Factorized

Factorized is a side-scrolling game about taking revenge on an evil AI. You fight through its factory, destroy its machines and battle robotic and non-robotic enemies on the way to The Reconstructor.

Weapons and movement

You use four weapons: a pistol, a shotgun, a drill and a fourth weapon whose identity is kept as a spoiler. The pistol is accurate but is quickly outmatched in damage per second by the shotgun, which deals most of your close-range damage. The drill can take down enemies in one hit and bypasses shields and healing radiuses. The fourth weapon is gimmicky, but has situations where it outperforms the others. Two movement abilities can be unlocked.

Areas and challenges

The campaign has five main areas and two hidden areas, five main bosses and three additional hidden bosses. It has two endings and starts with two difficulty settings, with two more available to unlock. Four additional game modes are separate from the campaign.

Additional content

The game includes a 24-song original soundtrack and Steam achievements. A partridge in a pear tree is not included in the game, though one is said to be waiting just outside the starting area.
