Return to your home planet after 200 years of space travel in this atmospheric, art-driven adventure. Shoot, slash, and roll your way through dangerous enemies and ancient bosses, purchase items and unlock powerful weapons, and explore your unfamiliar home for parts to repair your ship.

You left the planet 200 years ago in search of a new life on the colonies, now you've returned against your will and must fight to survive in the post-apocalyptic world you once called home.

As you explore the world, you'll encounter different enemies and bosses soaked with lore. Slaying them can reward you with new grimoire, relic era currency, parts for your ship, and mysterious treasures.

Your home has mutated and evolved since you've been gone. Explore the vast ruins of the city to the desolate valleys of the wasteland and uncover secrets of the past and present.

On your journey you'll make new friends who can reward your efforts of bravery and meet merchants who will sell you important items and weapons in exchange for the spoils of your adventure.

Purchase, unlock, and upgrade powerful new weapons to fight enemies. Keep your favorite weapons and upgrade them throughout the game with mastery points.
