Grid Demon

THE GRID WANTS YOU ERASED

You are an intruder in a machine-controlled world. Five grids stand between you and the system at their heart, each guarded by a Warden. Their army is closing in. Make it fight for you.

Aim your way. Aim and fire manually with a mouse or controller, or use automatic aim and fire. Dodge, dash and command your stolen machines in either mode.

TURN THE SWARM AGAINST ITSELF

Kills charge your Hack. Cycle targets to choose a recruit, then bring the marked machine down. Its role becomes part of your botnet: a Sentinel becomes your turret, while support machines strengthen your squad. Protect your recruits, replace losses and combine different roles to answer the next threat.

Mark a threat. Hack it. Turn its weapon against the swarm.

CHOOSE YOUR PATH

At containment relays, choose Cleanse or Absorb. Cleanse lets your botnet overclock alongside you during Demon Mode. Absorb feeds your own power by consuming spare recruits. Rising corruption brings hunters and weaker repairs.

Change direction at later relays before committing to your final path. Your choices shape your powers and the finale. Will you free the Grid, or claim its command?

REWRITE YOUR BUILD

Install Neural Patches to shape your weapons, movement, survival and botnet. Pick more shots, more reach, stronger defences or room for another machine. Matching conversions can evolve a recruit. Build around the machines you steal and the fights ahead.

BECOME THE GRID DEMON

Conversions charge Demon Mode. Hold that power until the moment is yours, then unleash it into the swarm. Your chosen path changes what that surge means for you and the machines at your side.

Charge Demon Mode through conversions, then unleash it when the swarm closes in.

BREAK THE WARDENS

Fight through five grids with changing enemies, objectives and industrial environments. Escape the Spider Queen's web. Read the Forge Warden's landing. Push through the Bulkhead and Orbit Blade, then confront Grid Demon at the Nexus. Break or hijack Warden hardware to create an opening.

Secure sectors and return from your last checkpoint. The next attempt begins with ground already taken.

Read the Queen's warning, dodge the web and return fire.
