ReSetna

ReSetna is an action-focused metroidvania about a battle-forged warrior awakened with a mission. You fight through the ruined, post-apocalyptic world of Polis and other worlds made of data and circuits, uncovering secrets about the past and deciding whether the future is worth saving.

Story and world

Polis was once inhabited by humans. As you progress, you discover unknown dimensions, new elements and distinct dystopian zones, including the haunting remnants of Polis_13 and the toxic expanses of Acidia. Each zone contains secrets, challenges and lore, with clues delivered through the environment and cryptic communications.

The world’s history is pieced together through exploration. Every machine is an enemy, and each zone holds keys to the past and hints of the future.

Combat and exploration

You face a wide array of enemies and must adapt your strategy and refine your combat skills. Precision fighting uses parries and weapon switching, while tactical thinking helps you make use of ReSetna’s arsenal. The seven demanding districts feature challenging terrain, platforming, mechanisms and hazards, as well as hidden rooms and secret passages with rewards and further insight into the world’s history.

IXA and upgrades

ReSetna’s loyal drone companion IXA can heal her in critical moments and hack enemies. You customize ReSetna’s abilities with a chip-based upgrade system inspired by Tetris, choosing upgrades for her combat techniques and ability to manipulate the environment. These choices affect her development and how she overcomes obstacles.

Boss battles

Each district’s formidable bosses test your skills in intense showdowns. You need a sound strategy, must exploit their weaknesses and can use upgrades to survive; each boss has abilities that require you to stay alert.
