Unit 4

Unit 4 is a platforming adventure about a team of heroes whose home planet is invaded by an alien army that steals their tribe’s sacred artifact. Similar thefts are reported on other planets, and without the artifacts’ power, the solar system will decay. You travel across the galaxy to uncover the reason for the invasion and recover the artifacts before the system collapses.

Explore the galaxy

In single-player mode, you explore 15 planets across three different worlds to fight for. The galaxy contains strange creatures, different cultures, populations, unusual animal species and galactic stores. Your journey includes unique missions, trade and exploration, with six bosses standing in your way.

Combine your abilities

You control an elite squad of agents, each with their own abilities. A character-swap mechanic lets you combine their effects, including when playing alone, creating different ways to approach action and puzzles. For example, Red can dash to propel another character across a wide gap, while Green’s grappling hook can attach to distant characters or objects. You might use Blue’s double jump, switch to Red to dash, then change to Green to grapple onto a faraway object and reach higher ground.

Play together

Cooperative play supports up to four players. With two to four players, the agents’ abilities can be combined in further ways. You can also customize the characters and ship.

Minigames and challenge

You can unlock three minigames, which become playable as standalone games once the main game is complete. They include driving a scooter in space and exploring the depths of mysterious oceans on distant planets. The platforming has a high level of difficulty, in keeping with the classic games it pays homage to, and includes fights with huge bosses.
