Project Nekrios

Hold the line at the edge of Nekrios

Something is coming for the station. Your crew woke in the cloning pods of a derelict outpost orbiting the planet Nekrios, with the lights dead, the windows breached and the hull crawling with things that used to be the last crew. Barricade, scavenge, rebuild and fight to see how many waves you can survive.

Play solo or bring up to three friends. Every round the aliens come harder, and the station only grows if you keep it standing.

Fight

• Wave after wave of Crawlers that skitter across floors, walls and ceilings, split apart when they die, and tear through your barricades plate by plate.
  
• Husks: what's left of the last crew, shambling through the halls in their ruined suits.
  
• The Stalker: a hunter that drains the station's power, plunges it into darkness and picks off anyone who strays.
  
• Swarm rounds that bury the station in bodies.
  
• Five weapons to master: the Laser Pistol, Stinger SMG, Pulse Rifle, Scatter Gun and the belt-fed Mauler LMG, plus a melee bash for when they get too close.

Scavenge

• Tractor beams pull salvage out of the wreckage drifting past the station: steel, copper and precious fuel rods.
  
• Weld the windows shut between waves, and choose whether to repair or to rebuild.
  
• Fuel the reactor to bring the power back on, or fight in the dark by helmet lamp.

Rebuild

• Expand the station room by room: a Power Generator, an Armory with its Weapon Fabricator and Ammo Press, a Med Bay, a Bio Research lab and the Quantum Lab.
  
• Upgrade your crew at the Vitals Augmenter and arm yourselves with new weapons.
  
• Empower your guns with alien biology at the Alien Forge.
  
• Step through the Quantum Lab's teleporter to the Nexus, if you dare.

Survive together

• 1–4 player online co-op through Steam: invite your friends straight into your lobby.
  
• Fallen crew are re-cloned when a wave is cleared, so the run only ends if everyone goes down.
  
• A dark, atmospheric station that falls apart around you, with flickering lights, groaning metal and things moving in the vents.
