Synthetik: Legion Rising

Synthetik: Legion Rising is a shooter where you fight relentless opponents and bosses in environments that change from run to run. You can play alone or in 2-player online co-op, but death is permanent. Combat centers on detailed weapon mechanics, with a large range of weapons, items, perks and character upgrades to discover.

Weapon mechanics

You eject magazines and perform active reloads, while managing weapons that can jam or overheat. Recoil is affected by movement, and you can discard weapons or switch between different ammunition types. Precision is rewarded, including through headshots in the top-down perspective.

Gear and experimentation

You can combine gear in many ways, choosing approaches such as stealth, tactical play, relying on turrets, heavy weapons or a plasma blade. Gadgets can enable new playstyles and become much more powerful. The game has over 140 items, including Laser Mines, Turrets, Mind-Control, Psy Fields, Orbital Lasers, Pets and potions; you can carry up to 9 at once.

Classes and difficulty

You can level up and customize 8 class specializations: Riot Guard, Breacher, Sniper, Assassin, Raider, Heavy Gunner, Engineer and Demolisher. Each has its own weapon specializations, loadouts, benefits and perks. Research and class unlocks persist through death.

You can also combine 11 difficulty modifications independently to tailor a run, taking on greater risks and rewards or choosing a safer challenge.

Online co-op

In 2-player online co-op, you can share perks, items, buffs and loot with your partner—or shoot them.
