Fight for the future in this story-heavy, boss-fights-only action game. Defeat, debug, and repair massive robots as you uncover the dark secrets of the Zodiac System.

The Zodiac System is breaking. Only you can fix it. Play as a young engineer named Leo and fight deadly robots on a quest to save your home planet from the sinister plans of The Stranger.

Boss fights only. Master a fluid and satisfying combat system to take down 10 increasingly difficult bosses. Slash, shoot, and dodge your way to victory. Land melee attacks to replenish your ammo, then unleash a barrage of long-range attacks at your enemy. This short-range, long-range system infuses boss fights with a steady rhythm and keeps you in the action. Full animation canceling and freedom of movement means you'll never lose to a cheap shot. Learn your enemy's movements and defeat them through skill.

Leo's planet is a robot-powered utopia, but not all is as it seems. Talk with locals and discover the source of the Zodiac System's malfunctions. Get to know a colorful and diverse cast of characters brought to life through hand-drawn portraits.


Join Leo on a globe-trotting adventure across Verge. Treat your eyes to a beautiful pixel-art world, calling back to the classics of the 16-bit era. Tune your ears to over a dozen tracks of pulse-pounding and nostalgia-inducing original music.
- 10 unique and challenging boss encounters - A compelling sci-fi story about the cost of progress - Responsive and fluid combat - Pixel-perfect art style and hand-drawn characters - Completely original soundtrack
