Outer Terror

Outer Terror is a horde shooter in which you fight seemingly endless waves of cosmic creatures across five horror-story chapters. Explore overrun cities and other large maps, search for treasures and survivor holdouts, help the few survivors you find, and face bosses, elite creatures, ghouls, robots and otherworldly abominations. You can play as one of 10 characters, each with signature weapons, in solo play or co-op.

Fight and explore

As you progress, enemies become more difficult, while you can upgrade your weapons and gain new weapons and powers. Each map contains hidden items and treasures, and exploration can lead to boss encounters. The enemy hordes include creatures such as vampiric polar bears, mangled pet rabbits and sentient toasters.

Five horror stories

The chapters draw on B-movies and classic horror comics, with art by digital artist Joe Roman (Chito). Their stories follow survivors facing cosmic threats, hostile machines and creatures in settings ranging from an industrial New York Cityscape to a dark Alaskan town.

• Remnant: Beyond Gray Death: The Crying God envelops Earth's Moon, promising peace and justice to those who join it in body and mind. Those who refuse are turned into human meat fungus and must struggle to survive another night.
• Death Crawl: Self-reproducing nanobots created to address climate change and help with everyday life become sentient, enslave humanity and complain about fake news. Two exiles hide in shipping containers in an abandoned industrial New York Cityscape while trying to rescue their loved ones.
• Humans are Food: On the planet XNAOTNENVOW, a processing plant in a city-sized underground bunker refines a peculiar kind of meat. Samad, a gifted teenage prisoner, and Cassie, an ex-combat veteran turned mercenary, fight their way back to the surface.
• Shroud of Terror: In a small northern Alaskan town, months of darkness begin after the sun sets. A research team discovers a mysterious tomb that appears to be feeding, while survivors shelter in a research center as the town is overrun, temperatures drop and fuel runs low.
• Gray Hell: After fleeing the horrors of the Las Vegas Strip, a country boy and an insane circus performer are stranded by a broken-down car. They head into the desert and enter the Dark Dimension, bringing its nightmares into their world.
