Synthetik: Arena

SYNTHETIK: Arena is a standalone expansion to the top-down shooter SYNTHETIK. In 1985, the AI servants of robotics leader Kaida Corporation form the Machine Legion and set out to destroy humanity. You awaken in Kaida Corp. Headquarters as the human consciousness inside a forgotten Android prototype, the last obstacle preventing the Legion from unleashing the Heart of Armageddon. Fight through the headquarters, defeat its enemy battalions and try to stop the Legion.

Weapon mechanics

Combat centers on detailed weapon handling. You eject magazines and actively reload, manage weapons that can jam or build up heat, control movement-based recoil, and discard weapons or switch between different ammunition types. Precision and mastery are rewarded, and the game brings headshots to a top-down perspective.

Challenges and upgrades

You face relentless opponents across five challenges. The game offers many dozens of weapons, items, perks and character upgrades, with customization that supports different playstyles and experimentation.

Two-player co-op

You can fight alone or play online co-op with one other player. In co-op, you can share perks, items, buffs and loot with your partner, or fire at them.

The machine god

After you defeat the Machine Legion's Last Defender, you are thrown into your Android subconscious. To escape, you must face the challenges of the machine god Zir.
