition before a fight is as important as the fight itself.

Other gladiators face the same struggles. Over time, they form factions, make uneasy alliances and pursue their own goals. You can join them to gain favor or follow your own path: rise through the ranks to earn freedom, build power within the Pit or seek another way to escape.

Character assembly

The free demo includes a modular assembly system with a variety of parts. You can also export your custom character as a preset file for use in later releases.
