Deserted

Deserted is a 3D action adventure with light RPG and narrative elements. After crash-landing on a planet in an unknown distant system, you begin a fight for survival as your mission captain takes his last breath. You explore dense forests, enormous spires and ancient ruins, uncovering secrets, lore and upgrades along the way.

Survival and combat

Survival plays a central role, but does not punish you as long as you keep your potion inventory stocked and upgrade your stats. Exploring rewards you with ingredients and skills you can upgrade. Fast-paced, strategic combat pits you against a range of enemies; a skill tree lets you build strategies to suit your combat style, while weapon and stat upgrades help you face stronger foes.

You can play the entire campaign in local co-op for up to two players, choosing either a female or male special operative.

Weapons and equipment

Your primary weapon is a Holo-Blade, an energy weapon constructed by a forearm-mounted module system that cuts through most matter. Secondary weapons include a handgun, automatic rifle and shotgun for long- and short-range combat. Grenades and other throwable gadgets can create powerful explosions, hit multiple enemies and break through obstructions to reveal hidden passages.

Equipping different modules gives you access to different skill trees, with varied upgrades and abilities. You can harvest resources and use the properties of plants and materials to craft healing potions, antidotes, grenades and gun batteries.

Companions and vehicles

Your mechanical companion, the A.T.0.M. (Advanced, Tactical, Operative, Module), can heal, scan, generate 3D maps and hack devices. Its guns also provide extra firepower in combat. Drakah is an ancient soul held in a remembrance stone; it lets you interact with alien technology, access forbidden areas and summon the spectral beast in combat.

The MECHA’s brute strength and the Speeder’s fast-paced chaos help you overcome hordes of enemies without taking a scratch.
