Gemini: Binary Conflict

Gemini: Binary Conflict is a class-based first-person shooter set in an ongoing interplanetary war. You choose a side and fight across the distinct biomes of two planets in multiplayer PvP for up to 16 players, co-op for up to five, or offline modes with AI bots.

The war between worlds

The Avians, a bird-like species, occupy their original home world. Their distant cousins, the reptilian Trivexians, colonised its planetary twin. Both worlds once had temperate climates and plentiful resources, but the Avians maintained and protected their biosphere while a climate catastrophe left the Trivexian world an arid, near-lifeless desert. The two species now fight over resources across a variety of environments and battle types.

Classes and combat

You can play as one of five classes: Hunter, BioTech, Enforcer, Ranger and Knight. Each has its own abilities and weapons, and can be customised with different loadouts that support multiple play styles. The game includes unconventional weapons, equipment and armour, with examples such as slinging black holes, redirecting projectiles around corners and fighting giant robots or gunships.

Armour is modular and can be customised by mixing character parts and choosing colours and combinations. It protects different body regions independently, and damage can expose the head, chest or individual limbs. Players can also be dismembered, though gore can be disabled in the settings.

Game modes

PvP modes include classic Team Deathmatch and Free-for-All, as well as Warpath. In Warpath, you work with AI androids to destroy and capture enemy bases while defending your own. Destroying a base's core lets your team capture it and unlocks access to the next base. You can build turrets, barricades, generators and dispensers to protect your core.

The two co-op modes are Incursion and Holdout. In Incursion, your squad infiltrates an enemy stronghold, completes mission objectives, fights a boss and reaches the final extraction. You can use stealth or direct combat, and your choices about which fortifications to destroy affect the rest of the mission. In Holdout, you defend an objective against increasingly difficult enemy waves and boss fights. It is not endless: collect enough repair modules during the waves and fully repair your base to succeed. Boss waves provide support modules for building defences and upgrades, including sentry turrets, friendly super androids and health or damage boosters.

Bots and progression

Every game mode supports AI bots, so you can play alone or with other players. Bots can customise themselves, equip and use any weapon, armour set or equipment, capture and protect objectives, buy and repair structures, make decisions and take flanking routes.

You earn experience to level up classes and unlock armour cosmetics, along with weapon and equipment sidegrades. Progress carries on both online and offline. You can also customise your appearance with colour options and modular armour combinations.
